Earlier I asked soem Rocker panel questions.
http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/volvo-1003035.html

I walked past this car again today. It is a '72. I think it has 140K miles on the odometer. I can't climb all over this car because it is by appointment only and the doors were locked. Prior to calling I need more gut feels from you.
Drivers door, looks like the handle has come loose from inside the panel The door is not rotted there, just seems like the screw pulled out.
Are these held on by screws from inside?
Is this a common problem?
Front running light. Looks like a little rust by the 'bubble area that holds the light.
Suspension: from the looks of it, the whole car is sagging. Are Springs easily available?
Sorry for the questions that may sound dumb. If this was a Volvo 200 or an early Jeep, I'd have no problems knowing what I can get and what is impossible.

Not trying to restore this car as much as put some tin in some holes and make it look clean, but I need to know what is avaliable.
depending on how you respond, I may call up to get an appointment. Then I will get some Pics to show you the basic condition. What engine is in this car. B18? If it is I guess the basic repairs are typical to my b230...yes?
