Jan 2016. Upholstery alternatives – from FB.

Well worth keeping. My floor/side/back upholstery is a bit fluffy and has an overly red tone. The original mats was replaced in the 80’s. First post is about VP’s alternative and while the tone looks very good it may not be the best.

Nov 2015. Retrospective forgery

With little to do on my car – being garaged for the winter – earlier this evening I asked the Swedish P1800 group if they knew what a metallic container could be. It’s found at the driver door post on my car. Not all have them. The image is bad but the given the …

Aug 2015. Eskilstuna Veterandag 2015

One of the biggest annual meet in Sweden with a 1000+ classics. Eskilstuna is an hour drive from Stockholm and the meet is located on an airfield. This year the P1800 club was to have an own hangar. Searched but found no relevant information from the club about it. So I mailed …

Aug 2015. Talbot Berlin 333 mounting instructions

These mirrors were common for the Porsche 356 and are considered rather exclusive. Absolutely vibration free mounting was possibly a selling argument and nice original ones can exceed USD 1250 on ebay. Mounting is unusually elaborate – as I found when disassembling mine a while ago. Mine were fitted when I …

Aug 2015. Not so safe, but safer than most?

At least the thinking was there. Found a print from Volvo director Tord Lidmalm from the 60’s. It’s an investigation about car safety and various solutions and problems in that area. Major concern for the P1800 is probably the steering wheel shaft protruding from the steering wheel to the front …

Jan 2014. Vad kan man göra med en kroknål?

Jo ganska mycket visar det sig. I alla fall om man är tapetserare. Jag har haft en söm som öppnat sig i förarsätets ryggstöd. Den började som en modest liten 2cm-springa men har växt glatt under de år jag haft bilen. I höstas hade den blivit 10 cm och inget …

Sep 2013. Placering T-kors och domkraft. Samt ny bagagerumsmatta.

Jag har den gamla typen av röd domkraft som tydligen är ovanlig. När detta skrivs finns en sådan på Tradera och nuv. bud är just nu 1650:- (!!). Man skulle kunna bli rik på att slakta en gammal P1800 med tanke på vad originaldelar kostar nuförtiden. Volvo ska ha bytt …
