So, doors that I did have were way too far gone, another set were sourced so now starting over with alignment. You can also see from this picture that the sills and arches have been completely replaced. As soon as I can get transported sorted it will e off for paint.
In other areas, front cross member is fully rebuilt, one bearing is a little stiff which I will have to take apart, hopefully it's not the had carrier itself. You can also se my shiny news discs which are a conversion from the original front drum brakes. I have also poly bushed everything. Adjustable Gaz dampers and custom lowering springs.

Great work, looks like its being done properly, which is epic 
When are you painting it green?
Haha.
The doing it properly is what's making it take so much longer. Sticking with the engine I have has caused no end of problems because parts just aren't avalible, so are having to be made.
Going green? As nice as it would be for a return of the sheep I think the colour would be out of place! It's actully going the colours that the doors are, which has a hint of green in it.
Dave... Correct

Amazing, Jon.
Looks great. Love old Volvos.
Beautiful.
Saner http://bit.ly/1bAdRFO don't know if this is any help with bits and bobs?
By It might be, Thanks J!
It is now rebuild time. hopefully get the car back in the parents garage next week so I can visit and start work.
In Engine news, plans for the tuned 2.0 B20 went out the window. It's an early car, so has a thinner transmission tunnel, which limits me on gearbox options. Also wanting to keep some of the originality about it I decided to stick with the 1.6 B16.
So these had about 60bhp. So to keep up with modern traffic I needed more power. So to keep within my rule of 'period' modifications, managed to source a Supercharger. Engine has been rebuilt and dynod, 110 bhp peak but more importantly 90-110 ft-lb torque straight across the rev range. So happy with that!

Yeah... you may have been onto something there.
