We are from London Ontario. Three drivers in the family at this point three daily driver 140 series Volvos. A 68 142 owned for about 12 years, bought back from insurance twice in the last three years one front and one rear end accident. Needs paint and some rust work again this spring. 1970 145 owned for about 10 years, was not too rusty when I got it. Never did get around to a complete paint job. Gave to daughter as her first car for three years. Recieved it back three weeks ago and started the body work. Virtually nothing left from the rockers into the transmission tunnel. Body work progressing well. Third, recently completed near restoration ( or as near as I may ever achive) 73 144 109 green, This one spent its first 20 years in British Columbia and picked up considerable roof line rot and throuout the last 10 years was subjected to the normal Ontario salt exposure. I do all the work on these cars myself and it is all I caan do to attempt to stay on top of them from a safety perspective but at this point its seems like I am on a roll! My goal is to have summer and winter cars. I own a 123 gt that is quite restorable and complete and a fairly good 67 1800 as well as a 67 220 that I love and several parts cars. Finding parts cars and any good candidates for restoration is difficult and has been for about 7 or 8 years. And in our city of 320,000 there are two other 140 series cars on the road.
