Five Levels of Classic Volvo Restoration

Thinking about restoring a Classic Volvo? Here are some approximate scenarios. 

 
  1. “Look at it and tell me what I need”

  • SVS needs to see the car in person, spend some time with it

  • Preliminary determination of needs/options


2. “I just want to get it running”

  • Take a longer look

  • Parts, labor, safety

  • Brakes, signals, basics, etc.


3. “Make it my daily driver”

  • Make it work 

  • Safe and road ready


4. “I want to show off my daily driver”

  • Make it work and road ready

  • Take it to shows, turn heads, wow my friends


5. “Win the show!”

  • Budget is a non-issue

  • Aim for perfection

  • Whatever it takes!
