That rolling bodyshell would look SO much better if you fitted the early design nave plates / hub caps, and wheel trims, that came with those wheels?

Default 262 doors?

Anybody know if standard doors fit the 262? I have a spare set of 240 fronts
If any use - and a very good bonnet.

Only a few repair panels needed courtesy of Brookhouse and we are good to go

Go to Volvo GCP. There are more parts available than you think from there and cheaper than the suppliers. Ive got two brand new doors, bonnet and lower front panel fron there as well as various rubber bits.
