- My $1500 Volvo V70R's paint has always been one of its biggest flaws so today I'm fixing the bumper and fender for $200 to transform the look of the car.

A slow (normal) talking, chill dude is such a breath of fresh air in these tiktok adhd times
100% feel this.
fr man, everyone my generation hypes the shit out of everything for maximum clout, not this dude.
@@i_woke_up_in_a_new_buggati he knows he doesnt have to. He’s got a V70R, thats all the hype we need
@@nokbeen3654duude, yeah
Yeah this dude is an inspiration, his choice of music is also very good, and it all comes together so nicely. Makes me want to start a video series on my project car.
Solid temporary fix. But you gotta get that R model bumper fixed. Worth some money!
I love that this series is so down to earth and nonflashy. It shows that you can have a lot of fun with cars without being a millionaire. Great video 🥰
Super smart, efficient, and likable, guy. I am working on my 2004 v70r, which is a great car but also has most of the mechanical issues he's been dealing with. I really appreciate this series and have learned a lot. Thanks
That's a standard S60 facelift bumper. The V70 and S60 had completely different designs. Decent temporary fix, but get that R-bumper fixed. They can cost as much as $600 in that bad condition even here in Sweden.
A new bumper is $900-$1000, paint is another $300-$400. Maybe down the road I’ll do it but that’s an absurd amount of money.
@@wheelemverb reasonable to fix the more important things first. Just spent about $750 on a facelift bumper with addons and a paint job for my -04 T5. Nice to see more people having fun with old Volvo's 🙌
Would'nt call V70s old, haha@@3ollen
I agree. I'd at least strip the paint back to see what repairs were made before thinking a new bumper was needed. That's just me though.
i have built my own bumper and i can say that it has given me a lot of experiance and i can say that it is worth it to strip the paint and try to fix the bumper he has got, just stip the paint maybe some fiberglass and plastic weld the cracks on with bondo and sand it down
Dude, this is so perfect. V70R (one of my all time favorites), relaxed edits, no bullshit, beginner mistakes and a manual swap in the future. Thank you for this!
Thank you for showing your mistakes. It happens to us all but I feel like there's a bit of a push to show perfect results online and that just doesn't happen in the real world very often. Love the content and keep up the great work!
I like the lip of the t5 bumper! Also at 16:14 that is a e34 5 series not a 3 series haha 😅
Thank you I came here to say just that 😂
you are correct sir
The quality of your videos is fantastic. A buddy of mine put me on this Volvo V70R series as we both love the V70 and now V60 series. I have a 1993 Saab 900 Commemorative Edition that I'll be putting some similar, much much needed work into over the next few years and watching this series just makes me want to get a move on even faster. Cheers for giving a beautiful wagon more life.
New bumper has great style for short money, I call it a win. Tough to beat a solid junkyard find! Now you can make it more your own and add a splitter or something without worrying about damaging an R bumper. David Freiburger from Roadkill says it best, "Don't get it right, just get it running!" 👍
Right on
When you mentioned changing the wheels I was thinking “nooooo!” - The wheels it’s on now are PERFECT I think… Oem+ is definitely best! Can’t wait for the manual swap - Your channel is one of the only ones I look forward to now, they videos are so chilled, the car is great as is the editing… keep up the good work 👍🏼
I literally hang off RUclips waiting for the blue circle from this channel love these videos
Got a v70r a few months back and your sessions are inspiring me to try and sort some of her problems myself, keep it up mate - great job
Now I now why you named the channel Wheelem: It´s abot the endless wheel story for the V70R. Love the channel and the V70. Go on!
I never thought someone would make me watch a video about cars, but I'm glad it happened and I'm happy to be able to watch your journey with your project. Good luck! 🇧🇷
Love the Volvo V70 R series! Can't wait for the manual swap! :)
Youre videos have become such a treat for me throughout the week. I want to be a chill Volvo guy now too.
honestly one of the better youtube builders i've seen in a while, but i did get a good laugh at the BMW when you states "That sound" and you were clearly talking about the engine/exhaust yet all i heard was gravel lol
best V70R project on YT
As always it's a pleasure watching your videos.
Only just come across your videos and they are wicked. Love watching them and has gotten me looking for Volvos now 😂
wheelemverb i love your content, vibe and approach to working on cars. keep the good work up!
The BMW e34 you are showing is a 5 series.
Loving the progress on the Volvo!
Oh, no! Only days until we see you bring home a BMW M3 to rebuild! Loving this series, Willem! I look forward to the surprises in every one. Cheers! ✌
My new fav yt series ❤
Love the content. Picked up a 2005 s40 T5 manual awd last month to work on. Swapped in the s80 v8 haldex controller to get the awd to be a little better. Looking forward to the spring when I can work finish up some maintenance before adding some power.
more rear wheel drive know?
Yeah. The split from factory is supposedly 80/20 front to rear. No way to measure but people assume its closer to 60/40 now. My s40 doesnt have traction control and the back end actually slides out a bit. Drove totally different in the snow as well.@@AXXeYY
@@josexavier7445 thats cool! mods like that are hidden gems :)
I think the BBS wheels look alot better. OEM+ is always the best imo. Love this car Willem!!
love it man. i will get started on mine very soon. you are reviving my love for this car.
Been waiting for the next peice! Thanks for having us along on this build. Excited for whats next
so glad ur still pumping out these great films
Please keep this series going I will watch and support them all, the Volvo V70R is my favourite and ultimate dream car. I love your vibes and everything about you man, you’re genuinely inspiring me to seek and build a perfect V70R for my dad, he loves Volvos but unfortunately has been put into a vegetative state due to stroke.
Thank you
I love your videos!! This is one of de best v70 I’ve ever seen!!!
Really enjoy the energy you put into these videos
Great videos man I’m really enjoying this series.
Awesome video! This channel is such a gem. keep up the good work!
Really enjoy your content, keep up the good work. always happy when you release new content :)
Well done mate for giving it a go yet again 👍🏻👍🏻. Bumper support oh dear 😂.
Nice work. I have a facelifted S60 bumper on my 03 V70 Base..... I went through all the sorting problems you did. Glad you got it figured out. Looks good but the R looks right.
I love this Frankenstein V70 build
Love your content, and persistence towards this project, these are also available here in the UK and I'm definitely looking online for one, after your videos, thank you.
Don't worry about mistakes, they are the best lessons you can have. As you get older you get wiser due to them 💪
I dig the TW's hat! I vacation every year in the Outer Banks. Another banger of a video!
It's interesting that even the "normal" versions of the S60 and V70 had different designed bumpers. And I actually like the looks of this S60 one the most. Happy to see it on a V70. Thanks for the great videos! Hi hi from Copenhagen, Denmark 😊
cool vid as always willem!
the new wheels look so good dude the car is absolutely fire cant wait to see the finish product its sounds mad and just looks beautiul 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I miss going to LKQ in SoCal. When you get that alert ⚠️ on your phone, time to go! 😄 You made the right call. I'd learn to refinish and repaint the V70R bumper later. It's not as hard as you'd think. But rock the T5 bumper for now. 👊🏼
10/10 content once again I been staring at the front bumper alot as well :P looks way better without the silly light window wipers imo
I love the t5 bumper over the r tbh. Deleting the washer and arm makes it looks much better. So much better now! I actually kinda love the wags coming from a Subaru Forester xt with a full sti drivetrain swap. Keep the vids up!
Hey! Cool find in the junkyard! I would recommend you go back and get the side mirrors from the junkyard s60 because they have the turn signals in the mirrors! Would be cool on the R!
Personally think the R bumper looked better besides the cosmetic issues, hopefully you can find one someday.
V70 R's are my favorite cars...here in Canada, they are so rare. There are some S60 R's but the majority are all rusty....I have a clean 05 XC70 and would really like to add a V70R....Great videos, keep up the great work....
I love this series!
I've never thought there was that huge dent. Great episode again~~ thanks
Omg i would have been shattered leaving a part on my roof, kills me, nice bounce back
It’s a real beauty, love it! 👏🏻👏🏻
Another great ep, just thinking about the R
Go back to that first yard and get the turn signal mirrors asap! A nice clean looking upgrade only from 07-up. Especially as you're doing the fender signal delete.
Favorite series
This car truly has come a long way since when you first bought it! I have an 06 s80 with the same paint color and you’re inspiring me to work on it 😂
Looking better every time.
Nice. Now you can put that bright red paint job on hold. Great video (as always).
So enjoyable watching this come together....One day the wheels will be done.....Manual swap....jeez....Compared to modern cars, my 04 XC70 is just too special to want anything but that.....Great content.
Perfect job. Congratulation from Austria 🇦🇹.
Great job!
damn bro keep it up, your videos is fiiiiiire
Bro's taste in lo-fi is immaculate 😮💨👌🏽
Also like the laid back straight to the point vibe, no clout bs like the rest of our generation does with cars. Keep it up!
Bring the R bumper back 😭
If i ever find a used one I will!
Man I used to watch your film channel back in 2019 I think it would've been. My v70 died a couple weeks ago and I am picking up an 05 XC70 this weekend. Trying to get more excited but some annoying work like a timing belt replacement and getting new all seasons on the car are in the imminent future. Surely I'll be more hyped once I'm driving it home and can just get those chores done asap
Definitely have to keep an OEM Volvo wheel on this wagon! Great vid as always.
Great video 🙂
Absolutely lovely and whimsical.
Love R Volvos. Simple as.
For the amount of effort you had in the bumper cover swap you could have made some solid progress on refurbishing the R bumper cover. It’s a great project to cut your teeth on auto body work. A cheap hvlp gun, some sanding supplies, paint, primer, clear, etc would have been in $200-250 range. Feels like you’ll end up doing that in the end. Auto body is not as hard as you might think just takes patience, a steady hand and attention to detail. I sanded, prepped and sprayed my own ‘93 Cobra in my garage all on my own with only prior experience painting smaller panels and such over the years and it turned out great. FWIW I have an electric silver ‘07 S60R and replaced the bumper twice in the 17 years I’ve owned it. Was able to get a factory color painted bumper cover brand new from the dealer for around $800 each time. At that price it was worth my time vs fixing my road rashed bumper covers. It has also served as my daily so down time had to be kept to a minimum.
Can't wait for the M66 swap lad. Keep it up man I believe in you.
Been following for awhile now. Your posts have made me interested in a V70-R! Black on black manual trans please.
Hello, your Volvo is looking 💯top, congratulations, I like the simplicity and honesty so you can admit that you are not a "master" in mechanics, keep it up .sub from Portugal 🇵🇹 I was about to forget about it, I love the sound, the exhaust sound may be ugly but the sound is spectacular 👍
My buddies and I had an S60 R that got in a small accident. We ended up replacing front and rear bumpers wheels lights grille and molding with a base model. Wheels were 15s off a xc70. It was a true sleeper and looked sick
Dude, when I asked my insurance saleswoman for a quote on full coverage, she was like "Huh? Is it really worth for a 20 year old car?"
Like damn, yes absolutely
You were so lucky to find a color matched v70 with clean panels. I would have taken the hood in a heartbeat in case you get in a wreck in the future.
Great temporary fix with the bumper but as others have said, it really doesn't look as good as even that scrappy old V70r bumper did, I would try and fix that R bumper, I bet you could do it! That proper V70r bumper is part of what makes it an R. Also, those side indicators look great I think and are cheap to buy online. It's a matter of taste I know but deleting those doesn't enhance the look of the car and makes it that bit harder for other road users to see you indicating even if it's just a little bit... EDIT. The wing mirrors with built in indicators from that scrap car is deffo a nice option! BTW love your fails with the wheel fitment etc! Thanks for keeping those in, they make me feel better about my many many fails with stuff like this and makes the videos way more entertaining. Keep up the awesome work. I need to do some videos on my T5 after being inspired by your channel
Willem, it looks easy to take of this side part. Everyone told me it was a difficult job but it aint? I want to replace it on my 04 S60 2.5T. Gr from 🇳🇱
looking forward to the manual swap, volvos are pretty common where i live so without the R bumper it does look more like normal but it's still quite nice.
This v70 would look so cool with that blue color I see on the newer Volvo V60 Polestar.
Those BBS wheels look 🔥
I have an 07 S60R manual in silver, and my 18” pegasus wheels are all corroded up from the salt.
r bumper goes hard but ye put the money where its necessary. loving the series :-)
Totally! If I ever find a used one for cheap ill throw it on but I'd rather spend my money on a nice clutch setup or something.
The amber turn signal on the US spec looks really good with your color v70
Seriously gonna need a price breakdown series. 😂
At the end for sure 😂
Hey man, I'm loving the v70 R content. I have a xc70 and I'm looking to do more upgrades. Your videos help a lot. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get the VIDA software, and do you use the DICE reader too?. I just can't find an affordable way of modifying or testing the performance of my volvo. Thanks man.
get a color matched paint is very hard especially for a bumper that flexes. Would always recommend a used oem bumper to a new aftermarket respray.
There are inexpensive and reasonably good quality LED replacements for those fender mounted signals. Pleased to see how successful your channel is with this project - congratulations.
With the high beams, did you know you have to move the headlight switch from automatic to manual? Otherwise the high beams only come on for as long as you pull the turn signal stalk back. Why is anyone's guess - one of the strangest things about these cars. I had a V70 with those HID headlights and the high beam was excellent.
The euro model got highbeams instead of the daytime running lights and they are pretty decent.
Thats cool! I have a cool project on the way for the headlights that should fix that!
YOOO that looks super good :D The Wheels also would've looked really good, are you going to get another one in the right bolt pattern?
Love it!👍
You have to put the R bumper back asap. Yeah the other one looks okay but the R is something completely different and absolutely gorgeous!
hmmm i've got t5 and i have these headlight wipers and i think that standart look or r look are the best front bumpers so my t5 is kinda unmarked with standart looking bumper and my car makes 7.3 sec. to 100 kmh from 7.1 stock and have insane grip on start i love these car i own it for about 2 months.
Im not sure about the s60 bumper, but atleast there are no paint chips now. Good job.
a lot of hard work , excellent mindset with looking forward with everything and on this episode , when u spent a tons of money for maintenance and needed repair... u did the worst thing for every R enthusiast and take away the what volvo designed for R models, just repaint this bumper with rear bumper and car will be look AMAZING. Now it look like someone dont know anything about R models.
Apart of it, a lot of great job!
Honestly I would love for you to get into a bmw, the resto would be insane. Even the non M cars are fantastic drivers cars
ayyyyy New vid!!!!
Manual swap?!? God I love these videos lol
hearing the road debris hitting the underside of the bmw, i feel that as a pennsylvania winter survivor lmao
Nice undercover V70R:)
I like the stealth look at the front! To bad about the rims but hey, originals look better anyways. To me at least!
Some Euro Headlights now 👍🏻
