Beautifully sleek 1971 Volvo P1800 Coupe in for complete restoration
Our customer purchased this 1971 Volvo P1800 about six years ago. She owned a very similar one during her college years and was ready for another one. This example had a bit of rust, and was ready for a complete refresh.
We performed complete body work and pain. This involved significant rust damage. After we media blasted the vehicle, even more problems arose. Quite common. Our pros got the metal just right, then it was into primer. After that, as always, was a ton of sanding. Finally the paint went on - and again more sanding. After the finish was perfected, our guys reassembled with refinished chrome and trim. We also did some mechanical fine-tuning to get the car to run as good as it looks.
Now it's ready to roll for another 45 years.
