1987 740 Turbo Intercooler 'Restoration' Project

Post by MisterWorthy »

In 2004, I received this Volvo with a little more than 60K miles and it's been sitting in the garage since then, with it only being drive a few times in the city. The engine is still in great condition, and I have plans to make quite a few enhancements to the car. I'm going to take it to the shop, but I don't know where to start in regards to the kind of repairs I need to get it running again.

Does anyone have any insight about the kind of repairs and replacement parts necessary to at least get it running again? I know we'll need new brakes and tires,but I want to start gauging how much everything else will cost and compare quotes between different shops to get the most reasonable price.

I'll post pictures if this evokes a response.
