In the next few years, I'll be moving to a bigger house with a garage. Room to take on a REAL project. At the moment, these are the two vehicles I'm most interested in. My wife is a big fan of both, and I thought it would be cool for us to have a project we could do together.
For either vehicle, I'd want to do a full cosmetic restoration, and probably swap the engine for something more potent (the original engine may see a rebuild while its out, so the car can be put back to fully restored stock condition eventually.)
I've owned a Volvo before, albeit a more luxurious 940. I loved it. The build quality was superb. For the 240, I'd be cool with either a sedan or a wagon (or a coupe, if I could find one.) My wife's first car was a blue sedan, so that would likely be what we would look for.
I've never owned a Jeep of any kind, and I've never even been inside a Grand Wagoneer. I've seen them popping up all over the place, though. They're very popular for restoration, and fetch a nice price when they're done well. I see them in movies CONSTANTLY, often as "beaters", though always in pristine condition.
It's just what's been on my mind, so I thought I'd post about it. Comments are welcome. Especially if you've had experience with either vehicle!
