Konrad Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Went on a shopping spree last week and got this liitle gem trailered back to my house. It's 1961 Volvo Amazon 122S, was sitting 35 years in shed, 50k miles on counter, very good condition, actually for this age it's almost perfect I'm in 2 minds about it, part of me want to do clean restoration, but wilder one is whispering about very nice 2JZ-GE engine sitting in my shed doing nothing Getting unit for a car workshop next week (starting my own bussines!) so between servicing and repairs of various cars I will spend some time measuring and umming about subframes, gearbox and brakes Stay tuned hehe Full album here: http://s128.photobucket.com/albums/p169/Konik1977/volvo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Haha, this rusty patches are not proper rot, it's getting off with sandpaper Few pics shows proper solid underseal underneath the car, there is just 4 places which will need some weld, rest of the bodywork needs proper sanding down/sandblasting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
