I have the Volvo p1800(pics on the previous post), but i hacked away on the floor pan to get rid of the rust by chopping and re welding new metal. When doing this, it revealed a bad job of a previous owner who had filled a rusted through cross member with bondo- Nice one pal!!Any way, i will replace that but i dont want to be doing a full frame up resto since i am not up to that. I reckon i can have it in good and reliable shape with an engine rebuild, paint job and new interior and other bits that go along with it. What do people think? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

Go as far as you want. If its safe and looks like you want it too that's all that you have too do.

go as far as your mind needs to go
don't think about others and your body if your mind is ready your body will do it
