1966 Volvo 122

[Keith602]

Painted the faces and as well as the lettering on the center caps. I had to have the wheel center bore milled to fit the front hubs. Waiting on tires now. Ended up going with 195/45/16 Yokohama pending a fitting. Its going to be very close.

Hoping so!


Still waiting on two of the lips, but I got the inner barrels back and two outers and mocked up a wheel. Im pretty happy with them! Still need to paint the faces. This was just a test coat

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn that's beautiful

Local resources are pretty scarce when it comes to old Volvos. I found a shop that can do repairs and service called "The Vo Vo shop" which was a decent experience. However most of the service I have done myself. As far as parts, ipd out of Portland and eBay are going to be your best bets. I got my headliner from eBay and it worked out great.

I think we have each other's instagram, feel free to direct message me. Have to check the wagon out at Pavilions or something.

Thanks for the links. Haven't been to a couple of those yet. And yeah - let's meet up at Pavillions. This Saturday is supposed to be a little cooler and stormy - I might go if it isn't raining or dusty. But yeah - I'm @FueledByPez on instagram.

What lens do you take these amazing photos with?

Thanks, I've been using a sigma 30mm 1.4 a lot lately.

Hey Keith, your car is beautiful. Great photography as well. I just bought a 122S Wagon and live in Tempe. I don't suppose you could refer me to some of your resources in town. I need a few parts and a new headliner and I'd eventually like to do some major work (like engine swap).

Aw man those wheels kept popping up on my instagram but I didn't connect them to this car. Going to look outstanding.

[Keith602]

Your car is completely stunning! Can't wait to see it on those equips, especially if you choose to paint them gold

Thanks!

I say go with the gold! That photo you took of the gold wheel face a few posts up looks really nice by the way

I tried photoshopping dark grey, black, full polish, etc and while they each had their merits gold seems to fit the style best.

Day off and decided to photoshop it one last time to make sure I was going forward with the gold. I love the profile of this car with that style fender mirror too.
