No worries!

It’s basically a Mondeo and shares a lot of parts with the Mondeo as well

@pongsgarage yee i'm on that 2.0 ecoboost which i only realised after buying the car lol

At least it’s a 2.0. It could be worse

Haha, ja das ist ein einfacher Fehler

What an exciting project! I recognise the brake issues. At the moment, I can’t even get the rear drums of at all. They’ve become a solid part of the car. Where did you find the fuel gauge? Have you swapped the tank as well or just modified it for the sender?

@@pongsgarage I used a slide hammer/puller to get my rear drums off, they can be a swine. The fuel gauge was just a "2 inch fuel gauge + sender" off Ebay, about £12 ish. I cut a hole in the top of the original tank for the sender. It's not too difficult but the calibration can be a pain.

Sounds like I’ve got some fun for the winter. I figured it might be nice to have a fuel gauge so I might be installing one as well. I think I’m gonna have to try with the slide hammer then!

@@pongsgarage Yes, the 52mm fuel gauge will just fit into the hole where the "Mausekino" is. I put 13 litres of fuel into the tank, the bent the arm and float until the gauge reads 1/2 full. A slide hammer will pull off even the most stubborn brake drum. I'm upgrading my brakes with VW beetle parts, not easy, but do-able.

What do you have to upgrade to fit the beetle brakes? I’ve been thinking of at least getting 1.1 discs on the front but perhaps it’s easier to find beetle brakes, since there’s more of them around

Well spotted. Thankfully I have moved on from jack and high-viz to actually using jack-stands since 2021

I think it is yeah, if memory serves me right. Doesn’t quite fit for the video. The original sound got a copyright strike and this didn’t for some reason.

Why would I be?

I’ll see what I can do. Gotta fight the hand brake cable on my latest project first

The steering wheel is on the correct (Swedish) side, unlike on the mirrored UK cars;-)

Even for those who’ve read it, why not show it in action?

Exactly! Having a 945 is addictive

Great description of the little sneaky life hack for reinstallation!

Tan full leather is gonna look awesome!

Quite a handy feature. It saved me once as well!

It absolutely is!

Just as usual, Volvo are always quite far behind in gadgets. Audi is “Vorsprung Durch Technik“

I couldn’t be without a 940 in the end. Just to magnificent to be without

I think, though I’m not sure, all P3 cars have that feature

Alright! I didn’t know that. Just made a guess at it being a rev counter as it seemed to move according to the engine speed and not being standard as I’ve only seen it in a few Trabis. Learning every day!

It’s on the bottom of the seat, one has to feel for it as it’s almost impossible so see when the seat is mounted in the car. When the seat reaches the right position after some jiggling, it’ll just “pop” out of the car.

Still, could be worse…

Yeah it did take a bit of searching for it though the flexibility is of great help;-) Unfortunately Angie has moved out of the fleet since but she’s certainly not the last 100 C3. Those cars are just one of the greatest of the 80s! I’m glad you like the video as well!

My guess would be eBay or a scrapyard. The latter is from where I got mine.

@@pongsgarage yea I’ve been looking but unfortunately I’m not having luck due to them not being common here

I have one

And even when you know about the leaver, it can be hard to disengage the lock on some cars

Definitely with that manner of flying

@@pongsgarageno fuel tanks and everything wonder how many LBS of fuel he started with and how many he ended with

@@encryptedaviation1452 Started full, landed empty is my guess

Indicators will be easy. One of the only things which haven’t got any surprises on these cars.

Don’t let the colour fool you…

Great choice of car! I wish you many happy kilometres in it. I miss mine very bad to be honest. Nothing beats the grunt of the redblocks!

I’m pretty sure it was a Danish pilot, though I think the individual aircraft will be going to Ukraine later on when the F35s arrive to Denmark.

@@pongsgarage L'armée de l'Air du Danemark? La 53e Air force base US? :-)))

It’s the original Volvo R-Design exhaust system

​@@pongsgarage Ok. I' have the same model and my exhausts tip are chrome. It's also pretty in black 😉 Continue your videos. This car deserves it Greeting from France 👋

I think chrome was an option on some markets though I’m not sure. I’m not as good with the P3 specs as the older P80 and P90 cars. There’s gonna be more videos with Linus coming up as soon and spring arrives in Sweden. I’m just having a little winter break due to cold weather and snow.

How come you’ve got the manual but not the car?

I’ve never tried the Astra J but I’ve always thought of it as being a rather nice car. Not dull or boring like so many other cars from the 00s and 10s. It’s more of a happy little terrier from what I’ve heard.

@@pongsgarage It has an astonishingly good suspension capable of very high speeds, cornering and splendid control under any circumstances on any surface. It has interior quality miles above any VW or Audi. After 250 000 km it had NO wear signs whatsoever. It's a great looking, well though trough, well built car. Everything's perfect apart from the engine, mainly turbocharging and carbonisation in manual version (because of underrevving which auto doesn't allow) and the bloody awful old-ass GM auto. Which is a junk. Otherwise Astra J is one of the best cars in its class.

That’s right! Still a fun feature not all people know about.

That’s right. Global opening is quite an old thing though I decided to show it as most people I’ve met have been amazed that a Volvo has this feature.

@pongsgarage most people are amazed their own car has it. And they never even knew. Freelander, zafira, ford fiesta. Rover 820, rover 216 vittess.

To be honest, some people are even amazed by manual gearboxes and ignition keys nowadays.

@pongsgarage I hate both. Especially a manual. I've just had a clutch go on one. I'm never touching a manual again. Also I love not having to stick a key in. I don't like the ones when it unlocks when you're near. I'm happy with pressing an unlocked button on the fob but then I keep the key I'm my pocket and press the start button. I've had 2 ford's for the last 10 years simultaneously. The automatic without the ignition key. Is so much better for me than the manual with the ignition key. The latter should be going anytime soon.

We’re all different. That’s what makes us human. One person likes newer more automated cars. Another person prefers cars with more manual interaction. Luckily there’s car models for everyone in this world.

You’ve still got another 100,000miles + to enjoy them

It’s a 2011 V70 2.5FT R-Design

@@pongsgarage So I guess the V70 1998 mod dont have that windows gem`?? :

Biltema
