A few missing bits of chrome on order and the radio needs doing. Other than that she has been hitting the highway the past few weeks.

Kinda dirty in the photos as it was just after a weekend of summer highway driving (bugs/dirt)

But it is a driver not a trailer queen.

Oh yeah and it needs some black carpet too!.

Wow! Great looking vehicle! I didn't even know Volvo ever made such unboxy vehicles!

Hey it looks really nice, report back with your long drives.

Very Swede indeed.

I think ktm's adventures in restoring the car has inspired me to almost want to jump into such a project.

Fantastic job KTM! Good for you (and for us being able to 'come along for the ride' too).

Keep posting pics. That's such a rare beast that I'm sure most of us would be happy to see it from every angle inside and out.

P1800 looks great. How does it compare to the V70 R?

I don't know. Just using microsoft photo editor to resize and then dumb-down the pics from 1.2 MB to 90 KB's. Something's gota give I guess.

That is a very cool looking car! Have fun with it!

Thanks for the updated pictures. Ah, it does take me back to my university days when one of my friends had the only P1800 I had ever seen. It was brand new, of course, and I sometimes even got to ride in it - in the back!

That may be why my back is the way it is today, come to think about it. $:-\$

Sweet car!

I vaguely remember seeing these around when I was a kid.

Please give us your driving impressions!

yeah that program is terriable for re-sizing. Try Paint Shop Pro or even the resizng XP Power Toy from Microsoft.

Anyway the car looks great! I've always really liked those earlier ones. Very nice - seats look good too!

Great job, and what a nice looking car. Lots of road presence.

Now if I could only drop in a WRX engine and driveline.
