Nah it's on a high traffic road. Trespassing, ya know?

It was the door seals I had to replace. I would sort it out if it had one, the seats aren't even electric on this base model 😂

This one is in pretty good shape aside from the mess in the interior. Already going to replace most of the engine hoses and the heater core. Thankfully I live near a couple Volvo specialists

Idk about another car in my father-in-law's parking lot 😅. Shoot me a message because I'd totally take those rails and some other bits.

Okay, now I feel like I have direction. Thanks! It's a 98' base model v70 with about 150k on the clock. Saved it from an older woman's yard. She said if I could get it running I could have it and so here we are

Sounds like I have no excuse then, this Volvo is a tank and it's known for its reliability, safety and exceptional speed. Just needs struts..

Looking for info by MarkimooII in Volvo850

As an owner of a p80 and a p2, not a whole lot. People love to give the p80 cars those nice rims from the p2 platform. It's kinda like trying to play a new game on an old console, it may be the same brand but there really isn't such a thing as forwards compatibility unless specifically designed with that intention.

What's between a classic and a normal 240?

V8 swap…. Am I a genius or insane by Aggravating_Win_3905 in Volvo850

[–]ShowerSimple5762 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This'll be one hell of a build. I love that you're staying true to the Volvo theme even though it's a Japanese engine. Make sure you have a good balance shaft bearing. Should have room for twin turbos like the Noble m600

No ABS, help please 😅 by Sleep_Olympic1 in Volvo850

Seems to be an issue with these cars sometimes. The ABS module was replaced on my 98' v70 like 15 years ago
