He saw my Salt Lake City 61, Lilly, on the trailer at my house as he was drivin by and stoped to talk. I haven't seen the Duett he has but he seemed like an alright guy...

Paul http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1358169&rss=1 Sat, 4 Jul 2009 20:12 GMT FINALLY collected the car from Salt Lake City and have the sisters together again. Lilly and Lorna. Looking forward to the work of building a shop and starting the resto. Got the car on the 26 of june and drove across the U.S. to Nova Scotia in four days. The " sisters " are 7 numbers apart in the order of things. Both 61's and identical but for the no's. I'll post pic's later. Great site for me out here in the country. Happy 4th of July... Paul http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1358168&rss=1 Sat, 4 Jul 2009 20:07 GMT Hi. You describe the exact way my 82 245 was grinding and then quiet when brakes pressed. It was a rear bearing. 200,000 KM. on my car. easy job with bearing press. Don't wait as a fialed bearing is dangerous. Find out what is worn and replace soon. Good luck...

On my 54 Chev. 1/2 ton I had a flush sheared bolt in my exhaust manifold (generator mount) I placed a slightly smaller nut over the bolt hole and carefully welded the nut to the end of the broken bolt. This heated the stud enough to loosen it from the casting and the nut gave means to extract broken stud. I used gass welding to cherry hot the broken bolt. Good luck... Paul http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1345432&rss=1 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:55 GMT Hi. I would replace it with new or good used. I trust the orginal desingers to be competent engineers. I would also invest in a good manual and rely on the knowledgeble "Old Timers" here who have seemingly sound advice. Arm yourself with knowledge. Take care and have fun... Paul http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1337453&rss=1 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 13:27 GMT Hey joni74. Easy way is to get someone else to do it. lol The people here are wonderful with help and motovation. Another learning tool I'v used is pick-a-part type places. If colse by you could take some time to paw over a wreck while looking for that elusive option/trim piece. Great resorce for learning procedures and tools.I have 1982 245, two 1961 p210. Learning, inovation, pride of accomplishment. Great cars to have. Enjoy your new craft. Take careand have fun. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1337433&rss=1 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:17 GMT Hi Folks. If you google volvo 240 wikipedia will give a good little history and some interesting definitions. Progression and improvments over the years. So... my 1961 210 has one cylinder and no doors. Anyhow, volvo is one interesting car throughout the years. Take care and have fun... Paul http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1334319&rss=1 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 02:42 GMT Hey Catfish. I'm thinking hard to beat a one owner, 69k brick any year! Although I love my 200k+ 82, 245 I would gain a feeling for your aunt's car after doing repairs and personal touches. My wagon is an insurance salvage and I had the chance to add the 4 head-light front end from a 79? Cool! Been picking up parts to make her mine all along. Shifter, shocks, power windows, drop springs, wheels, clean up the inside. I'll get ready to f+t one day when I find another wright-off. Only advantage may be that older cars are some-what simpler to work on. Mine is N/A with one big carb. No puters, oxy sensor or K-Jet to confound me, although with good tools, books and advice you can fix whatever you want to. Part of having one... ah, well many, of these great cars is to treat them great. Great to be able to choose. lol Well what ever you decide enjoy the ride... Paul http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1334151&rss=1 Thu, 26 Feb 2009 04:44 GMT Nice Sam. I have been watching your progress, every-ones progress. Learning many things and how the power of cooperation I have a 61 Duett, actually a pair of em, one with me here in Nova Scotia, Canada and the other one in Salt Lake City to collect in spring. I have been moving home from Alberta Canada for a few years and now can finally apply the time I need to begin enjoying my little Volvo. It is a basket case (the one here in NS)and all the info that you all have been sharing will really help me when I re-assemble. Thanks for the inspration. Thank you all for how you share this site.
