There will be a couple more videos on it :’)

I rarely comment on KZread, but in this case, I’d like to express my appreciation for your videos. I’m a European guy that has been in love with Volvo’s, especially the R models, since I was a 5 year old. My dad always had Volvo’s, never the R though, but I fixed that myself and have a nice 850R I cherish. Now here’s why I appreciate you and your videos: You love the car for what it is. All mods you do, is more like a polish of what is already a very enjoyable roadcar, instead of modding with the more is better kind of approach. You are not changing it to an poor driving, unreliable HP monster or “racecar for the road because the R should be faster”. I believe you are doing it right. But I guess you knew this already because when you take a testdrive afterwards you look like a little boy on Christmas morning. Have fun with your special Swedish special car, keep it nice and enjoy it as a true classic car later on in life too that will only gain value and rarity if you keep it clean. Also, I don’t know if you did anything to strengthen the cilinders, but be careful you don’t crack those walls and it will serve you well for years.

8:39 i'm not 100% sure but, i think you need to change the ball and arm as well. Not just the cables. edit: no bueno on putting a bolt, it needs to be able to move on that ball. Call a dealership for Volvo and ask them for the proper ball - and ... cables. Also, never over tighten your bleed screws. You only want to snug them because of several reasons, but the two most important. 1. you'll damage the seal surface 2. you'll never get them off once corrosion sets in - and it always does.

Yeah it almost looked like an old Volvo commercial film

Holy hell man. I'm speechless. This is your first video that I watch. Just wow! Congrats on everything. Amazing car.

11:45 - I'm pissed... This has become my favorite youtube series of late and have enjoyed the build a ton. It's really the first car build I've ever really watched. I've always liked cars, but didn't know much about them, but this has taught me a lot about cars and is starting to inspire me to try and tackle some of my own projects. I've only owned one car in my life for 6 years now. I own a 2008 Ford Taurus and it is obviously and old persons car, but I love it, and so do the people that ride in it. It has 200k miles on it and I keep it in really nice condtion. This series has inspired to simply just take car of my car beyond what I normally do to hopefully get another 100k miles out of it! Can't wait to see the next project!

Never tighten those bleed screws that hard as you did in 14:25 . You're only supposed to tighten them just a tiny bit, so they don't come loose or bleed, they will otherwise become a problem. I've changed hundreds of these bleed screws in casr, for being overtightened and then rusting out. Otherwise, a great video, watched a bit fast, but im a huge fan in this v70r series. Keep up the amazing videos, youre going to go far with your vids. I'll remember these times when you're in a big shop creating beautiful cars after cars.

Stuff like that. I am NOT afraid of this guy...

Congrats from a Honda guy from Indy. Really, really happy for you and to say I enjoyed your series is to understate how much pleasure I received by following your journey. Looking forward to the next one.

The car looks and sounds incredible and I love your production quality in this. The driving shots at the end literally look better than Volvo's own marketing material for the V70. So good!

Yep, then theres one car from mercedes from same era, w124 500e amg :D But the Volvo 850 T5-R is the legend

I can't believe it's already over! I also can't believe how well that sounds! The coil-overs make the whole affair look so much better as well. Really suits the whole R-spec! Top shelf!

Congrats brother, I had an '04 S80 as a teenager and I miss it very much. This whole series was very nostalgic for me!

The quality, tempo and presenting is absolutely on the highest level in my opinion! I love the car and the modifications to it. Watching you build that car is insanely enjoyable I'm staying till the end of this build

The production quality on these videos are crazy, keep up the good work man!

I wish. I only saw one of those and it was a beautiful shade of purple. Very cool cars, but not many of them made it to the midwest part of the US.

I absolutely LOVE this series, I started following a while ago for photography, but cars are right up my alley as well. Love the channel, keep doing this!

The colors on that footage, the whole project, your channel, just pure perfection. I saw that you uploaded on my phone, and wanted to watch you on a big screen! Way to go mate! What a series!

21:32 - Sheesh, panning shots with THAT song I've listened thru all of these episodes. I'm happy you delivered the final product and the Lolvo haven't ended at the junkyard.

Loved how excited you were when everything started coming together and the cinematography towards the end was wonderful - really a satisfying ending to the project :)

Wake up babe WheelemVerb uploaded.

This car is my dream wagon. So glad to see someone appreciate it as much as I do. Awesome build dude.

I’ve been watching this build since day one and I can definitely say that I am truly impressed and so happy to see that your project finally came together in a culmination that was completely deserved. it’s pretty impressive that this was your first project of this level of intensity, but you also made it into some incredible content, on a platform that is actually rarely built. Great job!!

Wow, amazing! How skillful and knowledgeable you are. I love my 2014 V70. Many thanks from UK

The V70 has always looked phenomenal and still holds up very well. Nice to see someone have a good time with it. I might however like the 850 T-5R a tiny bit more in its delivery yellow to be one of the most badass volvos :)

So glad I happened to find your channel near the start of the series! It's been such a great journey watching you fix up the old Volvo. I've always loved wagons, and the old V70R's are so incredibly cool. It's so great to see an old machine like that get the love and care it deserves. Great work man.

I watched your whole series, can’t wait to watch your channel grow with the amazing content you put out. Incredibly inspiring ❤️🔥

Been watching the build from the beginning I love the content and the audio quality as well as visual I also love the fact that u take the time to explain the whole process to ppl who might not know a lot about car so from car guy to guy props to u mate 🍻I’m currently working on my 2002 ford f150 extended cab as well

I am loving this channel. Production value is amazing! Also there are NO gimmicks, just someone working on their car! Love it!

Bruh, love that I found this. Awesome video. Awesome build. Looking forward to seeing your future videos and watching this channel grow. Keep at it. You've got the formula down, now all it takes is time and you're there bro.

Such a great series, beautiful camera work! Congrats on the build. Looking forward to the next one.

Pro tip: If you let the tubing from the caliper into your drain bottle go all the way to to bottom of the bottle. You'll create a check valve of sorts for air. So you can bleed the brakes yourself by pumping the brakes and leaving the hose end submerged in the fluid. It will keep air from going back into the tube.

Another mountain of work done bro 💪🏻. The front end looks absolutely amazing. Fantastic work again 👍🏻👍🏻

Great job all around with this build, man. You’ve got a great, positive attitude and your editing is on point. You should be very proud. Your hard work paid off. Keep this up and your channel will grow quickly. Looking forward to your next build.

Well done mate. Have thoroughly enjoyed your series and learned so much! The car is sick 🧱💨

The definition of car guy logic, dumping the equivalent of a house down payment into a money pit of a scrap car and smiling ear to ear at the final result! Love it. Just found your channel, looking forward to 996 videos.

Really enjoyed this, great work - I always loved this rapid Volvos!

Man I love this video it's so relaxing to watch. The trial & error & diagnosing is also very informative. Over 10 years ago I also had one of these (well, an S60 and not an R though but it was a turbo 5 c yl) and it's the most comfortable and reliable cruiser I had.

Love this Channel. Good decisionmaking when it comes to the parts. Your voice is so calming comparing to a lot of other youtubers. Great Series all in one all. Looking forward to the next Project

Brooo, this is so sick. I really appreciate these types of nose dive kinda projects and was excited for the outcome. Props to you sir for keeping these cars alive. Claps🎉

I rarely enjoy youtube so much but you made it great for me. Keep it up man cant wait to see more!

this is one of the coolest, cleanest, and most unique builds I've seen. 10/10 content quality btw. Would rather watch this than 90% of cartubers out today.

watched your photography videos for a long time and had absolutely no idea there's another channel. just love it mate, keep it going!

Well done completing a vision you had. So many channels don't get to this point. It's been tremendously enjoyable seeing your growth and cinematography skills improve over time.
