Abandoned Volvo 745 Turbo in the Woods!

Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions! That's right, I bought another non running piece of Swedish perfection!
This car was in a collection of cars that sat after the owner sadly passed away. We have bought several of them and will be posting more videos as we work through them.
Please forgive my slow upload pace as I work a regular 9-5.

Had there been more sunshine available, I would have judged your gapping of the spark plug to be a Pinnacle in the Annals of Shade Tree Mechanicdom. Alas that there was no shade available. I hope that the end result of the rehoming of this Turbo Wagon is yet another Deanworthy machine.

Make sure you check your radio noise suppression relay and fuel pump relay. 740’s are notorious for not starting for a few simple reason. A quick google search will lead you to some old forums that give a extensive flowchart of no-start issues on 740’s and their solutions
