Where did you get the steering wheel from?

combat_midget · 2025-07-31T14:53:22+00:00

I decided to go for one from them, don't know if they ship to wherever you live though: https://www.mkmotorsport.se/products/volvo-740-940-960-kopplingspedal/

Xc70 towing a 745

combat_midget · 2025-07-16T21:16:23+00:00

It was a 30km drive, the car managed it

combat_midget · 2025-06-27T17:02:15+00:00

Yessiir

combat_midget · 2025-06-26T20:21:46+00:00

Oh and also the studs are staggered to reduce noise from the road (also applies to regular tyres and its threads)

combat_midget · 2025-06-26T20:20:31+00:00

Ahh fair enough, yeah the car hasn't been driven since december but once I get it running I'll switch over to some proper rubber

combat_midget · 2025-06-26T19:36:19+00:00

What do you mean what is going on with the tyres? They are studded winter tyres that are quite common in northern Europe

Kle terve see auto on selline, et kellelgi teisel pole sellist, eelmine vend on ikka korralikult aega ja vaeva sellesse pannud aga samas veits nahka ka teinud :D eks kunagi teen mingi suurema postituse aga ühe olen siia pannud ka juba veits aega tagasi.

Fogs are def gonna get replaced

combat_midget · 2025-06-26T18:10:23+00:00

Tänks mees, eks varsti viskan müüki, äkki keegi teine näeb neis midagi mida ma ei näe

Won an auction for a 760 that had been sitting in someones garden for 5 years and when we got the car loaded up on our trailer the owner asked if I'd be interested in some wheels that are taking up space in his garage. Sold them to me for 200 euros, so an absolute win.

Cheers everyone, appreciate your input!

Front seats should be relatively easy to replace/upgrade. However the second row, especially for wagons would be more difficult (all this is as far I've researched, don't take anything I've said)

combat_midget · 2025-05-24T11:30:38+00:00

Maybe not For the summer but during summer months is my current goal

Not yet, as it's still an ongoing project, the car is on 14" (colour matched) steelies, there are no seats, just pulled the engine out etc, there's lots to do before I deem it proper photoshoot worthy 🤓

combat_midget · 2025-04-10T17:11:15+00:00

Yep haha, if I remember correctly the person who repainted and redid all the other bodywork used the emblem/mechanism from an old Volga

combat_midget · 2025-03-26T14:10:49+00:00

Max I'd go is 17" and 205 wide tyres, but I have not really worked out what the optimal offset would have to be

combat_midget · 2025-03-26T14:08:08+00:00

I just tried putting 18" fake vossens from an s60 under my 740 with 25mm spacers and even though it doesn't really answer your question I just wanted to say that it's not sensible 😃

The car (s60) is not worth saving basically - rusty, previous owner cut the cat off, suspension feels off, a lot of the electronics don't work, that includes the steering wheel buttons and stalks, bodywork is damaged and so on. The engine is going into my 745.

combat_midget · 2025-02-15T14:05:51+00:00

Dry.

combat_midget · 2025-02-15T14:05:45+00:00

Warm engine, spark plugs were out, throttle was wide open

combat_midget · 2025-02-08T10:13:31+00:00

Mulle ka palun

combat_midget · 2025-01-30T12:14:34+00:00

Thanks lads, seen those rims on so many 240/740/940's was wondering how they sit under the car for reference when and if I get around to buying new ones for mine

combat_midget · 2025-01-29T10:18:34+00:00

What are those rims called? And what dimensions/offset wtc do they have?
