I thought you were a genius when you twin turbo converted your gallardo. Thought so even more when you built the volvorghini. Now you have stepped it up yet again and building a mid engined twin turbo v10 volvo. This will be amazing. I love your work peter

I already thought the Volvoghini was a crazy project but this is just nuts.

Hey Peter, if you are looking for inspiration on the rocker panel removal look at some "mini trucks" from the American hot rod scene. A "Doored" truck has the rockers completely removed to achieve minimum ride height where the bottom of the door is the lowest point on the vehicle. Great place to look for ideas to solve that issue. Doing that will let you lower the body down farther and integrate nicely into the flat bottom of the vehicle. Not to mention, it looks very elegant if done well. Good luck! And I hope you are going to use some massive over fenders and a wide body kit to keep the R8 track width! Awesome build, i can't wait to see more!

It will be sooo cool to follow this build,, 👍‍‍😎👍‍‍ Thank you kindly for sharing Peter,, ❣🙏❣

From work to sofa. Perfect timing!

Anybody watching using Celette MUF 5 / 7 type bench, just be aware they actually can flex if not on an even floor. I use a MUF 7 and level it with a precision spirit level: it doesn't need to be 'level' usually, but just jacked in lowest corner to take out twist. Amazing how much they move and I suspect over the years there must have been thousands of cars 'straightened' on slightly twisted jigs. An old car scissor jack is perfect for the low corner: lift until twist is gone and it'll sit there for as long as you need, perfectly accurately (unlike a hydraulic jack potentially).

Du ä otroligt duktig så spännande å följa

Love it! Really looking forward to following this project 🙂 Hello from U.K. btw!

Thank you for taking the time to talk about your project in depth. It is nice that you share your knowledge. I am very much looking forward to following the project.

Would it be easier to cut the body of the car in half and just put in a strip in the roof making it wider...I guess the dash probably wouldn't fit flush! I'm sure it will look great with wide fenders tho.. Always look forward to seeing your projects videos, you never disappoint!

Fantastic build, will be watching your progress. Docol R8 is an excellent tube, used it for Race Car and Hot Rod builds in New Zealand.

Kind of insane your skills

This is awesome. Exactly the kind of stuff I would build if I had the money and the ability. Can't wait to watch it come to together

I’ve been waiting for you to build this for 10 years, I knew you’d go mid engine on a Volvo eventually ❤🙏👏👏👏

You are living the dream Peter ! Enjoy the process and have fun . Hope you are well and in good health !

Great to see you in full gear again! Such a cool built. Greetings from Germany

Amazing build and plan. Always Quality and well explained. I'm so looking forward to more of this.

Very interesting Peter! I'm enjoying this build, looking forward to seeing how you progress. Always fun to learn new skills, and to make new tools. Hope you are keeping well and enjoying life.

The vapor honed parts turned out so good. They look perfect.

Awesome build! Can't wait for the next episode! Please hurry up! 🙂 Great work, Peter!

Nice work, I'm enjoying learning from you. From start to finish

hands down the sickest build on youtube 🎉

Peter this is going to be a brilliant project and we can see it starting to come alive can't wait for your next upload

What a fantastic project!!🤩 I will enjoy following your fine build!

Grymma grejer och byggen som alltid ! 💯

Never a dull moment for Peter. Love it!

did not know about docol steel! interesting! great build, eager to see future episodes!

This looks like a cool project to watch. Best of luck. Looking forward to you videos.

Awesome, I'll watch with dinner tonight.

What a nice build ! I like your videos a lot and i can't wait for the next update ! Greetings from Belgium !

This will be epic with your approach Peter, we have every faith it will be awesome. Make sure the engine is easy to remove once built to save lots of time to swap/repair etc

nice! was looking forward to the next episode. keep up the good work! greetings from Germany

With another great episode over, i guess it's time for me to go back to my workshop. Or as you swedes would say, "Här blir det inga barn gjorda"

Peter you need to RELAX ok this is gonna be mental. LOVE IT

As always amazing work, please keep the videos coming

Fyfan vad sjukt det kommer bli!! Riktigt skillad är du! Take care

Great project. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Such an underrated channel but continue the awesome content like always

Love your work Peter! Keep well

This is going to be absolutely bonkers!

Heja Peter! Alltid lika kul med din filmer och projekt!!

This is incredible and inspiring- looking forward to next vid. Call it storm ! 😂

You have some of the best projects

Grymt läckert kommer det bli är jag säker på. Looking forward to see all of The work

Volvaudi ;) Great Crazy Project Keep it up *****

In my limited experience, trying to integrate an OEM subframe into a tube frame seems like a time saver in the beginning but ends up causing a lot of headaches and often you start over without the OEM subframe. You don’t gain much by using the Lambo/Audi subframe and you spend more time trying to solve the problems it creates. Maybe for this type of project it will work fine but attaching the subframe to the tube chassis is already creating more work and complexity, maybe even a compromise in strength. Also, your practice welds look like spot welds linked together. Which wouldn’t be acceptable. Maybe I’m wrong about them being spot welds. I’ve been a subscriber and fan for a few years now so I don’t want to come off as a troll.

Im enjoying the content. Looks like it's going to workout good.

Cool project Peter.

looking awesome ! Hermod the Swift, he was called upon by the other gods when they had a task requiring speed and urgency.

Todella hieno projekti!!

Incredible skills brother!

Definitivt coolaste bygget man kan tänka sig 🤘

hi peter. greetings from NYC. love your unique car content!

I use a high frequency pulse. 120 pulse per second. 20 % background at about 160 amps but use the foot pedal. You can punch it through, see it and back off to about half pedal, move, repeat. You don’t want to back off too much, as that can make weak points. Try a number 12 cup and set the flow to about 30-35 and run the post flow10-12 sec. Do a bit and move, to let the heat dissipate some. Maybe. Hope that helps or gets you closer to where you want to be sir. Love the channel.

really exited to see more of this build:D

Hi Peter, Very much liking the project and progress. Great job! Such a shame that your not using a two door Volvo body. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Western Australia.

Midengine souds nice. Best grip. Good luck !!

Can't wait to see this run 🙂

Looks like Sreten at M539 Restorations has cleaned the suspension parts on the Vixen aqua blasting machine.

What a cool project 🤘

this build going to be interesting 😎

Love it ❤ keep up the good work

Ser fram emot den här videon!

I don’t think you will have a problem with your welding inspection, very nice welds.

Excellent build Peter! I like your idea of running fuel lines through the chassis. Actually I have seen guys run the coolant through those tubes, you should consider this also. And I agree you should trim the sills to lower the body. Having it shorter and flush with the chassis tubes with a smooth flat bottom will look awesome AND give good ground effect down force at high speed. I am curious how you will connect the steel to the aluminum chassis. The best in my opinion would be a block or shaped steel tube inside the aluminum tubing to prevent it being crushed and to spigot the joint then bolt through both. Really looking forward to seeing your car come together. And those are impressive rules for building, very nice. Thanks for sharing

I love it. Keep it up.

Interessant å følge 👍

Thank you for the video

this is a wery wild projekt and i love it.. you should make a big naca duckt in the roof to feed air into engine

I'm loving this series (but long live the Volvoghini - I have the sweatshirt!)

One of the gartest projects in Europe 😍 Make it as stock as possible from the outside. Only big fender flares and welded steel rims for the tires. And I would polster up the seat with the oem textile.

Jäklar vilket vuxenpussel ni har gett er in på :D Äntligen en ny video, bra jobbat! rör-britt var ju gulligt, men Pip-Harry ha ha

Ja det är så gud förbannat jäkla ballt! Grymt spännande att följa med på resan! :)

Kul projekt ! Och vi köpte in en likadan kallsåg på jobbet. Funkar väldigt bra till ett vettigt pris

The mad scientist !

Nuce welds , hope they pass you , good luck with the prancing moose 😂

Volvo Röracán maybe? Awesome videos! Greetings from Holland

This would look so good with a chopped top!

Well done Peter, i often find that if you do listen too much to critical youtube comments ("you cant do this, you must do that, you should of....blah blah") you become paralysed and make no progress whatsoever. I commend your thoughtful and innovative approach. Please continue the great work and the entertaining uploads. Regards, Matt

Världsklass ❤

First like, then watch. Never dissapointing

So sick

Can't wait to see the Volvo R8 driveing.

Cool car, I like the R8 tube you are using, I’m interested to see what the welding inspection shows with you using the pulse tig settings

cool project, really like how you just turn your hand to new things, you could do a roof chop to get better aero rather than chopping the rockers?

Hello Peter, Nice job, i always enjoy watching your vidéos. How about lowering a little bit the roof? Not too mutch but maybe five centimeters to make it low profile. I can’t wait till the next vidéo. Bye

Jävlar va ball den kommer bli !

he inside of the threshold boxes is vertical saw out 3 mm tiknes and as long as the chassis cut off the pieces that stick out so you can bring the chassis down over them weld all the pipes phase in the inner edge of the threshold boxes so the floor is fixed in all the pipes +rectangular pipes must be attached together

Only one thing i would do. To build the cage is the back part of the tube is the chassis. More space in the cabin and more effective use of material.

After you done this project, please visit Misha at Nurburgring for test drive :) I think he gonna love this

You have the legacy of both the audi r8 and the docol. R8 would spell out råtta (rat) in swedish. Pushing the conotations further you could also include Ratfink and that part of hotrod history. Maybe RåttBritt?

Maybe call it Volvo R8! Those tubes are fab

now you have a floor that is attached to the engine shell, if you measured carefully, you can cut away the sheet metal on the inside of the chassis, if this sheet makes noise, you can lower the chassis lower than where the pipes end and make the car lower, measure carefully with a laser, attach the chassis, check that everything is in place the right doors fit, etc. then weld everything carefully now you have a body that works

@PeterBjork As for fuel lines, not sure if you are allowed to have them inside the tube frame. Pretty sure you can have them through the coupe however but there can't be any joints inside the car, and i think the line has to be of a certain thickness.

Makes me want to get myself learing tig welding. I have a machine but time and health is a problem. I even have a car to make into a track too.

If all you need to bridge is 200 mm in width, then I think a set of box fenders a la Audi Quattro/Delta Intregrale would look great and really suit the square slabby 244

Move the B pillar back and use doors from a 242, make a 3 door Volvo 240 Estate!

Can I have a neighbor like you? Pleaase ❤ Thank you for the lesson, I didn't even knew about docol, appreciated

Rather than cutting the rockers, you might consider a roofline chop. But I don't know if you want to use the original doors and windows, which would be difficult if you do that.

ground up with a plan..awesome work
