1800 Newbie/few questions 1800

posted by  someone claiming to be Hummeri7582 on  Tue Jun 22 07:22 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hey all...

Long time Volvo owner, two 940s and an s70, and a few 240s over the years...

My fiancee told me I'm working too hard and need a hobby, so I've settled on restoration of a 1800.


My question, and it's really stupid I'm sure: Whats the difference between an 1800s and an 1800P? Didn't get the 1800P-- price way too high for a car that needs frame off restoration, plus I wasn't looking forward to towing it home from Philadelphia, anyway. I'm looking at an 1800S now.... they look the same, so what's the difference?

Is one easier to get parts for than the other?

Any general caveats I should be aware of? I've restored VWs before but never a Volvo, though I do work on my 940s by myself, so I know quite a bit in general.

any advice is greatly appreciated!

Fred
