- Removing the interior and checking for rust and water ingress on the wagon (245) I also check some of the signature rust spots underneath the car.

Love you channel. I was gifted a mint 86 240 wagon 4 speed... I found your channel and love your affinity for these old vehicles. They have so much charm
Oh wow congrats, they are great aren't they! Thanks!
Really very little rust for her age and that water looks very recent too. Definitely got a good one there! She looks like a Florence to me lol
Thanks, I'm really stoked! Florence I like it 😄
"Free stinky sock" sounds like you have a new team mascot to replace the mattress 🤣
🤣 Brilliant
Well better some rust and water than a spider infestation like the other one :D 1,000 in the next week my brother
This one is full of spiders too 😩 And thanks bro I can't wait!
Glad you caught it before it's too bad! I absolutely hate rust and water leaks are the worst!
Here's to hoping you find some more money to help fund it's repairs!
Oh man tell me about it, I have water inside the 244 intermittently too it's a worry!
I just did this for a second time on my 245. Milwaukee just made these very small flexible hoses (Milwaukee air tip...used on their small m18 vacuum) for a vacuum cleaner that range from 1/4" to 1/2' in diameter and are about 1-3 feet in length. Cleaning the the rocker drain was so much better with these attachments. I don't have and air compressor and was able to put the hose on the exhaust of the vacuum cleaner and keep blowing more leaves out of the rocker are to a place where they could be vacuumed up. A spray bottle with soapy water was good to spray from the cowls to see the progress as well and I was able to use some twisted up metal wire to stick up the drain holes as well. Thanks for all the great videos and keeping the 240s alive. I have had mine for 10 years and won't give up. I sprayed pb blaster surface shield on all the spots you mentioned in your other video on rust. Cheers.
Wet, yes, but not too bad!
Cherry bomb! Haha looks like a solid ride. Good on you for filming the process. I'm watching this taking a break from tinting my 245glt and can't imagine doing the job a carrying round a camera with me the whole time!
Nice! I think to do that I'd have to fit a cherry bomb exhaust, which isn't a bad idea! Filming is definitely hard work, it makes the jobs take 4-5x longer 😂
The fun game of hunt the leak!!! Looks like you caught it early enough. Would be great to see a little bit of the dull paint buffed up to see how it comes up. Looking forward to seeing you tackle Sids roof job :-)
I thought about that but then I also thought about the, will it? Won't it? Suspense 😂 Gonna tackle it soon though as I'm just too excited to wait, just trying to get hold of some T-cut too.
Oh yeah I'm going to be well out of my depth and exhausted after day 1!
Nice car. I'd suggest to call it "Falu", after the famous colour the Swedes put on their wooden houses. She's not made out of wood obviously and the original colour was much brighter, but now it reminds me of this particular shade of red. BTW, I'm a huge fan of your channel. Keep up the good work. I learn something new for my own 240 every time.
Cheers
That's really nice! Definitely a consideration if I can get it red again 😃 And thanks I'm really glad you find it helpful!
Ha! Mine 240 was actually repainted at some point with falu red but only on the outside! :D.
I just got done doing this to my 740 estate...mine is from a climate that doesn't get snow which is good...but my blue 89 740 sedan has rust that needs repaired...I still got to head down and pick up my 760 sedan from out of State 4 and a half hour drive but well worth it!...that's a clean car from what I seen...but there's a good coating you can use after you clean up the rust that we use here in the States called POR 15...check it out!
They are definitely worth it! And thanks for the recommendation, it seems very popular, I currently use Fluid Film and I'm really happy with it so far
@@Involvod fluid film is great stuff...they sell that stuff at my local auto parts store!...you can even get it in a spray can!
Great video! Thanks for showing all the spots! I still need to check mine interior. I'm happy I managed to sort the brakes out and pass the MOT! :D. Uhh. What a relief! Next are torque rod bushings :)
Thanks! One big part I didn't show is behind the rear bumper, but that's coming up soon. And nice work man that's great news! Are you going stock or Poly for the torque rods?
@@Involvod Oh yes! The rear bumper area was repaired but kinda sloppy. And I had to fix for now the rear butt cheeks and fenders. I will get a welding machine and learn welding... but that's for next year ;). Now I just want to enjoy the ride! :). I'm going for stock bushings. Def. gonna try the car press trick! :)
@@marcinbujok7388 good idea! I would love to do the same. The stock bushings are much harder to get in and it needs to go in totally straight, not on an angle, that's why I went with PU so I could do it myself, well, the car still had to do it for me 😂
@@Involvod Right. The instalation might get hard. I have seen people using long bolts and some sockets both to remove and install bushings. But rust makes the removal realy hard I guess.
Name? Pippi of course. Red hair, Red paint. Swedish girl, Swedish car. Old and full of holes, Nice solid car.
I really like that, problem is here Pippi is to pee 🙄 So I'll have to go with the full Pippi Långstrump, I just need to be able to say it right first, I don't want to butcher Swedish language like I butcher the automobiles 😅
Considering, the 240 wagon all rusted, that you got rid of, this wagon looks good, of course it is going to have some work done, but structurally it is better than the 240 wagon you had that was full of rust good luck👍👍👍👍☝️☝️☝️☝️👌👌👌👌
Thanks! I think it was a good choice, I paid a lot more for the other wagon for much less car 😂
@@Involvod I want to see this wagon all fixed up👍👍👍👍☝️☝️☝️👌👌👌this is an easier fix than the other wagon
She looks like a Ruby to me for the name Buddy good Sledge (will) hunting
Very nice! Thanks mate
I appreciate your content.
Thankyou!
Bloody hell that is really clean. Lucky you caught that before it did any damage. Rest you can clean up super easy. How about calling it Marti.. .. As in Marti Pellow.... As in lead singer of wet wet wet....I'll see myself out.
The pink Volva, .... Hold the door open for me mate.
😂 thanks bud its exactly the kind of car I needed, hopefully I can keep it oiled up and protected so I have at least one car I don't need to book in at Whiteland Restorations 😃
Call it Doris after my Nan,she was from Aston :-)
I like it! Miss Involvo'd's Nan is called Döris too so it could be a winner! And my family is from Aston originally 👍
@@Involvod all my Brum family were Villa fan's, season ticket holders.
Some dude on a roof sent me here. Subscribed.
He's a good one! Thanks for the sub ✊
Windscreen rubbers door seals usual culprits ....to find an old volvo without rusted out floors is unbelievable.
I know right! I need to double check the door rubbers actually that was a basic thing I overlooked, I'm quite good at that
Hey brother, just checking out some old videos, she looks pretty solid u can grind out that surface rust !
Hey, yeah this one is super clean for a 240!
Muy Buenos tus videos acabo de comprar una hermosa vulva 245 de 1982 y por lo que veo esta en muy buenas condiciones .necesito pocas cosas para poder pasar la revisión mecánica. Gracias por enseñar tantas cosas buenas de esta belleza de wagoner
That car is starting to pay for itself if you keep on finding coins! :D
Haha I'm sure there's more!!
My car had water in the same places however mine had sat a lot longer and started to rust out the floor! I did the same thing you did by pouring water into the engine bay until I figured out where it was coming from and siliconed it up. Still trying to keep it out of the rain just incase.
Sorry to hear that, I'm glad you managed to save it in time. These things seem to leak from so many places and without pulling up the foam regularly you wouldn't know, so I think a no rain policy is probably best, I would do the same!
You siliconed up a rust spot right? Or was there previously some special body adhesive there that went bad? My mechanic was telling me that cars use adhesive to seal up some gaps, and the water leaks can come from where it is too old and has failed.
(I don't have this problem but just curious)
@@zzoinks Driver side was body adhesive that went bad. Passenger side was a hole in the firewall for some wires that was missing a grommet.
What is it with you and attracting wasps on a job, haha. Keep up the good work mate, dying to see this old beauty fixed up. Consider the 2 euro a rebate offer on your purchase price.
Ha yeah if it's not wasps it's spiders, can't catch a break 😄
My Volvo is leaking in the same exact spot. I thought it was my wiper motor letting water through, I never thought to check those areas too
They are a pain! I hope you manage to find the source!
Did I just see some rodent damage on your wiring loom up near the bonnet pull? See 8:17 mark on the vid.
Thanks so much for spotting that! I can't tell watching it on my phone and I'm away but as soon as I get back I'm gonna have a closer look at it
mine was way worse. rusted straight through on many spots. But the engine, transmission, technical an electrical is in mint condition. past owner bought it new and cared for it till he passed away, then it was left for 6 years before I got it
One owner from new is always nice, good on you for saving it!
Thanks! Unfortunatly It was registered on my dad due to insurance, so it technically has 2 past owners on paper
You think it may have been left open to the latest wet elements before delivery ?
I thought about that but no he had it all closed up, carpets were bone dry too, seems like a leak from somewhere 😏
1k subs is coming!!! Any plan to get a 740?
Thanks! Exciting stuff. I really want to get a 740 especially as that's what almost everybody wants to see, as soon as I find a good deal I'm going to jump on it!
This car is like basically matte, can that be buffed to a shine?
I hope so! Stay tuned to find out 😉
Would like gloass head lights how much
What about Merkel
Haha brilliant, very appropriate! Ol' Mutti Merkel
Why is there holes there in the floor. Make no sense..
Ld weld those hole shut.
My 240 is a 1990

Nice wagon! Few jobs to do but she's got potential! Subbed
I'm enjoying watching you go through this 245. My first car was a 1970 145S ( flic.kr/p/2keh4ad ) and since then I've had 3 240's until I took a break and had a Nissan Pathfinder. Funny enough I once again have a well worn 1970 142S as a daily driver. ( flic.kr/p/2jYUxd5 ). €799 eh? Sounds pretty good for something that basically needs brakes to be driveable. Do you have to go through an inspection for roadworthiness?
Brilliant! Very beautiful car. I can't remember the last time I saw one around. Mine does need an inspection, they can be quite strict, so as soon as it's stopping I'll get it booked in. Glad you're enjoying the content!
Thanks for the pictures too!
@@Involvod Thanks! The 140 series here (California) is quite rare too. I've had this one for a little over 2.5 years and have yet to see another 140. I see the occasional P1800ES around but no 122 or the tail end of the PV544. Even the 240 series is getting unusual to see.
@@mathuetax it's a shame, we need to not make the mistake of selling these 😅
@@Involvod Indeed, my 142S is going to need something catastrophic to happen for me to give it up.
I'm trying to recall the last time I saw a 164, it easily has to be 30 years. They were not common to begin with where I grew up in Minnesota. I'd love to have the money to make the never made 165, get that B30 up close to 200hp, a decent set of anti-sway bars and a set of Virgo wheels. It'd be fun.
