[TR] Completely off topic - Volvo P1800

[Chad]

Look for ANY sign of rust/repair/corrosion on the rockers....especially near
the base of the "A" post.  These cars have a lot of "laminated" metal areas
that are a b*itch to repair properly if the tin worm has taken hold.

Sorry for
the off topic post but I couldn't find a Volvo list on team.net.
I'm going for
a 2nd 

look at a 1967 Volvo P1800S tomorrow and hoped that somebody could
tell me
what the 

trouble spots are to look for. It was restored in 1997
(with over 300,000
miles on it) by the 

original owner but has been driven
relatively little since (he died in
2000).  It's been sitting 

inside in a
garage since. Battery and carbs are missing so obviously the
engine does not
run. 

Was told it "ran when parked" (famous last words?).  Car looks very
straight,  floors and trunk 

are clean as a whistle, chrome is good. What
else should I be looking for?
Any and all help 

will be appreciated.  Thanks.
