Picked her up a bit over two years ago IIRC from the original owners. I have virtually all the records from new. PO leased her and then bought her when the lease was up. Since having money is dumb, today I picked it up from the shop where I had the following installed: Koni adjustables IPD springs IPD adjustable panhard bar IPD swaybars BNE strut mounts BNE end links BNE adjustable track rods Already have a...

The patient here is a 1990 volvo 740 GL wagon, i wanted to fix the tailgate/hatch opening mechanism(i don't know the correct name for it) bc right know i can only open it from the inside of the cargo space, i have to take off this plastic trim, i already managed to unscrew the plastic screws but something is holding it very tightly in the middle and im afraid i would break it, what i found on other forums didn't really help so if someone can show me in a picture on how should i pop it out...

Well, here goes again! After selling my G-Wagon, I wanted something that was better suited to a daily driver, and something that got better than 15mpg on the highway... So, I bought another Prado: This one is a 1991 SX5 with an R150f 5-speed manual. It is absolutely bone stock, with a whopping 107k km on the clock. Factory electric winch (as far as I could tell it had never been used till I got it), and an original cylinder head. So far I have put about 2000km on it in my... Read more

Busy season for people wanting to unload their Volvos to me, I guess. A couple weeks ago, I'd posted a thread when I got one of the routine "hey please buy my Volvo" messages. The guy felt defeated because he couldn't fix his car and offered it to me for $500. While I wanted the car, I showed him how to fix it instead and he's a happy camper... hoping it'll be good karma or whatever. Maybe fate was keeping my parking space clear for this: Friend reached out wanting to unload a 1984 Volvo... Read more

I have been wanting to upgrade my radio in my 92 740 wagon. Double DIN seems the way to go, but it seems to really get in the way of the fuses and relays. So, to the people who have done a double din do you like it and was it worth the troubles? Any recommendations on radios? The Android units look nice, but I am not sure about them since I tried one of those Android audio screens that lasted two days and returned it. buggy and painful to use.

hello all, very new here Have wanted a Volvo wagon all my life and i won an amazing one in the last 2 weeks - all good until now She starts, but after about 2-5 mins as she warms up she stutters, and is about to die then fights back and so on until she eventually dies. when i give a little gas it makes it worse and i even hear some pop back. she will start again straight away but soon dies again. I have read through lots of posts across the web and have done this so far (please bear in... Read more

Purchased NA Stage 2 chips a few months ago. They made the car run poorly. Bad AFRs. I reached out several times. I finally received an apology email about the delay and he would get in touch soon. I waited and waited. Nothing. Emailed a few more times and nothing. I know he setup a new location and was busy but, come on. I got chips that are not great and absolutely no support..

Thought I would start a build thread on my car since I'm in the middle of the process now. A few may have seen my previous build on a 1992 740 turbo wagon, it was hit by a car that was parked behind it that was hit by a Uber Eats driver who feel asleep at the wheel. the rear wagon area was sagging and when we got it up in the air it was def a loss as with frame damage and the frame cracked at the lower portions of the bend. the build thread on that one is here...

Turbobricks · Marvelous3 · 9 Nov 2026

I've had this car for a couple of years now so I guess it's time for a project thread. This is my third 240 now with my original 1991 240 sedan, that I had from 2002, fell victim to a Mercedes rolling a stop sign in 2019. The red 240 16 valve turbo wagon I sold to one of my friends at work so rather than it rotting in my driveway it rots in his. I got this car with the idea of it remaining mostly stock as something I could just drive, enjoy with my son, and work on from time to time. I'm... Read more

Mazdas247 · Coredawg · 8 Nov 2026

Hello all. I am usually over in the Protege5 build forum ( Laser Blue Protege5 Build ), but I am embarking on a new project, in addition to keeping my P5 going. I've had Mazdas for many years and finally got ahold of one I have been seeking. It's rough, but also didn't cost a great deal. It's running and with a tune up and some wear and tear replacement, it will be on the road in Southern Arizona. The paint, interior, suspension and wheels will come after it is running well again...

Hi, I'm from France and I have started to swap my 740 D24 wagon with a D5252T 2.5 tdi engine. I'm basically doing the same thing as this guy did : https://turbobricks.com/index.php?threads/white-940-2-5tdi-wagon.357583/ So nothing new, but it's my first swap and not so easy for me. For the moment I did a couple of things : find a doubtful engine, shortening the oil pan and pickup tube, engine mounts, etc... Today is the day the volvo enter the shop for the last time with suffering... Read more

For B Bodies Only · Kern Dog · 7 Nov 2026

I have not. Not the cars I kept anyway. It is not for a lack of imagination. I had a worn out 74 Dodge truck that I called "Old Shitty". It was an appropriate name for a truck that leaked, smoked, was as noisy with the windows up as it was with them down. In 2013 I picked up a 75 Power Wagon that is a much better truck but I call it New old Shitty, or NOS. (Pronounced Nohss) I see so many professional shop built cars being introduced with names and I don't know what to think of it. Is it... Read more

I've had my 80 series for a few years now. I've put almost 120 thousand km's on it, its up to 612000kms at the moment. Its done me well, Mechanically its faultless. But I want more horse power. Ever since I bought it, I've wanted to put a big American diesel engine in it. Wanted to keep it a diesel because its more of a work horse than an off roader. Its always been a toss up between either a Duramax or a... Read more

I been talking to a local Amazon owner (Jay) for a while now and he mentioned a few times over the years that his mom has a wagon that needs some work. She bought it back in 1993 and stopped driving it around 2010 after it developed some issues. He parked it inside after draining all the coolant and gas out of it back then. I didnt think much of it until my son mentioned he wanted a car... This weekend we finally had time to go and get it, he just turned 16. Car lived most of it's life... Read more

Turbobricks · Amazon driver · 3 Nov 2026

Hello. I’m dealing with rattling and whining on a D-type M4 in 3rd gear all other gears are good. It shifts fine. Emptied out oil and found metal filings on plug magnet. It came out of a P1800 probably mid ‘60s, unknown mileage. What typically is the cause of this? I installed it on my ‘67 122s wagon with the drive shaft shortened and balanced.

RamForum · Burntman0331 · 3 Nov 2026

I need to replace my front shocks and want to make sure I order the correct ones. I’m not really towing so from what I’ve read on here the Fox 2.0s are good. I’m not trying to upgrade really. I did put 35 inch tires on the truck so my Main question is, does the power wagon have a factory 2 inch lift? Meaning when I’m looking at shocks should I buy the ones that say 0-2 inch lift?

I found the source of the horrific rattle on my 1994 940T wagon, the resonator is totally fried. https://imgur.com/a/cA0JXBc For the amount of work to get it off there I'm considering doing a complete exhaust replacement. Does anyone make/sell a decent off the shelf exhaust system in the U.S.? My initial searches haven't been too fruitful. There are some nice looking options coming out of Europe but the international shipping is a real downer. Car is bone stock, typical maintenance items handled and... Read more

I am getting ready to start my G56 swap on my 17 power wagon. Truck has about 92k on it and I smoked the overdrive clutch in the 66. Totally my fault, I'm an idiot. I have wanted to do this since I bought the truck 3 years ago so the trans losing 4th, 5th and 6th really just gave me the perfect excuse. I have found a 2006 hemi g56 and ordered just about everything I can think of. I'm sure there will be a hurdle or two. I have tuning lined up from AJ at hemifast and should get that at the end...

Been active on other For Only sites for the better part of decade or more. Tried logging in today and got kicked back that I wasn't recognized as a member, so I registered. Currently own an A and an E but am without a B body. Past B bodies I have owned - 68 Road Runner, 71 Satellite, 72 Sebring, 67 Satellite, 66 Coronet, 74 Satellite wagon, and a 70 Road Runner. Really, really wish I would have held on to those Road Runners, especially the 68 since my dad bought it new in the fall of '68.

This got a lot of attention on FB so I figured I'd make a post. TLDR: I 3D printed and installed bushings for an IPD torque rod on one side of my 240 wagon on 6 Apr 2025 @ 144xxx miles. I drive around 5000 miles a year, so we'll see how long they last. Back story: Last fall I noticed a torque rod hanging down when my wife pulled into the driveway. The chassis end bolt had come lose and backed out, and I lost the metal sleeve and one of the bushings. Unfortunately IPD doesn't sell... Read more

After many years of being Volvo-less, that has finally changed! I made the mistake of opening Facebook marketplace a few weeks back and a listing for a 122 wagon caught my eye. Rusty and non-running, it did say "Lowballers welcome." With nothing to lose, I sent an offer of $100, and was extremely surprised when the seller got back to me asking when I could pick it up! Some logistics juggling and a 4 hour round trip later, I had a 1967 Amazon wagon sitting in my driveway. Loaded up... Read more

I have had this 93 245 since 2018 when I bought it with 150k miles from Connecticut. It was rust free and overall in great shape for a New England 240. Downsides were that it had some body work and repaint on the driver rear quarter, it was auto and had a blue interior, which is not my preference. I have been working on it on and off since then and not driving it much. Goal for the car: Make a clean, reliable wagon, modified to what I imagine what a 1994 240 Turbo would be if Volvo had...
