Great patina on the car!
That creme wheel looks pretty slick! What type of paint did you use?
nice stuff
thank you! I do plan on painting her later, but i know its going to hurt when i start sanding it
Have you considered just fixing all the trims and make it somewhat "straight"? It looks damn damn good with this nicely aged paint, but those beat up bumpers, dent in panels and trims make it look worse. PDR?
I just noticed the Driver rear quarter... is that from the rear end hit? hopefully not. Good luck at the body shop. Keep the updates coming!
Lookin good!!!
If possible....I'd like to see a pic of the white dashboard padding with steering wheel also in picture!?
The bumper change or straightening out will improve looks even more. Hood and trunklid...not that important (my opinon)
Keep up
Get your car back asap even if you have to tow it home.
That's a beauty. Keep that running forever.
Inspiration for us all.
Get that car out of there and down to my shop in Torrance. I usually have rubber and poly bushings in stock.
Don't waste your time with any shady shops - take it straight to Ian (hiperfauto). He is a wizard with these old pushrod Volvos and a great and honest guy.

Seriously, don't let this other guy "tweak the carbs" or anything. Take the car to Ian.
And I'd consider leaving the original paint job - people pay big bucks to reproduce the patina look on American cars and VWs - why not an Amazon? Your car will look great with the damage pulled out and a few fresh parts.
