What a lovely looking car, honest as has been said. I'd keep it exactly as is, kind of reminds me of the beaten-up pick-ups in old Hollywood films. Are these as good as Amazon's as daily drivers?

Its quite nippy, but screams a bit in 4th gear, B16b engine with a 4 speed box. havent had it out for long yet as ive got a waterpump to sort and a knackered float needle valve to sort in one of the su's. The carb is weeping fuel all over the exhaust manifold. Otherwise it quite comfortable and steers quite nicely. This is my first volvo so no basis for comparison but its a good car, never been welded, and needs minimal work. Going to keep ithe patina, and will add some pics when its on the road.
