The first order has arrived

After much waiting, today I finally received the order I had placed for the drivers side floor pans and sill panels.  Since mine are practically nonexistent due to the water infiltration in my car, they should be a good starting point for the bodywork.

The panels seem to be decent quality at first glance, though its obvious they will require some work.  I haven't trial fitted any of this stuff yet, so my opinion may change.  The floor pans like like decent stampings.  The sill inner piece looks to be an original OEM Volvo piece.  The middle and outer sill pieces look to be hand formed.  Right now I think they'll work fine, but they'll need some work on the seams and on some low spots created when they were shaped.

Its already November, so I'm not sure if I'll really get a chance to work on these in the near future.  Cold weather is quickly approaching and I don't have a heated garage.  Guess we'll find out.
