First Wash In 15 Years: Free ABANDONED 1991 Volvo 240 Wagon Disaster Detail!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 авг 2022
- This is a 1991 Volvo 240 Wagon that was left in the woods for over 15 years in Doylestown PA. My friend Matt contacted me to help save the abandoned 240 wagon before it gets scrapped. I travel to the residence where the Volvo has sat and we pull it out of the woods for a detail. The 240 is covered in dirt, mold, leaves, spiderwebs, and rodent droppings. An absolute bio-hazard of a wagon... Thankfully, Matt and his buddy Craig are weekend detailers so this crazy project seems a little more manageable. Harrison and Jake from Rebuild Rescue also arrive to lend a hand on getting the Volvo cleaned up. During the challenging but satisfying detail, we work on the 240's engine with Volvo enthusiast and shop owner Pete. He becomes interested in the 240 and kindly makes a donation to an equestrian program that helps one of Matt's children. Big thank you to Matt, Harrison, Jake, Pete, Craig, and Rod for their help with the Volvo project. Enjoy the fun detail and awesome work that went into getting the 240 on the racetrack soon. - L

What an honor for us to be part of this! After going through the car, we found it needs struts/shocks/calipers/tires/brake lines/2 fuel pumps and some major rust repair in the rocker panels....and basically a whole new interior. (Hence the low 1200 offer) It actually took a quick removal/installation of the transmission for replacement of the broken crank sensor bracket. Our plans are to convert it to a street-able track car using the engine/suspension/brake system from our ex-racecar...We're also considering an electric conversion! Either way, this car will be made amazing again by our team!
Pete, you are amazing! Can't wait to do more with you! Thank you friend.
Looking forward to seeing your plans.
Worth looking around for other seats while you are at it with the interior stuff.
Think Volvo 850 seats are among the last that has the similar brackets so they'll bolt up pretty well too the original ones while being slightly wider but very comfortable still.
Unless you are going with like race seats in this, rollcage & then basically run a stripped out interior.
Otherwise like welding up brackets too fit in seats from say a Volvo S60 or similar early 2000's cars would be a nice upgrade too it.
Absolutely go for comfort over performance seats imo, unless you need seats too hold you in place for doing like drifting or track days.
But can it participate in the Volvo Ballet? 😬
Pete is so handsome. 😍
I love wagons!
Me to
Your the top comment
Wagons are cooler than most sports cars
Detailing for charity is awesome. Kudos to Larry and friends for making it happen.
Never thought I'd ever see wagons making such a comeback! Im out in a small country town in Canada and theres a few young guys with restored wagons, a Caprice station wagon and a volvo just like this one. Huge respect for people restoring cars, especially the ones no one ever thought were worth keeping at the time.
As a swede that grew up in a 245 and later a 945, this was beautiful to see. These cars are literally just cars, nothing fancy and the drive train is one of the most bulletproof cars on the planet. I recommend that anyone looking for a older volvo scoop them up now before they either get to expensive or just aren't around anymore. 740 turbos and 16 valves are creeping up in the 6000-10 000$ range now and it's just stupid.
But you can still find street worthy cars for 1500£
In Sweden they're dirt cheap though
@@mr.rosenberg9047 nah man they starting to get expensive. 240 and 740 in good condition is atleast 50 000 kronor
Precis samma sak som jag, Those Volvos still rock!
Biltemakorv
As a Volvo enthusiast and a wagon lover this is my favourite video of yours in the past few years👏Great work with the charity work. Would've been a happy ending if it wasn't going to be a race car
Definitely! The 240 equaled unprecedented durability, the looks. Volvo also made a statement and reputation with it.
What bothers me in the video is that no emphasis is placed on a garage and the storage of vehicles.
A lot of misery can and could be avoided with a garage or shed.
The touch up is ok but only temporary.
@@laurapalmerTDGE If I had a car like this infront of my house growing up, I would've probably dreamed of getting my licence to "drive and protect" it everyday 😄
I drive old lovable cars too, and I dont mind seeing a nice one of the type I drive get converted. All those parts can be bought for a low price if you aren't too slow, and suddenly you have spare interior parts for days
@@jackthatmonkey8994 - And the mechanical aspect isn't too complex either. Much can be done yourself.
Pete, Joe, and Johnny at The Fix are top notch mechanics and awesome dudes! Cool to see this collab!
Lived in Doylestown for two years! The place is beautiful!!!!!! Pretty awesome you visited one of my favorite little towns in the USA
As a swedish Volvo lover, this is satisfying to see. People taking care of the cars and all the detailing is amazing! I hope we get to see the 850 R in an Episode soon. Thanks a bunch for the video Larry!
Same! This video was so sweet to watch, but Im really looking forward to seeing that 850R all shiny!!
My father's last car was the fourth Volvo he had, a brown 244 in 1979, so it's always been a special car for me. Nice to see them and very difficult to find a decent one in the UK these days.
Them old volvos Very popular here in ireland
In sweden all these things eventually ended up being owned by 16 year old kids who cut the suspension (making it drag on the ground) and threw the steering wheel away and put on a "racing wheel" - it hurts to see... i'm very pleased the rare times i see an original owner drive around in his pristine volvo though... but it's very uncommon
@@terencejay8845 That was my FIRST car 🤓 A (latte) brown 244 dl 1980 with the square headlights and 4 speed tranny. I used it as my daily driver for years and a lot of gravel and snow drifting 👌😎 The first week a woman in a Ford escort crashed in to me head on and got her whole front smacked up, the fender wrinkled with the bumper and crushed headlight hanging out. Not a scratch on the Volvo 🤣😂🤣👌 It was a tank. I plowed through snow barriers for fun and once pulled out a tow truck on a field with it. In the Libanese war they actually hid behind these because of the thick steel and they called them "Tanks".
THANK GOD YOU TOOK OUT THE CARPET, that was the first step of professionalism I’ve seen in detailing an old Volvo 240, people extract the carpet and it makes the floor wet and it gets rusty or rotten!
I am a simple man.
I see Larry doing a video of an Volvo 240 I press like.
Larry thanks to you and your friends for saving the 240, and paying it forward!! My first Volvo was a 1991 240, and I’ve been owning Volvos ever since!!!!
Hey Larry my name is Brad and I started my own detailing business at the age of 15 I just wanted to say you inspired me to start my own business and I hope life is awesome for you
Nothing but respect for starting your business at 15, I hope Larry sees this, this made my day!
That’s pretty cool
The 240 Volvo is one of the most simple yet beautiful cars out there.
So thank you for bringing this beauty back to life.
This model was my very first car, absolutely love the older Volvos
Great work on bringing this old 245 back from the threat of extinction. Looks like it landed in the right hands. Also, definitely come back for the 850R. Beyond removing the oxidation and restoring the shine, you may want to add it to your personal car collection. These are really fun cars to drive and the sound the turbocharged 5-cylinder engine makes with a proper exhaust is fantastic. Even better when you can convert the auto transmission to a 5-speed manual.
The 2.3 liters are deep with one of the mufflers cut off. They sound awesome, but even more so, the old red bricks, apparently they can get to 800hp. I've had 4, did minor things to them, I miss my last one, but boy are they sleepers.
I love to see an old RWD brick saved from the crusher. Nice work.
Saving an old Volvo and getting people to interact with horses makes a great video in my world
I love those old Volvo's . They put safety first, ahead of their time. Plus they are tanks. As a kid, my neighbor loved them and restored 2 sedans. Again a suprisingly heart warming video from your channel, with donation to needed charity! Great to see! Thanks for sharing bro!
Larry is the detailing GOAT been watching this channel for years, never a disappointment from this channel !
Ìì
Harrison is the GOAT of this video, though, fighting through his injury! Great work everybody.
I hope you're doing that 850R in a future video! Love those!
Those 240's sell for a LOT of money in the Netherlands. They're icons of a trustworthy car. A buddy of mine has one in red, polar edition. Lovely car. I own a 340 DLS with the B19A redblock engine. Whenever a redblock starts up, I recognize it immediatly. Such a familiar sound.
Absolutely love this video! So cool to see the transformation! I always look forward to watching these videos each week! Keep up the amazing work Larry!
I'd love to see that 850R in a episode soon. It will look amazing.
Forgotten in the woods, didn't look like much of a vehicle... but, after the clean up, oh boy!!!! 😃 What a difference!
Larry, your videos always get us right in the feels and are fantastic to watch. Thank you again for being a great person & all of those around you :)
Love the work you guys do! Great work, great people, and tools. And seeing these old cars brought back to life is just so positive, love it.
We need to see that 850 R in a later video!
You have to bring us an episode of the 850!
What an awesome video! Can’t get any better than an old Volvo wagon, a thorough detail, Ammo NYC and a donation to a good cause!
As a small-scale rancher, I’m so glad to see the donation that was made to Ivy Hill. What a great organization!
You never fail to amaze, Larry.
Top job. I'm looking forward to the detail of that 850R!
“I think I know a guy who might want it - that guy might be me”
That’s how you know you’re talking to a true Volvo enthusiast. Never can have to many lmao. Great video as always, and especially good given the Swedish aspect ;)
like my old boss said sell one buy two
When my dad was young he worked in the volvo-factory in Gothenburg around the time these were made. He was in charge of installing the mats. I was a kid back then, but I remember he told me that sometimes they hid their names or other stuff inside those hiddens spots under the carpets.
Nice work as always! I am glad I am not the only one that loves watching old cars get cleaned.
Please save the 850R!! That thing will look great!!
After my initial comment I got to the end with the 850 - as an owner of a S70 T5 (same chassis, different name) I am REALLY excited for that. That’s gonna be awesome
Wow...That was one of the more impressive transformations ever! It's still rough around the edges, but what a result! Thanks, guys! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Lovely video, hope you do one on the 850R too
Those 850 R’s are superb
Having had several 240s in my family growing up and owning some and many other volvos this episode was amazing!
Get that 850R some love aswell
Living in sweden and seeing these cars everyday its great to see them over the other side of the pond !
Havent felt this good about a youtube video. Thanks to binging ammo and his meticoulous detail shots and information. What a guy
HUGE thank you to Larry for putting one of our new songs called, "Ammo" in the video. We honor you sir.
❤️ Love Two Rocks Rye! I am excited for their next album release!! Check them out on Spotify ❤️
@@jennifermarin7585 We love you.
Super catchy song! We need more Two Rocks Rye×Ammo collabs!
I think you mean “You honor US”?
Very nice! Rod and Pete are great guys! I've personally attempted to help relocate this Volvo before for Rod - but seemingly no-body ever actually came through. It's great to see it getting another go at life, especially with another friend in the business who's going to race it! I may have to get myself a SAAB on the track to compete against Pete one of these days! Good job to all those involved.
My Swedish heart is smiling ❤️ Even though i see multiple Volvo Duetts, Volvo Amazons, Volvo 142s and etc on the streets in absolutely perfect conditions here in my county, Sweden..
This is a pure treasure 🤟
THIS IS YOUR BEST VIDEO YET! Definitely by by far!
The car turned out great! I like how you caught a mouse on film at 6:21 at the very moment it thought "Oh shoot, Its Larry! How did he find us out here in the woods?".
😆
He even says in the moment, I caught on off camera while he is filming one 😅
Ha! I saw it too and just left a comment too 😅
Looking forward to the 850R detail. That thing is beautiful!
You all have a lot of courage to do this thorough preservation effort. Congratulations from a fan ...from Europe!!!
Great work. You all did such an awesome job 👏. I love these wagons and older Volvo in general. So glad that it got a new home. Keep up the great episodes.
Made my morning Larry. Just love seeing people come together too accomplish something. Keep it up. There is no limit to what our heart can accomplish with friends. That's life!! Love it...
Larry, love your "rescue" videos like this. The transformations, adherence to logical methods and processes used is second to none.
One of the things I like to do is to blow off all loose debris including the engine compartment prior to pressure washing. Makes quick work of removing leaves, branches, acorns etc.
Stunning work, my friend. Keep em coming!
As a Swede who has worked with tons of different Volvo's I can say that I'm really happy about this!
Hello Gents, your video woke dusty memories of my dear old 240. It drove like an English stately home on wheels and had a weird, peaceful presence. Aside from rusting like an old horse-shoe (Brit weather...) it served me well and I miss it even today. Hats off also for supporting your charity involving cerebral palsy etc, which needs a whole lot more public understanding than it currently gets. Respect. Cheers from Yurp, best wishes, John.
Awesome car to receive your great work! I am a Volvo enthusiast and currently have a 1986 240DL… simple yet beautiful cars.
Being a Volvo nerd from sweden and having owned several different models, this video brought me so much joy! Great work as always Larry!
Hej
Absolutely superb. Love your work and love the fact that you always care for everyone in your videos.
What an amazing job on that old filthy Volvo, I trust Matt to detail all my vehicles, nice touch sneaking the two rocks rye song in there.
Matt has a nice touch with detailing. He's also a helluva good singer.
Amazing video! Love to see you guys bringing life back to cool cars and making a difference in the process! Always looking forward to AMMO Friday uploads!
Great episode, my parents had this Volvo in the 90s, love seeing forgotten about cars restored and started!
I had a customer years ago that had one of these. It was a 1975. That car was a TANK. He has a 1993 model like this and a 1998 V90. These cars actually trace their roots back to 1966 even though 1974 was the first 240. Great video!
That footage as the camera goes over the freshly polished car was absolutely amazing. The transformation was epic guys, really great job...
I worked my last day at Volvo in Gothenburg, Sweden today. I approve this detailing video :D
I am loving this series! Thanks for the hard work
I used to be a storeman for a, Volvo dealership in the North of Scotland - fantastic cars, so solid. Beautiful to see this beast given some love. Brilliant video 👍🇬🇧
The fix is awesome! Pete is a great guy!
Not gonna lie, that is one amazing transformation on that Volvo!
As always, your detailing videos always have a feel good vibes in it.^^
Kudos to everyone involved! Great vid
These cars deserves love🥰 what a beautiful oldie
Honestly I love the charity you supported as someone who understands horses
There's something about those older Volvos. You guys did an amazing job with that old 240.
Waiting room with an Atari? I’m sold.. 😊 Great episode.
Volvo 240s never die! I have two ‘84 coupes , love them! Glad to see Ammo giving some love for the 240s!
My neighbors had this same wagon when I was a kid. I loved going on trips around town with them and sitting in the rear facing seat!
I watch all your videos. This was one of the best. What a group of super people!
I hope you're doing that 850 in a future video! Love those!
Expat 🇬🇧 lives in Colombia 🇨🇴 just bought an 1982 245 all original..$2000 love it ..great video lads 👍🇬🇧
Nice one
19:50 man that engine start sound! what a beast!
You are a good man, Larry. I am sure that your friend Matt truly appreciates your work and Pete's donation to Ivy Hill Equestrian Center.
He is a good man. I'm going to continue to remind him of that.
Awesome video Larry! I love your amazing content. You inspired me to do detailing and now I have a pressure washer and a foam cannon myself.
Beautiful wagon, I love these Volvo a lot, it is amazing that old Volvo can still run.
Awesome video, awesome charity. We need more like this Larry.
Please do a video on the 850R!! I have a 95 T-5R and I would love to see that video! Such a good job saving this 240 as well! Great job sir(s)
My dad has a 96 850R wagon!!!
Love your work, and love Volvos. Yeah... that 850R back there, awesome!
I'm from the UK so obviously I'm not familiar with that charity but it sounds like a fantastic charity it's just wonderful to see and hear something good and positive in this day and age great work guys really nice to see decent people doing good things 👍🏻🙏❤
I have a 1991 Volvo 240 wagon that I saved about five years ago. New motor with a VX camshaft and adjustable timing gear, Tremec T5 transmission swap, lowering kit, upper and lower chassis braces and I have some other things I want to get installed. These are classic cars that are well loved around the world!!!! Glad to see this one (with third row seats!!!)not going to the junkyard.
Love the song from Two Rocks Rye - how perfect!
Thank you Maris! We love you too!
Great job for a great cause!
Brabus S600 👀 looking forward to that!
Such a great place to donate to!
Damn! That paint reflected the trees and the surrounding so well, love it!
Amazing job as always! I can’t wait to see what you do with that 850R… that is one of my favorite cars ever
Please go back and save that 850R, its so deserving!
Awesome work as allways AMMO! As a Volvo 850/740 owner and lover! I would love to see the Volvo 850R Detail! Keep it up!
I used to be a Volvo guy and always dreamt of restomoding a 245 with a LS V8 or Volvo straight six turbo engine from the XC90 etc as a daily driver. This video reminds me that I better do it before they all vanish. Great job as always Larry and team.
What a great transformation! Lovin' that TWO ROCKS RYE tune, y'all should check that band out.
Talk about a transformation! You’ve done it again Larry, anyone else would have cast this car aside and thought it was toast. Looks great
My dad had a 240GL here in australia when i was a child. He was so proud of that and took such good care of it. I really enjoyed watching this video. Brings back memories of my time i spent with my father in the old girl and makes me really miss my dad who passed away a few years ago.
That 850R is one of my F'ing Dream Cars. I'm so jealous. What a rare gem
Great car, absolutely love it!
Would love to see you come back to detail that 850R! Have an 850 that I've owned for ten years and would love to see you give that one another chance. I know that single stage paint cleans up really well and there's a lot of it there to work with generally.
