That is such an iconic and a really awesome car to own. Especially with the 5 speed manual transmission. I also like the Saabs as well. My first car was a 1996 Saab 900 S.

Good job. Regards from vinyl specialist. I have been doing vinyls 16 years now and it was nice to see how much you adjust your installing technique in few vinyl pieces. I agree that second side is easier and faster. I can only imagine how much struggle you have with first door handle. =)

Love this look ! Great job ! ps : from France :)

Grymt bra jobbat! roligt att se alla framsteg.

looks amazing, get rid of the rear mud flaps if allowed. will look even better when on a set of btcc like alloys.

My dad painted his car in 1976 with underlay car paint on the body went rock hard Then when Hammerite paint came out he had a load given to him on one of his paintings contract But they decided not to use it So he painted his 2 Ford capri With it.

Try not to rush the job....

In 1990 I painted a van with Red with black accents in oil base outdoor paints. Masked it nice and did a couple black racing stripes on hood and line fade to the rear on sides. It came out AMAZING, that is for $30 worth of paint it was awesome. My friend is a professional /custom car painter airbrush artist. Whenever i would drive that thing over he would compliment me , then say, NAH just fckn with ya , its HORRIBLE WTH why didnt you call me?...I have base and clear epoxy by the gallon dude WTF dumbazz...and other nice things friends say when your a dork. I still think it came out nice, almost no drips .(if you squint.)

dosnt look that bad on camera, you could flat sand and then polish.

just started watching an thinking noooooooo!!!

Awesome build! Whats the color of the chassis called?

Nice!

cool build

Har precis löst detta på min S70 med B5254S. Rök ur oljesticksröret trots rengjord vevhusventilation. I mitt var var det plaströret/slangen som går från oljefällan till insugsslangen som var mer eller mindre täppt, märkte det först när jag bröt av den. Efter jag bytt till ny grövre slang kommer det ingen rök alls! Kan vara värt att kolla upp ifall du inte redan gjort 🙂

ideally you need to test on another 850 to see what is normal.

It is easy to remove the wiper motors. It is easiest to unbolt the plastic slam panel/front mask and push it out a bit to make remove to remove the wiper. The left side is easier, there is room when you take out the battery.

Rims look good, very touring car.

Wouldnt worry, probably just moisture, engines for these must be conmon in sweden, and with you lift a very easy job to drop whole subframe with engine, and replace.

Shouldn't worrie too much about it. I saw the car was outside in the snow, it could certainly be just moisture which entered the engine.

hopefully if it a problem with water in the oil it is an easier problem to fix, was going to say it could be a head gasket, but i see you already replaced it. also those wheels are nice

Spoiler looks really good. regards the radio, ideally get a sc-901, they sound much better than the stock sc-801 in the 850. have done this upgrade myself in my car. how do you get the code from the number on top of the radio?

funny, just had to do this on my 850r. when i bought it the r bumper was badly damaged and had cracking paint from previous paint job. have to sand back to bare plastic, repair cracks and paint. but as i didnt know how to paint had to learn how to use a gun, 2k paint. took many weekends over the summer to sort. but finally done and back on the car.

keep these videos coming. have just got my 850r manual back on the road and loving being back in a petrol (10 years of volvo d5). yes motivation can be hard, but i like to do one job at a time, last weekend was subframe bushes, this weekend - front engine mount, coolant flush, coolant bottle and level sensor, few turn on actuator. luckily we have not had snow where i am in the uk, loads of rain though!!!

Love it!

I had the same problem with not having the motivation to work on the car, that's ok man. Doing jobs on the car should be fun and there's nothing wrong with taking a break. Right now i am back at it and try do work on it for 1 hour max a day and that works very well, sometimes i even extend that hour if i am feeling well :-) Nice job and i am looking forward to your next one!

my dream car, only missing sunroof and theres no better car with better engine in the world, t5 sounds too good

Can you show how you moved the distributor to the front of the engine?

Nice car mate. Cant beat a 5 pot. Iv got a manta 400 rep i want to put a 5cylinder in. I cannot understand why more people don't use them in rwd

Did you do the valve stem seals and clean and lap the valves?

Love your project! What's the difference between this engine and the T5 of C30/S40?

Im an 850 guy (2x 850r's, 1x 850 t5 and 2.5 10v in the garden), but love the 740's. my dad had 2 and his last one was in the colour of yours but an estate. would love to have a 740 but rare and expensive now in the uk. have looked at 740 and t5, but to get the parts is hard in the uk now not like 10 years ago. enjoyed your 850 btcc videos and looking forward to more from your channel and sharing your knowledge.

Nice 740, what color is that?

It takes some bravery to do such job on the engine and you sir, did it very well!

Love this

Great build my friend. I've recently got My 1986 740 red block up and running using 4 x 42mm pwk bike carbs! she runs well too, great pulls up to 100mph! ; - )

That’s a lot of work. I sure wish, my 850AWD, ran out the back. Is that a common conversion, in Sweden?

Im doing a similar setup but on my 93 850 glt. I might have some questions for you about the gearbox and clutch setup if you have any time for me!

Your english is amazing and dont worry about the engine bay its functional ghats all that matter pretty comes later. Car is awesome what a great build! Subscribed👍🏻

A volvo 750!!!! great!!

Nice to see your speedometer is working. Still trying to understand why mine isn’t. ABS module?.

Americans refer to the brake discs as Rotors. I noticed that in Sweden you can buy British English or American English in the bookshops. Not American Bookstores!. They haven’t spoken English since 1776.

Well done. A daunting job. Kept my 855 from new in 94. Took it every year to Sweden from Gateshead by DFDS.until 02. Replaced the header manifold several years ago. Cannot find the correct 3 bolts and nuts for the rear lower control suspension support bracket or the long bolt and nut for the trailing arm. 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I'm in love. It's absolutely beautiful.

What clutch and flywheel are you using?

what was the huge mistake?

These rural exhausts are disgusting.

förjävla go

What a great idea. Love it. Nothing like the sound of a 5 pot turbo.

its yuo volvo drivs with the frontvells

Coolt bygge men synd på den fina 850n:(
