Pull the carpets out, the sound deadening underneath is probably soaked. It will start to stink!
START !!!??? I can smel it through UA-cam already. All carpets need scrapping.
This video deserves a million likes just because it's not called like DIRTIEST car ever DETAILING mold complete DISASTER *SATISFYING*
so true lol
*EMOTIONAL*
True 😂😂😂😂😂😂
These young guys rescuing a beautiful Volvo instead of buying it to destroy by "blowing the engine" or "smash it to a wall" ... There are millions of videos destroing old cars and i think that people are mental sick and when they grow old i wish they have the same treatment and destiny. This vídeo is the opposite. A group of friends working together to realize something good... My sincere congratulations. From Portugal.
Concordo plenamente 👌
Completamente de acuerdo!
Absolutely love these cars and I can’t wait to see what you guys do to it, keep up the amazing work!
Just bought a brick of my own and have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I was so excited when I found this series and can't wait to see what you do next!
Awesome ! I wish you a good luck on this restauration. Cheers from France
Vraiment cool ta dernière vidéo Anthony !
Merci!
Allez maintenant Volvo 2.0 HDi 🥴
France I would never go there they are rude
@@eddiemorris8849 what?🤔😂
I just ended waching gingium video about his volvo and now this. I just love this old boxy shaped cars
Same here!
Believe me, you’re going to keep finding little shards of glass for the next year from the broken window.
Recently, I found some glass shards in the front left door. I was surprised, because the window is original and have same produce year with the others.
@@RichardLorddeCameron could have been a window from another car was installed or they specially made / engraved the glass to make it seem original
@@codykamminga9667 engraved the glass to seems like an original, wtf dude hahahaha
@@7777Android believe me or not, it’s something they used to do, especially on higher value cars. To make it seem they never had any damage
The next year? Forever
The broken window spray with the cleaner had me laughing out loud, cheers from Sweden!
I had my laugh when the license plate light popped out during the pressure washing 😅
@@denisneurohr6598 Those licence plate lights are terrible for mounting properly. By now the tabs are weak, so it falling out is not a surprise. The good news is they are still available from Volvo for roughly €10 each.
Haha ja jag skrattade också👍🏻
You're right about the old broken things being cooler than new working ones. Great job all round i would say.
Another cool video. A bunch of spirited young lads working on old cars. A great thing to see. Big cheers from england👍
I have always loved the look of that era Volvo wagon. Good find and thanks for starting the process of bringing it back to life.
240s are fabulous old cars, glad to see them finally being appreciated for the solid, practical and usable classics that they are. The paint was of a very high quality and generally cleans up very nicely. Subscribed to follow the recomissioning of 'Greta', from a 244 owner and enthusiast based in the UK :)
She tidied up a treat man. Can't wait to hear it run! Regards from Ireland.
So refreshing to watch, an educated young man , who speaks immaculate English , came here watching your garage build with you father. You deserve more viewers . So different from watching Goonsquad who are aptly named by themselves. Well done, looking forward to more of your productions, keep safe from the UK.
It’s so deeply rewarding to literally bring something back to life. You’ve really got me seriously considering a old Volvo. Loved my C30 R-design., so miss it.
Just amazing how the Volvo's paint turned out after all those years out in the elements.Great video 👍 from Noosa Australia 🇦🇺
Shows how well built Volvo's are, I may sell my Volkswagen Passat estate for a Volvo estate after watching this 🤣🤣🤣
I have a '93 240 Estate, it's the best Volvo ever. Solid steel, strong paintwork and the upholstery is still like brandnew, like as in yours 👌😃
Well done!
The last yearmodel is usually the best! Does it still have the Classic-badges?
Looking forward to hear the engine starting after those years!
240 estates....wonderful cars. Incredible build quality. And all these years after they ceased production they still look "right". At 16:28 check out how she's a Range Rover lookalike!! Thank you for posting this. Greta has lots of life ahead of here now because of your efforts. Great job.
You need to get an under carriage attachment for your pressure washer, so much easier
go careful with the power washer underneath - managed to destroy a functional power steering line with a pressure washer. Of course when I was preparing to sell it!
All of your work on this Volvo is already paying off. That is a very good color for this car, and the interior seems to be in much better condition than I thought possible.
The highest quality products and paints were used by Volvo when they designed and built this car. I know because I owned a similar Volvo with the very same interior and paint colour. Either never showed any signs of wear, even after 20 years!
Love this, man!! My first car was an ‘84 240GL here in Texas (in ‘96). Brings back good memories of working on it as a kid. 🙌🏼
Thanks for preserving such a nice old swedish brick, it is a part of Swedens automotive heritage! 🥰
Oh man I've been waiting for this one! Volvo for life!
Ah, the good old days when estate cars were miles long, and the driver got to the destination 10 minutes before the back of the car.
4,7or4,8m isn't that long🤔
I miss the ol land yacht
You must be thinking of Yank estates from the 60’s and 70’s.
I absolutely love your channel man. I found you almost an year ago while searching for some mk1 golf videos, trying to learn more about them since i own one, but man you motivate me in so many ways. Congrats on your work man! And thank you for your amazing videos!
Enjoyed watching that lads, I run a pressure washing business in the U.K. and never get tired of seeing the transformation some carefully applied pressure can make. Loved the care and determination you all showed too. Amazing results and I’m sure it can only improve from this point. 👍
There's something extremely satisfying about cleaning a car that has been neglected for a while. Amazing how much of a difference a clean and a bit of a detail can do, it was the same for my E30 Touring. Very much looking forward to the rest of this series!
Pull the carpet, did it with my E30 Touring... so much rot underneath from leaky heatercore...
@@ZeroGravityShisha Good to know thanks! As far as I'm aware mine is fairly solid in the floor plan area, although I may take a closer look. I've had plenty of rust in other places though!
@@FootToPedal as far as i could tell from underneath it looked great. Once i pulled the carpet i realized i needed a new Floor.
@@ZeroGravityShisha Rust is always a scary one it must be said, my tailgate and wheel arches will likely need some attention this year too.
Come on man! Only 18 minutes long video,bro i need like 1 hour long,it's so satisfying to watch you guys work. All the best from Serbia,tomorrow im buying Mercedes 190e 1988,wish me luck :D
Good luck with the 190E
The Merc 190 was the last of the great Mercedes.....they are bullet proof!
@@lincolnengland5005 true. That's why I drive a 79 300SD (W116)
Did you buy your 190e?
@@TranceAholicCarl9088 im still considering buying it,because tbh it need a lot of work to put into it and the seller doesnt want to put price down...
I am happy you guys take the effort to save this wagon. Keep it up.
I really love this channel Memphis. Amazing work, Im enjoying every millisecond of your videos
10 minute gang. I just discovered you last night. Watched all videos and can't wait. You're like the belgian ChrisFix. I love your series. Keep it up and I hope Garage Part 3 comes out soon.
These cars ran forever...I remember seeing a 240 with almost 500,000 miles..The owner took great care of it ...
This makes me so happy :). It is`nt every day you come across a Volvo 240 D24, at least not here back in Norway. Seeing you guys taking care of her makes me wanna do it myself. Thank you for doing this
I had the very same interior - trim, seats, colour and material - on my '86 240GL. In my opinion, those seats and the covering are the best that Volvo ever produced. The BASF Glasurit paint used on this vehicle is about the best paint out there. Because of the high quality products that Volvo used on this vehicle it is no surprise that Greta cleaned up as well as she did! I'm really looking forward to seeing your restoration go forward on this beautiful 240GL Diesel.
I'm enjoying this, good job, and looking forward to seeing you fix the mechanical problems and then drive it !
This, this does put a smile on my face.
That paint is awesome! Wish my one of my 240's had that colour. Great work so far with rescueing the car. It makes me happy to see. I'm looking forward to see the coming episodes with this Volvo!
Great job, and well done for saving it. We had one of these as a family car in the ‘80’s. It took us all over Europe on family holidays and was built like a tank! We had the 240GL petrol.
Amazing job. Can’t wait for the mechanical videos.
hey dude, im from El Salvador, and I really enjoy your videos while working from home! keep up the nice
content!
As a Dutch Volvo 240 Estate owner I stumbled upon your channel. I love to work on my car as well and I like your channel so much that in the last couple of weeks I watched every video! From your Nurburgring adventures, to picking up the V8 Beamer in Germany, from getting the subframe done on the E28 to building the dream workshop with your dad. Love your humor, your passion for working on cars, and the way you bring everything into view, the successes, but the fuckups as well. Keep up the good work, and keep those vids coming!
Thank you for the kind words, Dennis
Great work guys. Looking forward to seeing the Volvo completed. Best wishes 🇬🇧👍👍

That yellow sticker is an Austrian road tax sticker! The numbers after the B will tell the year.
I think it's 2006, i am from Austria 👋😃
10 days.
Me: Sees video has been uploaded and instantly hits the like button ♥
Great work, mate! Keep it up :)
fantastic stuff, really looking forward to seeing more of this car.
It’s cleaning up beautifully and the paint looks very fresh now. Well done and keep up the good work. The mk1 golf looks stunning also.
As a Swedish person this makes me very happy
Nja jag gillar inte Volvo så mycket
@@saabwitha2.3turbo81 Och var är SAAB idag ? Nä just det. finns inte längre O.0
Japanese cars are better.
@@spaketticarbonada9651 What safety systems have Japanese car manufacturers invented to date? That's right, Zero.
Volvo has invented them all. Japanese carmakers are just imitating.
@@tomeng9520 Japanese cars will always sell better than Volvo. They are more reliable. Safety??? Who cares.
owner after wash: Oh, so it was blue. thought it was green 😅
Brilliant video to watch, looking forward and hoping to see it driving again.
Blown away by how well it looks! Can't wait for more videos 😁😁
Memphis: what i admire about most Europeans is that they know 2 or more languages...and another envy car you have there..look forward to this resurrection..stay healthy and work smart and safe..
Most Europeans know English and the language from a neighboring country.
The worst situation to buy a car is, street lights and rain.
The best situation to sell a car is, street lights and rain.
I sold my car in the summer, the guy just sat in it, started the engine, wiggled the gear stick and took it off my hands.
Blessed day that was haha
@@willm5032 Jeupp.
So true, I had to take a car back to the dealer the next day when it dried off, the clear coat was peeling on the hood.
@@blacksquirrel4008 That is very bad.
Greetings from the UK, I've spent many hours and many holidays in many of these Volvos and love them, your vid has made me think about getting another one! Thanks for posting, have subscribed so keep 'em coming! Good luck and happy 2021
I just got a 144. I love these old Volvo's! Much love from the UK!
Fun fact: the wheels on this car are named “corona”
some say
Funny is my 81 diesel has the same wheels
Sadly it's true, When I grew up with them I just called them turbine wheels because that's what it looked like
the stigs European cousin didn't he say that in the first video he did on this car lol
Just for the record: he said that in the previous episode:)
After just the water, this car looks better than 20% of the cars in the streets today..😅
Loving this! I work at a carwash myself and the amount of people that come with cars looking like this is insane haha. It's so satisfying to see that layer of moss disappear like that
Fantastic guys, keep up the good work!!
Bring her back to life, thank you.
Cleaning alone must have at least doubled the value 🤔💪🏼
Very interesting! Hallo from Russia)
Wow guys
Awesome work
Amazing what a thorough clean can do and looking forward to the getting the mechanical side of things sorted.
Thumbs up team
I think you guys did pretty good. I used to work in a car cleaning company, so I could reconize alot of your work. Even tho theres always room to improve, im sure even my old boss would be proud of you all for wanting to try AND doing a pretty good job at it. If you keep this up, im sure you all will gain alot of great skills along the way! Thanks for the fun video!
You should buy the stock radio for the Volvo it would be very cool
How long till the interior gets pulled out to do the heater core...
You have been there before, I see..!
Great video, very satisfying to watch! I love the 200 series and have a '78 244. Looking forward to the next episode.
So happy to see this 245 get brought back to life. These cars are truly special. Good luck!
The mold on there is older than a kid
The rubber on the bottom of the doors and the plastic
under the doors should also be removed.
Yeah and you can buy new clips for the boards if broken
Very satisfying video, the car looks great. Happy new year and wish you the Best from Romania !!!🥳🥳🥳🍾
Just mint man! Amazing work! Watching you guys every step of the way from New Zealand! 🙌🏼🤙🏼
Überragend - schön, das es noch Leute gibt, die so schöne Klassiker wieder zum Leben erwecken .... Greetings of Bavaria!!
This work is very satisfying to see! Congrats and good luck!
Thank you for the great videos! They are both entertaining and educational. You're giving me ideas for the restauration of my little hatchback. Nice to see the channel growing by the way ;)
You guys did an amazing job. You may not be professional but you sure made Greta look like a car again and not a junk heap. NICE WORK BOYS!!
Looks a 100 times better already!!!! Great job guys!!!
Dude I’m so happy I subscribed to your channel. You pump out some seriously high quality content. Keep up the good work!
Great videos again guys, boot polish is brilliant on both leather and vinyl trim and the steering wheel!
This is so satisfying to watch. Great job. 👍
I'm glad you made a second part.
I really enjoyed this vid.
Hope there will be more in this serie
Loved the video, please keep them coming. Your English is exceptional! Greetings from Chicago!
You can hear the car sighing with relief and pleasure as the grime and plant life is blasted off it. It’s amazing the paint and bodywork have stood up to the elements for so long without rust breaking out. Testament to modern rustproofing processes on modern cars.
You guys did an awesome job 👏. Great to see an old car get new life. Just discovered your chanel today and I'm subscribing.
Very nice! Looking forward to more videos on this restoration.
What a beautiful car Memphis, good luck with it! Greetings from PL
I love your channel. I find it super interesting. And I love that you guys save vehicles. It's sad that majority of ppl think a car is a disposable item and refuse to do any maintenance.
Ik geniet ontzettend van jullie filmpjes! Waren ze nog maar wat langer haha :-) Benieuwd naar de volgende. Groeten uit Zeeland.
Excellent effort, guys! Car looks great.
Mooie video weer, dank voor het delen!
One of the most beautiful cars of the 70s and 80s. Good job! Greetings from Turkey!
Wow amazing job! I did not expect that great of an outcome!
Good work guys,you worked hard and the results are amazing.
So satisfying to watch! New sub👍
I’m was also genuinely excited to get the notification you had put out a new video 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀 so keen to see more on Greta 😍
good work guys, a hug straight from Brazil !!!
First video I’ve watched of yours Memphis. Ive subscribed to see the old girl back on the road.
That’s for the content guys. Love from London Town.
I am loving this! glad I found your channel, keep up the good work. Cheers from New Zealand. Subscribed 😁
I'm so glad to see a detailing video on youtube that isn't just some boring american truck! Good luck with the rest of the restoration.
I found your channel a couple of days ago and since then I nearly watched every video (pls don´t judge its corona time :D)!
Keep it up! Your videos are refreshingly different and love your memes! BIG THUMBS UP! Greetz from Germany!
