Awesome!!! Enjoy the stick learning experience! :D
I know it’s cliche and I sound like a douchenozzle every time I say it, but I REALLY miss driving stick when I don’t have my own car, and I will be very sad when it disappears from the markets...there’s just something very soothing and engaging knowing that you are an integral part of the workings to get yourself to where you have to go. :)
Looking forward to more updates! I expect an overview post immediately after you get it home and can see it up close. :P

Awesome, congrats! Feels like you’ve been looking for your manual restoration project for forever, glad to hear it’s happening. A fine choice of make, too.

Did somebody forget to tell Volvo that you’re supposed to ‘facelift’ not ‘facelift it all the way off’?

The bumper is included! I like the grille it has better than that one, though.

Yeah, it's been annoying seeing all these cars come and go (especially the Galaxie) but I'm super happy with where we ended up!

Oooooo, so it has the B20. Good fun. Now you can also be around honda guys and be like “Yeah, my dad and I got a B20.” but only you have to know it’s for a volvo!

My dad’s friend gave me a 1968 144 with 50,000 miles about 25 yrs ago because his neighbors didn’t want him storing it in his backyard.It had a little side damage but I managed to pick up a new control arm and fender. Too young at the time and without funds it sat in my mom’s driveway just being started evey once in a while. After a couple years she had enough and I had it sent to the junkyard. My dad said that it had the same engine (B18) as their sportier 1800.
So 7 yrs ago I picked up an 1966 ish 1800 sight unseen and not running and am now putting in a B20. Haven’t gotten around to getting it together yet and have never driven it. Life stuff. Hope to get it driving this summer.
