    There's so much going on with Adam Nonis' build and in this video he summarizes the VERY extensive build surrounding his Volvo Amazon Wagon, which started as a completely stripped out and rusty 122 example, and ended up being a 2 door wagon that's sitting on top of a BMW E30 chassis.

    Adam is too modest to mention that this car was hit hard less than two months ago (in the blue livery seen earlier in the video) in the right rear quarter, and that he brought it back to this in that time, including the bodywork and a full repaint.
    Amazing skills. Kudos Brother.

    My beloved 240 was hit by a loose wheel 2 weeks ago. It struck the left front wheel and fender. I am left with having to repair it, as insurance wanted to total it. Having only 43K miles I just can't let that happen. Adam has inspired me that my work is minimal compared to what he did. Excellent job!

He was able to go through the process of finding a way to modernize a car I have always liked .Make it a two door wagon, fit it to a newer chassis with running gear and electrical and keep the original look . If you did not know that Volvo did not make.a two door you would think they all looked like this . Nice job on a not your everyday car ;-) I would like to see his tool box

    This is impressive! While it isn't how I would prefer to do a build (Marrying as much of a P2R as possible to a 700/900 wagon while keeping it RWD is more my style), the details came together so well, and the car community needs more of this kind of craftsman. Overall 10/10 build, more like this need to exist. Hopefully I can follow in these footsteps one day and one day do a build that even half as good as this.
