Great job Martin as always. I noticed that the original window unit had an extra hole in the top where as the repro one didn't. Simons head fits in the hole and that keeps him upright, but shaving his backside does the trick.. Hope all is well with you. Stay safe and well. Cheers Chris 👍🏻🇦🇺🍻🏁
Nice one Chris, that would explain it thanks for that 👍
Glad you liked it and thanks for your continued support my friend 👍
My favorite Volvo. Good casting to work on. You did an awesome job on it 👍

All the best martin
Looks great....had a couple of these as a kid and have one to restore in my "to do" box. Still think the Volvo P1800 was one of the best looking cars of the '60s.
Definitely Derrick without a doubt.
Glad you liked it my friend
Ha, I had the theme tune in my head whilst you did this one 😁👍 very satisfying result
Cheers sam ,I hate that when it happens 🤣🤣
All the best martin

Cheers paul glad you liked it my friend

Thanks Adrian, glad you liked it my friend
You definitely did Simon Templar proud my friend! As always that looks better than brand new especially since you got the box for it!
Cheers Scott, glad youliked it ,yes the box just finished it of nicely 👍
All the best Martin
Tricky casting repair - I think I'd have consigned that one to my scrapyard diorama - but you rescued it well enough!
Looks so much better than it was, but it shows how a bit of effort, time and TLC can restore these things for a new life. Congratulations.
Thanks very much Fraser, I was surprised how easy the paint came off .
Its a pretty little car.
All the best Martin 👍
The Saint rules.!!!! Fantastic job,mate. Best wishes
😄😄 thanks paul much appreciated my friend
I loved the old VOLVO P 1800 on the Saints car (Roger Moore), another fantastic restoration by yourself.
Thanks Rob ,it's a great car and a nice casting to work with.
All the best martin
Fabulous job Martin. Goes to show overpaint = bargain = doable project.
It sure does mike , thanks for watching my friend
That's the earlier P1800 he drove in the series, bodies were built by Jensen and featured cow horn bumpers. The later cars he drove had the straight bumpers designated 1800S 'S' stood for built in Sweden..I like Volvo's, had several over the years. Great resto Martin, looks better than factory.
Cheers MR P I did notice the to different cars when I was doing my research.
Glad you liked it
Excellent wok straightening the roof. Looks really good mate
Cheers Juan it means a lot coming from you my friend 👍
Very nice restoration Martin, I even I went awww when the screen broke.
🤣🤣 I bet you did , thanks Michael and hopefully see you Friday
An old friend of mine back in the seventies had one… I say, “had”… He took out a number of guard rails on both sides of the highway and down an embankment. Wrote the car off! ☹️ They were sober too! Always liked that model! Great job Martin! 👍🏻 Nice to have the box too! 👍🏻😎🇨🇦
Opps I hope thay were ok after.
Thanks for watching Lawrence
All the best Martin 9

This is a car I always want - but they go for silly money .
Great save, magic job
Cheers ,yes these aren't cheap, but couldn't resist this one.
All the best Martin 👍
Crisp, clean & lush
Thanks Ian much appreciated my friend
So, who says you can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear? Brilliant piece of work and probably better than factory…👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
I groaned out loud when the window piece snapped……but, as they said about the 4 foot tall judge, these little things are sent to try us. 😖
Thanks very much, it was a shame it broke so easily, but it's like you say these things are sent to try us .
All the best martin
Another silk purse Martin, great job my friend.
Thanks tony glad you liked it my friend
A great result, I really felt for you when the windscreen broke.
Cheers Keith, I was gutted to say the least, but with the damage to the roof iam not surprised.
Thanks for watching my friend.
Absolutely beautiful work Martin! (I can’t believe how calm you were when the glass broke apart…not even a pause in the recording - there would have been yelling and screaming here 🤣)
Cheers jim , I was in shock 🤣🤣 , considering the roof was damaged I should have known the window unit would be toast .
All the best martin

Hi Martin what a thing of beauty I saw one of these in a museum very streamlined shape before they got into there box shape phase. It's nice when they all go to plane and the diecast gremlin is visiting a different channel lol. Great news on the mg front she's all done and back on the road and boy what a deferens. Synchro all round and the 5th gear is like an overdrive got up to 110 kph and it could have stayed there all day beeeaauutiful. The cars speedo needs recalibrating but I have a separate digital speedo as back up. And the best news is the wife can have her car space back in the shed so looks like she may even let me back in the bedroom lol. I told her it would take 3 weeks it took 4 months lol. Great job as usual mate catch you on the next one.👍 When I started the job🧑 when it was finished 👴 lol.
That's great news Geoff, iam glad the test drive went well ,no stopping you now . And the other half is happy now as well win win then .
All the best martin
Wow, what a transformation Martin. Really good one. That windscreen unit breaking was a bit of a bummer, I was looking forward to seeing you restore it. Looking forward to your next video. All the best. Peter.
Cheers Peter, yes it was a shame, I think it would have made a good example for a restoration video, I have some others .
All the best Martin 👍
Great resto Martin and what a difference from what you started with, really enjoyed this video mate the volvo P1800 was a stylish looking motor, another great model for your collection
Thanks paul ,I have seen one in real life and its certainly a pretty car like you say very stylish.
All the best martin

Great job Martin. By the way, this model never came with the ST1 number plates so you didn’t make a mistake by not ordering them.

Do you use Youmove for your old dog’s arthritis?
Hi paul it's his enlarged heart that makes him sound like that , and he struggles up steps and walking he has tablets for it but he is 15 now we do have some you move if he needs it .
It's kind of you to suggest it .its much appreciated my friend
What did you use to fix the base to the car.
2.5mm x 4mm long rivets or you can use pop rivets just remove the shaft .
All the best Martin
