Excellent!!! Looks like a great ride.

I went from my 245 track build to a '58 PV444 and love it.

It's even simpler than the 240 and is a hoot to work on.

ohh yeah, the B16-B18-B20 are crazy little engines, i first began messing around with one at my local junkyard. the tranny is a different story though, at least the automatic unit

heck yeah, the 76 242 is a track car in progress, the 244 was going to be my daily driver but i have decided to sell it, the 83 242 is my new daily, that one is going to be a group A replica car and the amazon is just gonna get restored :-D

There are some bonuses to the auto, such as the higher compression B18B instead of B18D, and the auto has a wider transmission tunnel. You know, in case something else finds its way in there.

Nice find.

holy sh!t really, thats pretty friggin awesome !! i didnt know that, that would ease things up if i ever swap in that manual tranny, theres a 145 wagon at the local junkyard as we speak, might be worth going back and snatching the tranny and related items
 
Congrats! what a pretty car :)
Nice collection as well!
Can't wait to see it when you set to work on it!
I love the 122S. For sure one of my top 5 Volvo dream cars.
