Volvo 444

First this is a total amateur restoration. This is a daily driver/parade car, not I repeat not a show car. The car was recovered from a pasture were it had been parked for over 20 years. Car was parked due to brake failure.

Data from the Body Tag is as follows: Body style is aP44408-1957, (car is titled as a PV444 1958). Exterior color is #47 Dark Green, Interior is also #47 Dark Green. Interior trim is #10-128 Highlander. Paint color and interior style are correct for this vehicle. However, the fenders are painted a shade or two darker than the body just to give a little contrast in the appearance of the car. 

Engine is the correct 16B for the car. But the twin SU Carbs where missing when I purchased the car so a Weber carb and intake has been fabricated and used on the car. Engine runs fine, a valve job was completed on the car a year before it was parked. Plugs, plug wires, points/condenser and cap were all replaced. With the exception of changing leaking gaskets and water pump I have not been inside the engine.

Transmission is the correct 3 speed. The clutch and throw out bearing have been replaced. U-joints have been replaced. Wheel bearings are also new.

Front suspension is all new. Front cross member, inner fenders and wheels have been powder coated.

Due to rust issues the Floors and rockers have been replaced. Car was painted in July of 2023.

Old bumpers were replaced with new European design stainless steel bumpers.
