now this is quality content if ive ever seen it

Everyone needs to have a guy like Hector.

Loving this. Not used to seeing “simple” car content. Everything on KZfaq always has to be so extra. Still a shit ton of work I’m sure.

I believe that most of us want to see KZfaqrs succeed. The story is terrific and you share it in a logical way. Thanks.

i love how you're implementing your signature color palate into these videos

The chair for the transmission killed me, it's so funny but really clever XD That being said, I've found your channel less than a month ago, and watched almost all of your videos by now, and I have never found a car channel with such a good vibe. It's chill and very well detailed, I could watch hours of your car content really (I've already done it with all your videos) I love your editing style, and how you're so chill about everything, without being over the top like other channels I wish your channel to grow a good community of car people :D

I have you say it's fantastic to have someone like yourself showing that anyone no matter what their background can enjoy getting in the workshop and getting dirty. I often find as a mechanic it can turn people off from taking me seriously as a photographer and pushes me into a certain demographic. Massive respect for this Chanel and I hope that it will help open people's eye's to how creative both passions are 👊

I will say owning the very same model, this will be a very reliable car. As i commented in the earlier video, i got mine for VERY cheap and it is the best car i have owned. :D

Amazing! It is at once suspenseful and terrifying watching you get closer to starting the engine. Man, congratulations. This seems phenomenal for your first time. You're getting a lot of video made at the same time as well. One or two more episodes maybe until you drive it! Cheers!

What i like is tour ZEN approach to both photography and car renovating!

This channel is an absolute gem. Really happy I found you. Keep doing you!

bro, I love how excited you are for this channel, so so sick. Not many people I can think of that have an interest both film and automotive! Keep it up homie!

Boy i have no idea what this guy is talking about but i sure do love supporting him

this one was the most exciting fr!! when the car finally started it was so fireee

So wait this dude makes photography books, shoots celebrities, does commercial work and rebuilds cars too, cheers to you brother!!!! How can I buy a copy of your book or an older one? I don’t see them available on your site. Love your work.

Bro the quality on this channel and videos just in general is crazy. You should definetely have a bigger following. i came from the V70R video where you fixed the transmission & AWD and am now binge watching the rest of your vids

my favourite series on KZfaq right now

The moment the car started was a thing of beauty …… smooth and silent ,well done

I’ve been working on my Volvo 850 for three years now and daily driving it (it was supposed to be scrapped in 2019 but I took it instead), and I just love seeing more Volvo content! Especially with this level of quality. Can’t wait to see more!

Loving these videos - congrats on all the progress! Looking forward to following along as you build it out. Giving me inspiration to tackle more projects on my Land Cruiser 👌

Hi Willem! I have a 2004 V70 2.5t in need of some attention to get it road worthy. This series will be a major source of inspo! Awesome work, both on the car and the visuals!

so happy to see this come up!

Going crazy mane ! Love to see the progress and the way everything is being shot. Ready for the next video !

Something incredibly satisfying watching this all coming together

awesome series - keep it up Will

Man, you are crushing it! I am really enjoying your adventure and rooting hard for your success!

Keep it up dude, between this and the other channel you’re just killing it at youtube and life in general❤

You’re as inspiring as always. Keep it up!

Recently I started getting more into mechanics and this... this is the best of two worlds!

This is amazing! Cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪

The quality of this channel is super satisfying Willem, just outta the park.

great work guys!

Dude this is awesome! This makes me want to fix my Volvo 740 wagon! I just need to source and new transmission! I Love watching your videos and again I’m so excited you made a channel about cars!

this is so good man, keep it up!

Great choice for car! Love their Cross Country option 👍🏻

Really fun to watch!

proper heart wrenching stuff 👍

Great content, Ive got a v50 t5 with a 5 cyl turbo engine. Very reliable machines , never had a issue with it. 200k miles and still runs like new. Where do you live ? Amazing wheater btw.

Excellent vid man

Proficiat Willem, goed gedaan 👍

Verb, your idle issue reminds me of a leaking intake manifold gasket I had on my Subaru Legacy. Smoke testing wouldn't show a leak, it would hold pressure and boost well, but under vacuum (like off throttle and coming to a stop) it would leak and act like a vacuum line leaking, i.e. run very lean and stumble. Maybe this helps you a bit. I found the leak doing a reverse smoke test, smoking outside the engine and see where its drawn in while snapping the throttle.

I never knew I would be hooked up to an old volvo wagon engine swap videos but when its Wheelem you it's interesting.

Nice work man, on both the car and the videos.

awesome work willem!

I love the white color! Looks really premium! These here in europe regularly see 500k kms, no matter diesel or gas, these are reliable vehicles. wish you many joyful miles! :)

that one part came in clutch

@wheelemverb How much knowledge of engines did you have prior to this project and where did you start your research? Do you have any resources or advice? I have a 2003 Volvo v70 automatic base model with 234,000 miles on it. It was my parents car. Lots of memories and I’d love to keep it going as long as I can. Thanks!

Lmao the camping chair trans jack

yo, I don’t know jack shit about cars other than driving them but this is super cool.

Congrats to getting is stared 🤙🏻

Man, that's great work, keep it up! I just want to tell you that you are missing something that looks like a strut bar, but it's OEM and it's connected to upper engine mount :D

Good stuff. Subscribed. Did the machine shop press in all the bushings you needed? Did you have to source them? I would be curious to see more details on bushings for beginners!

Nice v70!!!!!🥰

So good!

you can use the B5252S flywheel manual with the clutch kit

Got to get me one of those.

Why did it feel like the clutch being the missing link was unintentional pun??? lol

"I'm currently balls deep in the ass of the process of fixing up an $800 Volvo..."

Good stuff! Did you have to update the engine control module to pair with the replacement engine?

Hey man did you replace all the engine mounts too? I bought an S60 and like all the mounts were crap. Really improves the driving experience if they're new!

Let’s goooo

epic

✌

how did you put a s80 motorn in a v70

Is this engine the 2.5 or 2.4?

Nice job, nice content! Are your roots or your family from Belgium or the Netherlands? You have zero accent but … the last name haha😂…

watching this is a guilty pleasure, are you convinced that anyone with google can do this? in terms of gathering knowledge :)

Superb...I own an 04 XC70...love it...and Volvo wagons......you've done amazing work...as has your buddy... Once all mechanically sound...you dress it...tint the windows...get a roof rack and cargo box on, get that Volvo Euro look...(has to be Thule though)....going to be epic

BUNG!!!

ЕТМ will fail

Is it possible if you can mention a link to the clutch and flywheel you got.
