    Fantastic video! Currently working on a 72 144s. Don't have the funds to do a full restoration while in school, but learning a lot along the way! Don't stop making videos!

    Very interesting. Hope the job turned out to meet all your expectations. I'm very lucky in that I know a body shop that specializes in Volvos. Arthur has never had rust repair. The only body work has been repairing collision damage. You would be very hard pressed to find any of the repairs. The first was way back in the summer of 1990. The last was in 2016. They managed to match both colour and texture of the 24 year old Ice Blue metallic.

    I've got a buddy that has a volve wagon from the 60's. Not sure what year maybe 69. His wife's granddad bought it new and she drove it though high school. It still runs very well. There is a plan to restore it one day. Very cool cars.

    Your story brought my memories back when I was restoring my 164. Guy was changing places several times, then deadlines were changed million times and finally less and less answers on my phone calls and sms until guy disappeared at all. Luckily I new were he was working and renting work bay from the workshop. Went there and owner of the shop gave me back car. So I almost lost it. So this was about 8 months I suppose. I took it to recommended workshop with text that it needs only paint and it turned out that whole job need to be redone. So hard lesson, but in the end I got the car nice and shiny. Good luck to all resto guys.

    I hope for all the grief and stress they put you through they at least gave you a fantastic job. I would have went in there with an uzi long before now. Did they at least give you a discount for all the grief that they put you through? I suppose not.

    I have a 1998 Volvo XC70. Got me through this crazy Winter. Even though it consistently took 4 attempts to get my Volvo started in this negative degree cold freezing my ass off and praying every time, as i drove home from work at 3am. And I have decided it is time to get a new vehicle. I am buying a base model 2018 Nissan Frontier. Very good list of basic features, including air conditioning, ABS, 6 air bags, bluetooth audio, touchscreen, and an extremely reliable 4 cylinder engine. All for 18,500. I am leaving this Volvo craziness. Goodbye Sweden hello Japan!

      Didnt Wilco sing a song like that? Unlikely Sweden Impossible Japan.

    • @DavidBello
      @DavidBello  6 років тому +1

      BenMJay yeah the Wilco song was Impossible Germany, Unlikely Japan. But I share in your sentiment. The problem with Volvo is the problem that plagues every European car, with obvious exceptions: Electrical Components. It could’ve been something as small as a relay or as big as an ECU to fix that. And diagnostics are expensive unfortunately. I am glad you can move forward with a new vehicle, and that it gives you many years of faithful service.

    Oh man, this brings back nightmares of when I restored an '88 E30 Touring. So many delays, frustrations, excuses, disappointments. There's nothing worse returning to a shop week after week to find NOTHING has been done and never hearing an apology from the owner. The things we do for love...

    You put yourself in more of tenable situation with the distance and though they do good work, how they approach working is so layed-back, you have to be the type who has grocery /lunch money to keep a little good-mojo working. You have the patience of a saint, David. Maybe even Yoda. I hope all comes out well, and did you evacuate and still have a house left?

    • @DavidBello
      @DavidBello  6 років тому +2

      Phil R didn’t have to evac, thankfully. Only two houses in the edge of the wilderness were destroyed. We were very lucky unlike the thousands of homes further north in central CA that got wiped out. I’m also very understanding with the shops, and that is why I’m not in a managerial position; I can be too soft and I know it. Too understanding to be a hard whip driver. But if you’re too hard and they feel the pressure to rush, you’re in trouble.

    • @DavidBello
      @DavidBello  6 років тому +1

      Phil R especially because I don’t want to drive back here to have them fix a mistake that manifests itself in a few months from now because they were rushed.

      Friend of mine's daughter and husband lost it all. I lived in S. California - Canoga Park /Woodland Hills and near Hollywood at one time. I witnessed a huge fire i 1970. Until one sees these fires, the impact is so different from video. So glad you were safe and know the navigations with the shops...which I understand.; excited to see you moving forward with the restoration of the '67(year I grad. from hs!). Cheers!

    Thanks - next time I think I need to deal with rust instead of sand blasting I'll go the paint stripper route!

    • @DavidBello
      @DavidBello  6 років тому +1

      Movo Iroll take all of their and my advice with a grain of salt. Media blasting can be a good alternative, but will cost more. The chance of heating and warping is less, and it might just be faster to strip with chemicals or orbital sanders. Not to mention cleaning all the sand in the cracks and corners and rockers can be very time consuming to ensure a dust-free environment. It all depends on the experience of the shop and what they prefer for your car.

    They have had the car for how long? Did the car go from NM to CA for the paint?
    Is she painted and put together now?

      @DavidBello  6 років тому +1

      jsegura525 they’ve had the car a year already, but this video shows from the time they started the work (about 8 months in) to finished body work and had it in primer (about 6 weeks)
