Done

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, but I have finished. Not what I started, but I've finished. As we know I wanted to restore my car, well ladies and gents that just isn't possible for me. If you look at the pictures below you will notice that the body has taken a real beating, and to replace that amount of sheet metal would take more time than I have now, and for a long time. Cost was also a factor. I'm currently attending college which as everyone knows costs a lot, it doesn't make sense to put the required money in.

So now what happens to The Silver Bullet. Well I'll keep driving it and perform basic maintenance on it until she dies or I get a new car. If I get a new car The Silver Bullet will be returned to my Dad who will drive it back and forth to work until she dies. I will then take out parts and make a memorial. Also if you’re interested in parts I could probably help you out.

As I just said I'm going to get a new car. I'm looking for another Volvo 200, 700, 800, or 900 series or a Subaru. I would prefer a wagon, but I'll look at sedans as well. If you have a car that meets these requirements send me an e-mail at info2x@yahoo.com

Thanks

Floor mats in place

Front is patched up

Rear is patched up

Front

Front is patched

Close up of the front holes

Well after removing some rust I realized that there was no metal in the area

This full restoration doesn't seem worth it anymore...

That really can't be good

Passenger side is clean

Holes are even by where my feet are, not good.

On a brighter note the back is near perfect!

The back is in bad shape...

What that panel is going too?!?!?!

These wires kept me busy

Removing the carpet wasn't a good idea

Donate

As you may have noticed I have added a donation button underneath my profile. All donations received will be put towards my car.

I'll take this time to thank all those who are going to donate, it means a lot.

This coming weekend is going to be big! I'll be leaving NY and heading back down to NJ for spring break. I plan on leaving here at about 4PM and getting home by about 7PM. After a short dinner I will start to take my car apart to see how bad the damage is. I'll also be measuring so I can fabricate a new floor panel. I'll be buying a new welder, which is going to be expensive (this is why donations are appreciated). As usual I'll take plenty of pictures.
