Volvo 4 - WR6944 x-Malaysian Police Riot Squad.

Introducing Volvo 4.

Volvo 1 is almost completed
Volvo 2 is stuck in the queue waiting for Engine mounts to be built while they attend to the unexpected Pinzgauer engine rebuild during the middle of a PINZ restoration project.
Volvo 3 is with Adam the boat builder 365k away Near Penang
Volvo 4 Adam and myself have gone 50/50 in Volvo 4 since Volvo 1-4 are all going to be put into a business venture along with 2 more Volvos and the PINZ's.

The number plate is only a week away from Volvo 1 and 2.

I got a call from the guy who bought Volvo 1's engine asking me if I wanted his Volvo as he needed to sell it. A deal was done.

The engine I sold him was partially stripped by the workshop he left it at while thet were repairing it and dissappeared along with many other engine parts.

From a distance it looks ok.
Image

It's got a bit of rust
Image

Yes that is the original windows they look pretty unhealthy
Image

The inside is a mess and will need extensive surgey to fix it.
Image

The roof is quite bad and will take a log of work to fix it.
Image

Image

The drivers side floor as usual is gone.
Image

Even the doors are suffering due to the Volvo being left outside.
Image

Surprisingly the usual rust spot between the top and bottom cabins is not too bad.
Image

From the front grill there is a bit of rust to fix.
Image

Passenger floor is also a mess.
Image

I can fix it.
Image

Surprising the taillights are original and intact.
Image

This truck was not abused like Volvo 2 only neglected.
Image

Plans its going to be like Volvo 2 - identical twin. Both will be dual putpose with DAKAR style race setup and then a removeable canopy setup for movie shoots etc.
