Yes I feel the same for this one! 👍

As a long-time Volvo owner (P1800, 245, 960, XC70) who does all my own work, love the series! If it was me, even with a "budget" project, would have assumed the rubber spring cushions etc. needed replacement, and ordered them along with the springs... And washed out / relubed the strut bearings, while you had them out! Subscribed for more... Keep up the good work! -DC

Since you're doing the springs, was surprised you didn't change the shocks as well.

As a fellow Volvo 740 owner, I love this series! Subbed!

Question? why not everything is covered in rust removed with a sandblaster and then put in matte black paint ? I once did it with my Renault 25 TXE sometime in the 90s, a good friend of mine once proposed and also carried it out, after work was done, the bottom looked and everything that had been slightly rusted was like new again. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of it because my friend forgot to do it and at the time that didn't always happen to capture something with a camera, which I regret now, ha ha Still a very good job you have done so far!!

I enjoy watching your repair work on the car and your approach. Quite a daunting task, even on the surface it's quite a survivor. Great to see you save the car.

I guess you know your '88 740 GL was built entirely with Zincrometal (zinc coated steel). So, when doing any repairs to the body panels, floor pans, etc. you have to use products that are compatible to zinc coated steel. Btw, your dash has the exact same cracks that my '90 740 GL has. Go figure! lol

Like the project! 👍 Friendly tip though, spring compressors are unnecessary in the rear, just loosen the top bolt for the shocks on both sides, and you can lower the rear axle far enough so that the spring can be removed. 🙂
