![]() Looking good. What color are you painting it?
You going to remove the clips and straighten the filler panel?

![]() Oil pump tube seals. Genuine Volvo ones.
Be careful using any aerosols around a primered car. That's a big no no. |

![]() Thanks! It was a two owner car (first being Volvo of N America). Second owner purchased in 1999 and had it since. It needs typical p80 love (pcv, ac evaporator, heater core...) but it's clean save for the bumpers (Boston city car). Interior is really nice, tires fresh, brakes good so it's a good start!
As for the 242, I'll be putting down color this week! Been block sanding and hi build primering for the past two weeks! It should look good when I'm done! |

![]() Finally some color! Part 1 is the door jams and loose stuff (spoiler, hood hinges, hood and both trunk lids, etc). Had some base left over so I shot the engine bay too. I really like the color!
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The color on the phone camera looks darker grey, but it is definitely blue. My shop lighting is not the greatest! Tomorrow I'll shoot the body; almost there! |

![]() Thanks! It's a lot of work but cars are my art! I find it relaxing to do this work and gives me time to think. The 242 is an amazing platform and this one was an excellent example to begin with. The biggest issue was the paint and that is almost done (the paint part).
