trailered the amazon estate today[with pics]
 

been preparing the car for a few weeks before its restoration starts,removing all the interior,wings etc.
i took it away today to have all the fabrication work done,inner and outer sills,floor pan,chassis rails,and a few other areas.
hopefully i,ll have it back early new year,then put the new wings on,then its off to be painted then mot'd,then eventually putting all the interior back in and cleaning the nuts off it!! cant wait!

Excellent! Best of luck with it Pez. Keep us updated with plenty of pics during the whole thing. Hopefully they wont find too many horrors underneath...

Soon be doing a similar thing with my `66 saloon.
Hope all goes well for you.

Best of luck with the restoration and I look forward to seeing it at one of the Volvo meets in the future.

Hope all goes well keep us all updated . I will be going to see how the resto on our gracie is going tomorrow so will put in an update .

thanks lads,im pretty certain i wont find any more horrors underneath as ive prodded,poked and inspected every inch underneath this car,hours and hours laid on me back!!
i,ll keep postin updated pics as soon as i have them,cheers for the comments.

Are you able to get some "in progress" photos? I'd love to see the rust coming out and new metal going in. (Also, it's a great record to keep with the car of course).

yeah ive been thinking about that john,but the workshop ive taken it to is an hours drive from where i live,plus im working a shutdown at work,70 hours a week for the next 5 weeks,when i get chance im gunna try and see if i can get chance to pop over to take some pics.
youre right pal,ive taken loads of pics of all the rot,as im gunna make a sort of restoration photo album from start to finish.

Wow, that is very rusty!

Surprising because it looked pretty good before the work started.

Best of luck
