Proper proper nice job there, I like you documented everything, from the damage in the old engine to the crack in the first engine, these things happen when you’re resorting. Brilliant how you’ve done everything yourself, the rebuild and the paint. I can tell you’re intending to keep that car for a very very long time as not only you fixed it but also rust proofed everything. I’m currently restoring a 940, it’s actually in really really good shape and hasn’t got any rust so I definitely want to rustproof everything now that it’s still clean before it gets worse. Those T5 engines sound gorgeous, I’d take one of the silencers out if I was you, then you’ll get a bit of sound out of the exhaust but not too much. Love that car, it actually is in really good shape, especially now. Glad to see it live on, perhaps for another 20 years who knows.

Wow this video blew my mind. I currently have a 2005 V70 2.4 and I absolutely LOVE it. But also quite a few of my friends have bought P2 V70s since as they love them. Still a very good looking car and from a generation where cars were engineered instead of built to a cost. I think it’s so much better to spend money on keeping these going - environmentally friendly as you are prolonging the life of the car and not filling a land fill. I’ve had 10 Volvos of all vintage but there is something about the P2 models that to me is the pinnacle of the Volvo wagon. All the strength and virtues of the wonderful 200/700 wagons but the class and modern look of the much newer V60, etc. I run a couple of Volvo groups on Facebook and have shared this video! Thank you for your hard work and love towards this beautiful wagon ❤️

Thank you so much. My thoughts exactly, you really do feel that the car is engineered to the highest level of performance and durability. Built to last, except the plastic bits :)) From an environmental standpoint this Volvo is already more economical and sustainable than any let's say Tesla produced today. You use resources only once, maintain and keep going practically forever. That's being sustainable. This is my first Volvo, definitely not the last. However, this car feels insanely close to being the 'ultimate' car. Of course feel free to share this video. Honestly I had no idea so many people would enjoy it so much. I was mostly recording for myself to keep track of the repairs :)) Thanks for all the kind words, much appreciated !

If this person is passionate about that particular make it's even better. And no.. Authorized dealers are not passionate 😊😊 Replacing seals always causes that particular element to build up more pressure, but blowing all the seals during the first test drive is unlikely 😊 Volvos are known to have PCV system issues if not replaced every 150kk, but that causes excessive crankcase pressure. I would have to see that myself 😊

Once the Volvo guys fixed the seals on one area, when he test drove it, the one seal on the other area hemorrhages. So hopefully when they take out the original crank shaft etc and fix this seal, it will be safer. I hope. It’s on great shape other than this oil leak. If it wasn’t leaking on the manifold, I probably would have left it alone. Has 208,000 on it. It is a tank in New Hampshire for sure. Hope they can revive the problem.
