Definitely learn welding.
Also if you really want a volvo, no autotragics, they suck shit. Bobe five, so a 5 speed box with no button overdrive is the way to go.
Also spend the extra for a turbo model, factory petrol turbo, NA models are all dogshit slow.
Avoid DOHC models, they're kinda shit and fragile.
Turbodiesels are ehh okay, they crack valve seats, but otherwise are manageable if manual. Again avoid autos.
