The adventures of DCW

DCW242

I thought I'd start a thread for the general car related activities that happen, since there's too many projects happening and not enough of them get time spent to create individual threads, this will be for purchases, cool pics and general updates as I bulid my business.

This happened a few days ago, we now have a warehouse.

So what does DCW stand for , for those of us that don't know ?

What buisness are you building ?

It's just my initials, we are setting up an automotive restoration business, this will cover a lot of different work, we will also be doing basic servicing and maintenance but mainly just for the local Volvo scene since there's already lots of mechanics in the area.

I got this delivered today, it's a bishamon two post floor plate hoist. using other types would mean having a section of the floor redone since it's pretty average, I don't think the floor plate will get in the way a lot. It was 2.5k including delivery, installation and wiring. It will be getting repainted.

This got delivered a few weeks ago, supercharged 240.

Yep that's it, it has been in storage for the last 7 years.

Dad and I towed the 760Turbo down this morning, good to finally have it under cover.

I drove the orange 244 down today, I'm pretty keen to get this registered. It has a genunie 84.000Ks and is in amazing original condition. The first job is to paintthe original steel wheels and put them back on.

Great to see the business taking shape!

@DCW242 is that orange 244 the one that was in albury with damage to the rear side panel? I was super tempted to buy it, glad it found a good owner.

Is your plan with all these cars to have them because they're cool, or to fix them up and eventually re-sell them?

DCW242

Thanks @Ben

@240 this is a different one, it lived in Brunswick it's whole life until I got it, it use to belong to a volvo club member in vic.

I plan to keep most of the cars, a few will be for sale eventually. Ideally I'll get them onto club rego, but it will take a long time to get them all back on the road.

I drove the 262 here as well, it hasn't been driven in almost a year but it went well.

Look forward to following your progress and hope all goes well with the business.

Great workshop space!
It'd be great to have a small space on the mezzanine for a bedroom and lounge, etc.

I had thought about that but ended up finding a suitable house, lounge is a tempting idea though.
