Grey 7/9 Bumper Resto - dyes?
By Alan29
I'm looking to somewhat restore the grey bumpers on my 92 745. I am aware SEM sells a trim paint that's a pretty close match, but I'm looking for something less involved. Years ago I used some black dye products on my 240 bumpers and it turned out pretty well. I've found one grey trim dye online but I'm unsure if it's going to be the correct color. Has anyone here found any dyes that work well? What about other products?
K-jet.org website down - collecting info to move to alternate web address.

Hopefully it's just a temporary issue, but http://www.k-jet.org/ is down. If anyone knows who runs it, please let them know. My research has hit a wall until they get it back up! Thanks, Jason

By mr brick driver
I thought sure that it would take a group 24. I bought one a brought it home and it does not have the provisions for the hold down. What is the factory battery that works? Thanks.
Tach lack ?
By kydave19
My work in progress: 1989 Volvo 240DL was rough when I recently bought it. No radio at all, just a hole, which I've now filled with a Sony AM/FM CD player successfully! However, my cluster has a clock (working) where I'd like to see a tach. However, I'm open to the possibility of putting a tach in the space to the left of the radio. Suggestions on whether it'd be cheaper and easier to leave the clock as is & install aftermarket tach (52mm?) in circled spot in photo or if I am likely to... Read more
(Not*) Mediocre 242
By t8fanning
I've had this car long enough. I figure it's about time to make a build thread. I got this 1982 242 turbo in May 2014 from Oregon. My family lives in Vancouver, WA, but I live in Utah so I had my brother pick it up for me sight unseen, and a few weeks later I flew out and drove it back to Utah without any problems at all. I don't have many pictures from when I first got it, but it was a totally stock, well sorted... Read more
MK1 IRS...springs and such
By Alan29
My 89 780 has a sick Carolina squat and IG cred tuck thanks to the expired Nivimats. I'm months away from doing anything about it but I'm starting my research now and I'm not finding a whole lot of info. End goal for this is a budget fun weekend car...more than likely some rally, rallyx, etc. The front end is going to need a suspension refresh as well and my plan was simply some better struts and fresh stock spec springs along with the usual tired components. I don't want to raise or lower... Read more
The Volvo-powered Willys CJ3a
By itlksez
I had a small thread elsewhere on here, but Photobucket tanked it. Rather than try to fix that one, I'll start over here. I'm 12 years deep into a build that is taking a 1949 Willys Jeep and a 1987 Volvo 740 to end with a very street and dirt friendly rig. Almost every part of this has been hand built. The following will be a story through pictures, since I don't have... Read more
740/940 t5 swap help needed
By Wesdunns70t5m
Hello all, I've been tackling a lot of big projects, and have got to a point I could use some help. Car in question is a 1991 740, originally aw71 and now going t5. The transmission is installed in the car with my modified crossmember. The part that is giving me the run around is the driveshaft angles... I was using an angle finder and set my engine/transmission at a 3° tilt relative to the car itself, as I read that is what it is stock. With that locked in, I installed the front half of... Read more
"Bad bulb" idiot light issue
By kydave19
As I'm bit by bit getting my new-to-me '89 240DL running right and safe to drive, I've cleaned/replaced bulbs and fuses. With the lights on or off and the brake pedal depressed, everything looks correct when looking at the rear of the car. No missing lights, including the brake light in the rear window. However, when I press the brake pedal, the idiot dash light comes on. Any idea why?
Minimalist smog removal?
By kydave19
If one lives somewhere without any annual smog checks and doesn't plan on selling the car, how much smog crap can you remove from a 1989 240DL (5-speed manual, non-turbo) to make it run best and get best MPG?
Door lock rod clip? 1990 Volvo 245
By Thoragaverung
Hi, I spent some time this morning swapping my outer driver's door handle into the rear door on my 245 and the handle from the rear door forward. The driver's handle wasn't broken but it has lots of slop. I figured it was better to have a sloppy handle on the door tht is rarely opened. Apparently while fiddling around I knocked the rod loose in the rear door that connects (ultimately) to the lock knob. You guessed it, the door would not open. It tok me an hour to remove the door card from... Read more
1985 245 fuel pump wiring
By Tfrasca
From everything I can find, fuse 4 powers the in tank pump and 6 powers the main pump. Wiring diagrams that I've seen show a wire coming out of fuse 6 straight to the main pump. On my car, I can fully remove #6 and the car runs fine. There's only one red +12v wire coming into fuse 6, nothing coming out. There's a 25a blade fuse coming off the bus near the battery. Obviously pulling that will prevent the car from running, but I thought that was for the whole LH system, not just the main pump... Read more
