Hello all,
New to the forum. I recently bought a 1980 242 DL with 205,000 miles. I have been working to get it running I am almost there.
I have a problem. We are moving to Guam in the western Pacific Ocean in July. I am debating if I should take it with me. The closest Volvo dealership is in Alaska. Parts would be ordered from the mainland.
It is an easy car to work on, but should I, once running, rely on it? It's a real gamble I know.
OR:
Leave it in storage in Colorado for 3-4 years. I want to keep it. So when I get back I will have an original unmolested 242 stick to tinker on.
Also would parts from Australia/ Japan "fit" my 242?
Chuy
