If you own one of these excellent Cars, keep it. The engineering and the quality is brilliant and Most of the DIY Jobs are easy to do. Our 740 Kombi will never BE for sale

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

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

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

I use Miracle Paint for those kind of rust repairs. Seems to work and nothing I have treated has shown any rust, despite not removing absolutely every bit of it. I can highly recommend that product.

Hi bro - from Baku Azerbaijan - Absheron Peninsula/ Very good jobbb 🤞🤞✌

Excellent methodical approach to all your videos. Very impressed by your attention to detail. Learning lots of helpful info for my own Volvo 940 project

Four Videos, four Times good Work. Thank you.🙂

Oh wow, 15:20 rust pile is not something we have to deal with here in north Texas. Just a little rust. Nothing like what you have to deal with.

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 recently bought my first 945 turbo, i have no mechanical experience whatsoever, so these videos are helping me alot! great videos, really appriciate it!

SUPER VOLVO I LOVE THIS ONE V6 740

Great job but you should replace the brake plate otherwise you will get all the grit ,sand and muck go on your brake pads which will affect your braking in time.

Nice

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 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

Awesome tutorial on how to change the parts and save money

Gillar verkligen dina videos. Tydliga och intressanta, lärande 👍😄

Respect, like to see this

Really don't see the point in changing the springs and not changing the shocks, especially with MacPherson struts.

I just bought these same springs! Thanks for this insightful video. It’ll make my install a lot easier.

Ejo, great job, got no words to say how much I enjoy seeing alllll episodes of this wonderful car. Congrats!

Awesome car you have there. Thank you for a nostalgic video!

I owned a few of these volvos they were great cars.

Greetings from Alabama!

Hallo from Indonesian....#volvo740.

You can skip the spring compressor step on the front end if you just unbolt/rebolt the strut when the car is on the ground. Thanks for the video, just watching you work under there helps me learn a lot. Just picked up an 89 wagon. Subscribed!

Love your series. Intelligent and precisely instructive. As I said in another of your videos, I am facing the same work on my 945. Inspiring and helpful. Thanks.

Älskar dessa videorna

Love you content!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

You make it look easy! Hoping to get a volvo in the next year or so, so seeing stuff like this is really useful!

Vad roligt det är att följa din kanal och renoveringen av din Volvo. Utmärkta kameravinklar, Bra tempo i videon, pedagogisk och du pratar utmärkt engelska! För en kontorsråtta som mig som vill lära mig mer om men är detta en guldgruva. Heja dig!!

Hello. I enjoy very much the videos you are doing and the way you are working on the car. Keep up the good work and hope to see more of your projects. Already subscribed. Many thanks !

knotted wire brush for the angle grinder and away with this rust....may be sand blast afterwards...then rust converter....after all paint with 2k paint...and then finally grease it with wire rope grease....and use the car the next 30 years

im fronm indonesia l bought 740gle last month, and the major problem came from fuel distribution, that part are very difficult to find at market, but thanks anyway for your project

Trevlig kanal och mycket mer detaljerat än många andra 🤘

Thanks mate! i need to do the same work on mine too.

Riktigt bra video! Lärorikt och intressant.

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. 🙂

Mycket bra kanal👌 Gillar du visar allt så detaljerat.

Väldigt intressant å rolig kanal, gillar att du är nogrann med det du gör å förklarar väldigt bra 😁

bravo for your work :-)

my volvo 744 is like a $600 project

Mkt bra video Tack👍

Love it

How did your 740 GL pass a government inspection with such a huge hole in the floor pan? Don't they check for such things?

16:51 Visserligen kan fälgen en gång i tiden suttit höger bak. Men ha blivit en Vänsterhjul när man bytte däck. Men det är alltid noga att kontrollera rullriktningen.

Were those shocks and struts still good?

Did you sell it?

As a fellow 740 owner, subbed! I wish parts were cheaper for me but it's painful to ship to Singapore haha. Keep up the good work man!

Who thumbed this down? Jealous Saab owners?

Nice catch with the bolt bro. Hey I know you have answer this before but can you let me know the link of that jack and whether it is safe to get under it? Thanks.

Tjena! Hur är komforten med fjädrarna? Förstår att det är stor skillnad jämfört med original. Men är det väldigt styvt/hårt? Är det stor skillnad på t.ex motorvägskörning? Bra video förresten!

Bra video! Hur vet man om det bara fjädrarna som ska bytas eller om dämparna behöver bytas med?

Did this lower the car?

please tell me how low the springs were,so i can get a good reference on the springs im thinking of getting! King Springs SL (-30mm Height)

Are you planning on doing any performance mods?

Hi! Perfect video! Where you buy the lowered springs?

Where did you get the caliper?

Vart har du din lokal och hur mycket kostar den / mån?

Hi, where can i get those springs from ? Thank you !

первым делом что нужно было сделать, это помыть её как следует снизу.

where did you get the springs?

Sad you don't follow up on the budget.. :/

Gillar din videos, får man fråga vart i landet du befinner dig?

What lift do you have?

Not a torque wrench in sight?

Funderat på att beställa ny regplåt? Kostar inte mycket och gör ganska stor skillnad! :)

Doy link... Excelente
