Knew you do a good job on that Rob. Got worried when I saw the wheel but hopefully she rolls better now, certainly seemed to on the turntable at the end. Thumbs up mate
I had this model as a Dinky 'Action Kit' - all the bits, and you made, and painted it yourself. Different wheels, though, I seem to remember. Lovely motor in real life - a bloke down my road had a grey one. Of course, made famous by 'The Saint', as played by Roger Moore, and I'm the proud owner of the Corgi model. At the time Volvo was a rather niche import to the UK. The massive success of 'The Saint', soon sorted that out. Another 100%er! Looks great, and those gold wheels set off the red a treat. Nice one.
Nice job Rob. Always associated that volvo p180 with Simon temple in the Saint, played by the late Roger moor. Would have been nice in white with the reg st1, great job anyway, my favourite volvo and does look the best volvo ever. 👍🏻
Lovely job as ever (and finally a use for those horrible Yesteryears). A couple of things that might help you out in future - there's a glue called Krystal Klear that's perfect for fixing broken glazing as it dries perfectly clear and doesn't cause hazing like superglue. Also you can buy rhinestones off eBay in loads of sizes really cheaply that are perfect to replace those Dinky headlights
Nice 1800s I still think the 960 estate is the most beautiful Volvo ever! But I am bias! .... Looks out the window at the 1995 Volvo 960 with 3ltr 24v Straight Six Engine sitting on my drive.. with iconic wipers for the headlights :)
Nice work. Speaking from experience with your paint, you are right in saying white spirit / turps retards drying times & that can be useful on full sized commercials. If you want your paint to harden faster use petrol instead. You will find it goes off much faster. Its how we used to do things in the winter months. Hope this helps.
The Yesteryear wheels look great. Just the right amount of gold.
The 1800 is a favorite of mine and you did it up just right !
YES! I was hoping for a restoration of the Volvo P1800! Thanks Rob.
Lovely bit of work on restoring this casting! :)
Happy Motoring Rob. Great job on the dinky volvo. Gold wheels make it look great.

Knew you do a good job on that Rob. Got worried when I saw the wheel but hopefully she rolls better now, certainly seemed to on the turntable at the end. Thumbs up mate

Nice job bro 👍😎
Looks good
Nicly done. Volvos are the best 😉
Nice little restoration, and 100% paint removal! Great job, Rob!
Nicework Rob! The Volvo looks good as new and nice recovery on the wheel replacements.
Fantastic work! Those Yesteryear wheels are a surprisingly awesome sub. So cool.
Although it's not the one I voted for, I am glad this one was chosen! What a cool car and very nice job you did!
looking forward for the Pacer :-)
gorgeous end result yet again. pls do the pacer lol
Nice one Rob , the wheels look a bit to skinny for me , but yiu did a good job on the paint and everything else , looks good 👍
Magnificent. Very well done, Rob😍
Hi Rob, great car resto,the gold wheels go well with the red paintwork.details set it off perfect.
Nice job Rob.
Always associated that volvo p180 with Simon temple in the Saint, played by the late Roger moor.
Would have been nice in white with the reg st1, great job anyway, my favourite volvo and does look the best volvo ever. 👍🏻
Simon Templar, Roger Moore.
Awesome job Rob! What a fantastic red and those wheels….. fantastic detailing as always!
Always keep your tip lubricated 😁 great to see you back again ❤
Glad you're back, love watching your videos.
I really liked this restoration, you did a good job 👍
Don't forget to lubricate your piece before tapping holes. Your Dinky will appreciate it.
Nice model car volvo 1800s nice restoration. 100 percent. That's a swedish car 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
The P1800 is a classic, whereas the Pacer is a hunk of 1970's Detroit junk, only a viable subject if you're a _Wayne's World_ fan. Good choice!!!
You note you'd like one of these in real life. I can say they are a tight fit getting in but seem to be comfortable inside.
Great job Rob, the red paint with gold wheels is a classic Lotus colour scheme, even though it's a Volvo it still works well.

The wheels were a happy accident, in my opinion. Good stuff, Rob.
Nice

You can't beat an Estate (or Wagon in the US) for design purity!!
Red looks good on her, but I would have done an ivory white w/red accents (The Saint). great job still. love it.
Nice work. Speaking from experience with your paint, you are right in saying white spirit / turps retards drying times & that can be useful on full sized commercials.

Thanks for the tip
Nice resto :) The wheels fit well and seem to be taken from the Matchbox MOY range? Cool creativity 🥰
Hi Rob , hope all is well .
I gave you a shout out last night in my new video

Looks like a 100% paint removal to me !!
100% paint removal!
100% PAINT REMOVAL - WOOHOO!! 👍😁
She buffed up nicely Rob. Did you sand the suspension piece or was that just the caustic soda that cleaned it up?
That was steel brushed after caustic soda
@@MatchboxGarage OJ. It looked pretty good when it came out the jar.👍
Is that from the saint
Looks sensational. But the wheels look wrong front on. Too....biscuity....
