This 1972 Volvo 1800 ES is a restored vehicle.
I bought the Volvo about 10 years ago out a long storage with 56k miles. It was not drivable and the interior and exterior were poor condition. It had two rust holes, one under the hood and the other in front passenger floor. Both were repaired. The car taken to local body shop restoration work. The engine and transmission were removed and taken to machine shop for rebuild. The vehicle was stripped and sandblasted. It was repainted two toned. Sounding material was installed in the roof and floor area. All new carpet, gas tank, headliner, heater got new blower, new brakes,booster, new stereo system, muffler,bushing and all new weatherstripping. Replaced the steering wheel an imported one from Italy and its feels great. Installed electronic ignition, but couldn’t get tac to work with it. The car runs great.
