Yes it is.
It's a 1968 volvo 121 that I found in bad shape almost 30 years ago.
This was the kind of cars that was cheap when I got my license, so they where often used and thrown away.
Luckily I was smart...
My only wagon.

Tested the car on the open roads a couple of days ago, and everything worked well.
Did a wheel alignment and adjusted the lights.

Not much of an update, but last summer I had a guy come and change my windshield, that I ordered from Ed.
A couple of months later I discovered a gap between the glass and the roof while trying to...
I used a paint gun on my parts. Any paintshop who deals with carpaints should be able to tint the basecoat you need, and supply the clearcoat. Also primer and plasticiser if you need it.
I painted the fascias myself, the color is Alfa Romeo Grigio Antares Stromboli Met. Code 651A. Did not get the clearcoat I wanted so I had to mix 2 different types of clear, but ended up too glossy...
Ok, not working very much on this car during the summer but some things has been done.
Fascias have been painted

They really looked bad before.

Just ordered : Alfa Romeo Grigio Antares Stromboli Met. Code 651A
I hope my supplier can mix that color.
The doors are mounted

Not much has happened during the winter, but the seats has been stripped and new trim panels made.

Got an e-mail telling me my left front fender was dropped of for shipping overseas yesterday.
Good things happen to those who wait? I Guess :approve:
Very impressed, you are doing a lot of work and will end up with an amazing car in the end :thumbup:
Hi Svein. It's good to see your car as it was back then, and it looks like a complete running delorean. What exactly made you decide to take it apart and restore it?
And what about the side stripe,...
Wow, you're getting some amazing results.
No Money back. I gave the seller time to arrange the shipping to my freight forwarder, and I think eBay buyer protection is valid only for a limited time.
Purchased a left front fender on ebay to replace my damaged one.
The sad thing is I never got it, and today it's 2 years since that thing was payed.
Better look for a paint shop that can mix the color for you, or a volvo dealer.
I have more than one custom made rattle can, but they have been rebranded by the shop I got them from.
Got my rattle can from Sweden, so not much help for you I guess.
