restoration project on '72 145 140-160

Considering getting a 145 with 120k miles on it for $500. It still runs but very poorly. Originally purchased in Sweden but it has alot of problems. First, the whole roof is caved in from carrying something very large and heavy. Oil leaks needs about a quart a week. The fuel injection was taken out and switched for a carbuerator 20 years ago and has ran really bad since. Besides all the normal things that need replaced for a 32 year old car, are these things worth getting the car? Would I be able to fix the roof, switch it back to fuel injection and do something about the oil leak. This would be my first project car. I don't have and extreme amount of $$$ for this but am trying to save this brick from getting wasted on someone who does not care about Volvo or sent to the junkyard.


thanks,
malmo99
