Thanks so much Jamie for having me on, was a blast filming this and thanks to everyone in the comments for the kind words and love for the old rectangle 👍👍
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
GO ON BEN LAD 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Great self build lad , should be very proud 👊 lovely looking old school motor 👍
very cool car mate!
good vid, the lad did a brilliant job, and learning on the job too. big respect
"NEED FOR SWEDE" Hands down the best car sticker I've ever seen!!
I have one aswell lol
When he said "Its my pride and joy"!!
Round of applause guys c'mon this is what you call raw ambition, Learning from scratch and working with your dad to make something like this hats off...honestly
First rule of motoring, never race an olded Volvo estate
Haha the fear of a volvo estate 🤣
@@ash1ey100 haahah its real bro
And why not, if I may ask? Nowt wrong with old Volvos, you just need to know how to steer with your right foot.
@@thefreedomguyuk he means they can be surprisingly quick
@@thefreedomguyuk he means that there are a lot of Volvo sleeper cars around
Wow didn’t realize it would be so “light”. Amazing that the lad didn’t knew anything about building a car and then came up with this, massive respect! Nice video as always, thanks Jamie!
1350 kg is crazy for a car of that length. A golf is around the 1500kg mark
Arran Fearnley well the average one is like 1400 ish
Arran Fearnley depends on which Golf. Golf mk1 definitely isnt 😉
check the weight of a 940turbo, the size is similar to a BMW e34 535i but it is actually lighter.
All those silly stories about old Volvo's being heavy tanks are just not true.
My v70 t5 started life at just over 1600kg after gutting the interior I'm already down to 1380kg still got standard front seats all glass windows aircon electric front windows so could get a lot more weight off which I will be doing soon. Here's a little video if you fancy a watch.

"nobody lowers them"
Every teenager in sweden: "am i a joke to you?"
tro be fair all of the slammed volvos i see here have cut springs
Haha it's the same across the border, every old volvo you see has cut springs and goes sideways down the street lol
That's how its done 🇸🇪😉
I currently drive a Volvo V40 T5 hatch.. It's lowered. But they definitely aren't very popular for modifying here in the UK. I'm about to get a V90 wagon.. And I'll be putting it on it's ass too.
@@shona5512, no cutting springs on that one(v90) 😂
@@emilnilssonswe350 Ah definitely not, it'll be getting a proper coilover setup. Either BCs or KWs.
Knows zero about cars, builds this... respect!!!!!
In my opinion that is definitely the coolest car you've had on it looks smart as ✊💨💨💨💨😎😎 hats off for doing all the work yourself too
Jack Millin have to say I agree on that one🤜
Yes a modded Volvo Wagon is sex!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🚐💨💨💨💨
Nowhere near the coolest😂😂😂
@@cbecks2051What's the coolest in your opinion?
old Chris. There's always one 🙄
Mad respect to this guy for keeping it Volvo with the B230ft and not swapping to something else.
I have the upmost respect for people that buy cars with no mechanical knowledge, but spend the time to learn and discover how things work, and how to fix and build things. Good Stuff ...and awesome Volvo!
I had a 940 Wentworth....handy at the time as the misses kicked me out, being 6'2 was not a problem...seats down, plenty of room for me and my guitar for a few days (a few days of piece and quiet!)
Lol, Tommy watches officially gassed, i watch your stuff as well 😂
Volvo is the reason why the Focus 225 ST/RS was great 🤧
Volvo do some great engines
your face when the car is going fast makes my day
This guy is a legend, he still finds the thrill and excitement in lower end vehicles compared to the nice fast and expensive cars he gets into. True car lover and is humble enough to pump up the owner of the car and really enjoy it for what it is.
This is the type of thing I love, raw enthusiasm , customising & modifying great cars using your own hands and ingenuity , hats of to this guy, and hats off to you for highlighting this on your channel.
The 2.3 redblock turbos are soooo underrated, people don't know the potential of these, on standard internals you can do 300hp with basic bolt on mods, if you go further like my brothers doing on his old 940 turbo then you can get 500hp.
Old Volvos will never get old 👌🏾
atomic.universe just better looking 😍😍
they just get faster
Then don't call them old 😂
Volvo's are no joke this build is crazy. Big props to the owner.
Love a DIY build 👌 23 years old and has a quality old school self built motor. Well done lad 👊
These engines are strong, friend on mine just pushed 400hp on stock internals, just a good cam and a BIG turbo.
Standalone is a must tho as the stock management is a bit lackluster
This turbo brick may have the aerodynamics of a house and the dimensions of a canal boat but I absolutely love it. Full of character, bags of style and the owner clearly cares about his build. This is what the channel is all above and keeps me coming back every time! Thanks Jamie 👍👍
Finally the father of all sleepers 🙏😂😂😂
*grandfather hehe
A large red car with a bodykit, big shiny gold aftermarket wheels and tuner stickers is not a sleeper. It's a very cool, quick car, but not a sleeper!
@@stephen9869 just cos it's got stickers and gold aftermarket wheels don't mean shit it could have a stock engine with all that shit it is a sleeper
Then you don't know what a sleeper is !!
With that rims and that low? Not really a sleeper
Big up Jamie for getting all of these old school engine swapped cars/home built cars on your videos. Love how much work they do and how rapid they can be.
I’m a 80’s baby and grew up in the 90’s. This is what we want to see. Got no interest in the new skool auto stuff getting pumped out by vag. This kind of cars getting built by car guys is what interests me. This geezer loves his motor and you can see it with the smiles his car gives him
And not a DSG fart to be heard 🤣
Lol get me, bored of Golf R’s and what ever built after 2010
Taz Tarran Those farts 😂
Same. I love the fact that modded cars from that era are still a thing. I miss those days, having limited knowledge about cars but them being built in a way you could tear them apart easily enough and learn. I replaced a head gasket and gearbox on my old Nova GTE with just a Haynes manual to go off.
100% all the old cars deffo.. not interested in any thing dsg n all this new shiz
Absolutely love this thing. Hats off to Ben for building it himself. Honestly cannot think how I would change it - well perhaps a set of rear mud flaps - can’t believe I would ever suggest that 😆
More of this please. Tired of seeing fake car guys having their cars built for them with dual Clutch autos and remapped gearboxes😕
Mad respect to the owner. Learned and built at home. Insane🔥🔥
Hats off to my man it may not have massive power figures but still shifts i was expecting at least 2ton in weight didn’t realise they were that light, looks propa an built on the driveway wiv no experience madness, FairPlay 👏🏾keep these custom retro builds coming Jamie 🤙🏽
Most people think my v70 t5 is around 2 ton. It only started life at just over 1600kg now after a bit of weight reduction its 1380kg with a lot more weight I could lose
czcams.com/video/AhNMXEre6WU/video.html
This Volvo and the turbo Micra were your best videos by far!!! Please get more content like this
Jamie been smashing it with the vids lately 💥
Honestly if you don‘t like these Volvos what are you even doing
You like plastic scooters, so you have lost the right to have an opinion!
Yeah you cant hate these!! They are awesome
Buying a bmw ofc
These builds are so sick compared to modern shit 🤣
Now that is a Thing of beauty, looking Absolutely Mint 👌 as a fellow Volvo enthusiast I can't help but drool all over this build 😍
Cant wait to get my Volvo anywhere near as nice as this but unfortunately a little way of still lol
czcams.com/video/AhNMXEre6WU/video.html
Good lad. Built a weapon from scratch. This is what we love a car that ain't on credit but a credit to its owner. Keep up the epic content J.....
Awesome comment and play on words!
Nice to see something different. A Volvo!!!!.
Great job by someone who learnt on the job.
Looks brilliant, retro and really old cool school.
Love it.
Talk about a left field car! I love it!! Proper home build and cool owner. Oh and who’s Jamie’s favourite football presenter??? Gary Linear 🤣......... I’ll get me coat ☹️
Clock the wall plate straps holding the radiator!
Amazing build, love this. Respect 👊🏻
That's funny I was thinking where have I seen them before couldn't put my finger on it ,thanks for that.
I love it!! Its got the aerodynamics of a building brick but it's beautiful you dont see shape in cars anymore just the same wind tunnel produced cars amazing sir
Daaaaamn that looks savage, I friggin love these old retro builds, it’s so much more interesting that newer motors
Excellent video and a really nice build, spot on stance and look; the owner should be very proud of his work. Been the wrong side of 50 i have a real soft spot for these Volvo's, people forget the 240 was top in all forms of motor sport. Not quite sure of the idea that it's a sleeper though for a sleeper check out Paul Newman's Volvo 960, now that's a sleeper!!!
I would have that in a second, used to love the T5.
Tyrone Sewell I would be there in .5 🤣🤣😍
This car don't have a t5 engine
Damn I love old school Volvo’s I think more than old school Porsche’s. Props to the owner. Badass car bro!!👌🏽
Absolutely love it! I've got a 1970 142 and a 1974 145. I think I need to add a 245 wagon to the herd!
That’s a cracking car mate, had many Volvo estates over the years being in the trade , 240,740,760,850 and all well built ant the 850r was a right weapon, brilliant mate 👍
Now this got my attention right away. I love these old Swedish slabs, but more than anything else, i love a sleeper. This car is very cool, another quality vid mate. Im loving your work.
Nothing beats seeing people's faces when you fly by them in your shitbox sleeper 🤣 cant wait to start building mine properly
czcams.com/video/AhNMXEre6WU/video.html
"built on the driveway" love it 👍
How smooth is that exhaust, though. Perfect sleeper, brilliantly executed. Keep this old school stuff coming!
Absolutely love this! Retro with old school boost! Some wobbly moments under braking, gearbox charm haha. Fun review, class owner, enjoyed that guys 😎👍
There’s way more than sheer figures to the car world... this Ben guy and his beautiful old school Volvo are living proof of that. Screw the 0-60, this car is a masterpiece ❤️
I’m loving these built not brought cars you have had on lately, keep em coming Jamie. Great Volvo btw Ben 👍🏻
it's definitely a blast from the past for me,started working at a volvo dealership in 2004 as a mechanic apprentice, when these where still running around more then now a days only we had ALOT of diesels with the straight 6 audi diesel engines in it and alot of miles on them to.Mostly old farmers😅 now i didn't work alot on them apart from the regular oil change now and then,the rest was for the old dogs in the garage,but yeah if your underneath one you would think your working on a tank lol.Nice build to see and big👍👍👍 for the owner for starting from scratch with no mechanical background,and let me tell you there's alot to learn if you want to be a mechanic,so big props for the owner,love people like that who just do it,and 9/10 they create amazing builds.Proper dtm wagon for the road.👍✌️👉
Cool car!!! Here in Puerto Rico,I've seen v8s swapped in! My favorite Volvo is the 850 sport wagon manual!
That Volvo is Beautiful and very well Built .Looks a lot Better than some very expensive estate cars .Thanks For Showing. Love watching these vids .
Not the fastest car on your channel, but making it up in old skool style!! Respect for the guy who build it himself👍👍
Loving this, love the fact you're making good power with the ebay parts too just proves they work well. Got a ways to go with our 1.9TD swapped 206 to rival 320 brake though, wonder if it'll ever be worthy of going on here...
People who got a chance to see this car in person know what kind of a presence it is on the road. Amazing build!
I really like the look and colour matching enginebay, goes well too.Respect to the guy👏
Love an old Volvo! Really liking these old school build Jamie! Built not bought deserves heaps of respect! Great vid as per 👍
Hello, born and raised in Torslanda here. Had a few of those 240 station wagons myself during the years. Nice car you got there mate!
Old Volvos never die 🙌🏼
Old Swedish cars Like Volvo & Saab's never get old !!!
Cool car ! ..on the 0-60 I think he was short shifting if ya ask me ... I'm sure it'll rev up more than that 😳
Definitely! There’s a sub 7 in there for sure!
I own the car now and completely agree
I had a 850 T5 estate, very nice car and handled good for a big heavy car .
Thats a very Nice Volvo 👍👍
Maximum Respect to this guy ..... Jamie more home builds please
My dad had one of these new hes 85 now still swears it’s the best car he’s had 😂
So sick I love that old skool shape volvo nothing beats that era of volvos .
I LOVE this!!!!! Old tuned Volvo's are my cup of tea!!. Great feature, thank you :)
Keep an eye on this build coming soon 😀
czcams.com/video/AhNMXEre6WU/video.html
LOVE OLD VOLVO WAGONS! i had two. Such cool body lines. They will always have a place in my heart
You gotta love the diversity of cars on this channel... Well done J, awesome mate! Great car! Cracking owner! Makes my day watching these vids 😁🙌👊
Man said VERY DEAD 😂😂😂😂
That's the beauty of macpherson struts. Lot's of room in the engine bay.
I’m very happy to see a cool in depth video on this car!! Def my favourite volvo 240 build as of late
It’s so good to see an old skool Volvo you just don’t see them now a days.
Is that John Travoltas son? 😂
HAHAHAHA
r/rareinsults
Today I was working somewhere when a light metallic blue one of these with huge wheels pulled into the carpark it was mint and I fell in love with it and then I get home and this is on your channel they are so lovely looking and I would love to weld panels where the rear side windows are and turn it into a van
Forget GTR's and RS', Porsche's and Nismo. This is by far the most badass car. Love it!! ❤❤❤
Sound guy and a very cool car. Props to him for doing all that himself.
I really like that one.
Diggin' the gold wheels as well.
Several of my mates had 240 volvos, and I done many miles both as passanger and driver.
One of the mates had a 350 chevy powered 240 estate, was pretty common swap back in the 80s and 90s here in Norway.
That one looked like the one in the video, but sligthly lower.
My late uncle was an Volvo man, and had Amazon estate, 242 among those I remember.
His daughter was married with a chap that had a 242 GT which was a rare car due the low production numbers. I remember I got a ride in that.
LOVE the variety on this channel!👊🏽
So good to see anouther home built car on the channel.
Nostalgia right there beautiful build .. Jamie top man for getting this on the channel bud. Great show
I like the build a lot, and props for a first try. I wish he'd kept the exterior as low key as the interior personally, but to each their own, though it still is very pretty.
The 245 is the best car ever built.if you just take care of it,it will never stop.the original B21 engine is one of the most reliable ever.
Thank you for doing some volvo stuff people don't know how cheap parts are let alone how much power you can pull out of these cars
Volvo is a unit of a car, they’re TANKS literally 💯🔥🔥!
Definitely my favourite build on the channel, absolutely amazing build! Gotta love old volvos
Love the old Volvo. Spent a lot of time in sweden and you see many similar motors, love it!!
Yes!! love this, my kind of car old school cool ❤️ proper sleeper with how quiet it is
Loads of fun, but with that front arch clearance, you'd need a forest of tyre-trees in the back garden!
Hey , Nice brick, I have the twin but USDM , i am almost done with the swap , 7mgte from an old supra and a lot of mods. Today i was sandblasting a lot parts including the front struts, im redoing the front suspension. Great job. , not bad for a 23 year old, Im half a century and still love the pedal to the metal!!!
take care , cheers from Chicago!!!! DZ
Loving the content Jamie, so varied, awesome! 👍Cool Volvo!
Brilliant. Love the Halfords boot tidy. That car is awesome. Need a bass tube and 6x9s!
What a wicked car! Love it! Hats off learning on the job and ended up with this. Nice one
Nice ride man!!!
B230fk is 134hp from factory.
Btw I have the same car in the same colour with a BMW m50b25 in it. Love it❤️
Hands down sickest car you've ever featured major creds to the guy!
Great video as always !! Sure they used these volvos in UK touring car in 90s
so great to see this guys passion in his build! what an epic car fair play :) brilliant video Jamie!
Great stuff Jamie. Love the guest - and his wagon - self taught petrolhead 👏 can’t do anything like it in future with EVs. Be safe all 😷
This is what it's all about! getting stuck in and making something great and unique! Id rather be able to stand next to a car that you can say you built with your bare hands than one that was rolled out a tuning house 🔥🔥
love that Volvo, I'd take it over all the others on your leader board 👍
I love seeing something different, also hat off to that man learning how to build and mod an engine 🙌
