Super rusty (floors/windshield are heavily corroded, Rocker panels 50% gone) and the last three owners were first time drivers so it's been neglected. I wanted to save it but I don't have the resources to do so. It runs and refuses to give up though

The cowl and surrounding areas have been penetrated by rust in several areas and it won't pass inspection again. I don't have the time or the space to deal with craigslist bums so it's off to the scrapyard I'm afraid. If I had any other option I'd pursue it but unfortunately that's not the case. It's a shame too, I got it road worthy again after a couple of years of sitting with seized brakes but the cancer is too advanced

Anyone know of any mods I can do to my 2007 XC90? It's the V8 model but it looks kinda like a momcar. I was thinking of tinting my brakelights but that might be a bit trashy.

A melancholy feel but it was well worth the memories and experience. I think I'm going to take her for a final rip around some twisties before popping the little Quartz clock out for my future 240/740 and sending it to oblivion. Perhaps one day I'll even buy it back and patch it up, who knows

>>14984364
I dunno it also has a cowl induction style hood scoop that might be solid bondo.
It was $250 and I needed the headlights and a few other trim pieces for my 855 tarbo. it was also hooned to shit and has a popped head gasket, I would've fixed it if it was the nice dark blue metallic that is under all that booger the interior was nice until I started throwing parts in it. Also scored and it had the rear jump seat.

in a shit car that I am sending to the crusher when I'm done scavenging parts. no fucks given.
>>14985401
mine had a failed tcv and a ripped cbv, the boost gauge spierburg seemed to hold with a vacuum pump. I ordered the porsche pierburg for $45? I forget but holds 14 with the ard tune now.
>>14984330

>>14985432
Sorry for the late reply, I actually forgot that I even posted in this thread. Anyway it does boost. But it doesn't go as far into the white side of the guage as it should. I know that I need to replace that pcv system, but would that fix it? Most of the lines are pretty brittle, so I feel like it should help it in some way. I know that the tcv line isn't in good condition at all, for now would me just replacing that help it? Luckily I'm getting a decent paying job soon, so I can toss money towards the needed maintenance. Timing belt and water pump are still good for a while.
>>14989057
Just read up on what a tcv is and I'm definitely just going to grab one out of the next v70 that comes through my local scrap yard. Sounds like it could definitely be my issue.
>>14989057
>doesn't go very far into white part of gauge
because it sucks, and it probably never will
hence
>the stock boost gauge will always leak and be shit
if you want an accurate boost gauge you should go aftermarket
>will replacing/cleaning pcv system help?
if it does it will be very marginal. what it will do is help take excess crankcase pressure off the top end of the engine while boosting
>tcv line is in bad shape
replace it, get some hose clamps (or zip ties) and some vacuum lines from the irish or vatozone, it will be less than $5
>srs, get a pierburg TCV out of a junked v70

Not sure if you can hit 400lb ft with the td04 turbo, but I think you can get pretty close.
>>14989174
they're way overpriced, you can find nos or aftermarket on fleabay. just search td04 bypass rebuild instead of volvo specific search words. for the ipd money i would just spend more and convert to a piston type.

I want a post-95 960 wagon and there are none in aus currently.
And I meant turning the engine 90 degrees, changing rear suspension for s90 stuff and fabbing driveshaft and etc
>>14994524
>i don't want to put a T5 engine in a 960 or 245
I don't get you
>>14995212
200 and 700 is too old
940 is too primitive
therefore late 960 wagon or v90 is the answer
however, these are not available
furthermore, I prefer the v70 front end and interior. these can be swapped but it's a trek
good reasoning?
>>14995340
>too old
dude your a fag lmao
>>14995340
>good reasoning?
no.
Here's where you fucked up:
>1) nowhere to put driveline for p80 except on haldex models
>2) it's a lot less work to T5 swap a 960 than custom build a RWD drivetrain and fabricate engine mounts for a p80 chassis
>3) referring to 700 series as too old, and 940 as too primitive; but 940 is a cosmetic redesign of the 740
>4) 900 series got better interiors than v70s
also:
>referring to any volvo as too old
>>14972108
don't know anything about volvos and saabs. What are the models I should be looking for if I want a sporty ride and fun to drive.
budget is of around 5k-
also how expensive are these cars in terms of maintenance?
>>14995488
I don't want something with 5 owners and a million kms.
940 had improved chassis design, incl. side impact stuff and airbag for safety
even the v90 interior looks like the 740s (i.e.vgear selector)
v70 p80 has space for driveline as it had awd.
just gotta fuck around with rad/intercooler placement, maybe hammer the firewall and tunnel a bit
also diff and fuel tank but eh
>>14995597
>putting a custom drivetrain on it
>not rebuilding the engine
wew lad
>940 had improved chassis design, incl. side impact stuff and airbag for safety
that's the 960 m8
>Introduced in September 1990, the 940 was essentially a cosmetic reskin of the 740. All drivetrains, and most options available in the 940 had been available in the 740, with the exception of the 780 Coupé. The 940 was more closely related to the 740 than the 760, sharing the same dashboard, drivetrain choices, and sheet metal from the A-pillar forward. In contrast, the 960 was an evolution of the 760.
>hammer in the firewall
>where the heater core is
wow
>>14995597
rule of thumb is numbers are good (240,760,850,940), letters are bad, with the exception of the v70s and a few others
>really anything before '99/'00 and Forditis set in
you're going to want to find a turbo for maximum fun, and if you're in the U.S. manuals are very rare and for the 240 somewhat undeseriable
>budget:$5k
buy a $2-3k 700, 850, or 900 series and spend the rest on upkeep because
>expensive to maintain?
>first and second owners were probably a normie couple and their kid
>paid a mechanic to maintain
>did bare minimum to keep vehicle running
so all that differed maintenance of a 20+ y/o vehicle is now yours. they run well when neglected however.
>>14995697
>in the U.S. manuals are very rare and for the 240 somewhat undeseriable
well fuck me,
>>14995773
yeah. They're really good autotragics but still
>bumper mounted a/t cooler when?
there are 240 and 740s with manuals, and Canada got manuals;they don't require much more attention than the auto aside from clutch replacements, but finding stock turbo redblocks is uncommon.
Just got this one for $600. It's a shame how much gas this thing goes through, Imma end up needing to do weekly trips to the US to fuel up if I don't wanna be bankrupt.
(1994 Volvo 850 NA, 200,000km)

>>14995576
>buy 940 turbo for $800

For $5,000 you can do a whole lot with a 940.

took my car to Zen Motorsports to get some brackets made and i don't think they have ever worked on a saab before.
Feels good to have that special snowflake status.
Also anyone have any ideas for a vanity front plate
I had the idea of "wasaabi" a while back but now that MCM is using it i don't really want to make it seem like i copied them.
Another idea i had was Saabotage
>>15001091
"Saabro" would fit really nice, actually.
Just bought an '08 S40 with 99K on the odometer. First swede car. I paid $5500, $6500 out the door with taxes, fees and Florida tags are like $450 for new ones.
Clean Carfax, one owner, carfax showed it was dealer maintained on a lease up to 80,000 miles then it was purchased by the guy leasing it.
Anything I should know about these cars? Fucking love it so far, sexy styling, I just wish I could swap out the head unit but the climate control and all that shit is hooked into it so I know it's not happening.

Parts aren't that hard to find for the gm era saabs. I can generally get any part i need from the internet for my '06.
its the older saabs that are tough
i remember i was going to get pic related for my first car but my parents wanted the car to have an airbag and this one had the airbag failure light on.
I ran around everywhere looking for the correct part to fix it and called a few saab specialist.
Nothing.
By the time i convinced my parents to ignore it and allow me to buy the car the guy sold it to someone out of state.
Im still salty about it because i cant find another 9000 aero in that condition

>>15001599
GM Saab parts are stocked at GM dealerships. They just have no way to find part numbers. Find it yourself and bring it to them. Chances are they have it.
how bad are more modern (2005 - 2010ish) Saabs and Volvos in terms of maintenance and reliability?
i.e. would you ever recommend them to normie friends who come to you for car buying advice? I've had a couple friends ask me about them recently.

Got the 850 home in one piece but it needed a new battery which was expected. Ironing out all the quirks but for $400 I'd say I got a solid car. Needs a good waxing and detailing but we'll save that until 1) it's sunny and 2) I install new brakes/rotors
>>15020260

>>15020304
nice, $400 is a steal.
I found the brakes to be pretty easy, the only weird thing is the baby drum brakes inside the rear rotors for the parking brake. also clamp off the brake hose for the caliper you're working on otherwise it'll force pad material back up the lines and the ABS will hate it

sadly he had no license and crashed it into a tree when he was drunk and driving around at night just for fun. he just left the car where it was and nobody ever found out it was his

So he had no license, but he boguht a car? wtf

Well yes, he learned driving by playing Gran Turismo and at some point he came to me and showed me a 850 for a great price that he wanted to buy because it was a great deal and he was planning to go to driving school in a few months (he would be finished by now).
But he had no money, and so he did not buy that car. Then a month later he saw that V40 which looked great on the internet, so we went there but it turned out to be really shit. However we paid so much for the train ticket that we just bought it. (I paid 100€, he paid 200€)
We drove home with stolen license plates and parked the car at the schools parking lot (I'm not underage dw), it was pretty funny driving that thing. He was literally driving a car for the first time in his life and he was going 100mph on the Autobahn when the 5th gear just kept popping out. I didn't really expect to survive that desu
The driver side door on the car literally would not lock, which we didn't notice until a day after we bought it. The key was just the metal part of the key with that small electric block glued onto it, the plastic housing just got "lost"
The car was trash and we paid too much, but we didn't pay a lot and it was worth it I think. Fun memories.
RIP Blue Thunderbolt

Yeah I'm familiar with the parking brake system, they've been using it since the 140 I think. Weird about the caliper thing, I've never heard about that.
