Since I've been interested in Volvo's I've always liked the '71 and '72 142 body style. I was lucky enough to find one in great condition. The interior looks almost new and it runs great. Sadly someone did a bad paint job to it. Right now the sides of the car are primed and the top is still a Maaco gray.

Since the interior needs very little work and the engine runs pretty well I plan on focusing on paint and suspension first. For now it will get painted a dark red, but will eventually have the whole car stripped and painted. After that a set of gray Virgos will be mounted along with springs, shocks, and poly bushings.
