Vol242vo's 1980 Cali White 1 Owner 242

Keep in touch with the previous owner. Take her for a drive when you get it finished. She will appreciate it. Trust me I have been there.

Yeah I do and will continue to. We just spoke yesterday, she was telling me just how hard it was to sell the car but thrilled it went to an enthusiast, I?ve sent her almost all of these pictures and she loves every bit of it. Super cool lady!

Are these Recaro seats? Did you have to modify the headrests or did the fit the Recaros just like that? I know that the Recaros have a post spacing of 240mm and I thought Volvos have something else.
 
Hey thanks guys! It’s getting there.

Before snow starts to fly, I rolled the 242 outside and put it on stands to pressure wash the underside, wheel wells, and engine bay so I have semi-clean areas to work on this winter. Also finished cleaning the passengers door and hung it’s door panel. Wheels are 100% ready for rubber now too!

The commando bumpers really take up some space in the garage, but still keeping them because I think they look cool. I still can't believe how large a 242 is, 3" longer than my 740T wagon was, way longer than my V50.

Way to clean it up, I need to do the interior removal clean also.

Agreed. Normally I?d throw a nice set of toy bumpers on but there?s just something about this one that I just can?t do it. I like the look of commandos on this one, a lot.
