- The Volvo Rescue bought a 1986 Volvo 240 4 door Turbo B230FT swapped brick! LH 2.4, EZK ignition, lots of good mods and fun times waiting to be restored.
I put this video together in 20 minutes, and my poor old laptop can't process 4K footage, so it's sloppy; no music, no intro, just a quick shot of our day. A martini didn't help, but it sure was savory!
Next time, RobertDIY gives me a ride in his T5R
Can’t stop watching this video. I’ve painstakingly been sanding down my 240 non wagon for a least 3-4 weeks. 4 hours a day because I work. Power sander and by hand. 10 sheets of sand paper per sesh. It’s been a project for sure. And I outta finish soon because it’ll surly start raining soon. Long story short. I’ll be painting it by gun jet black without side trim. In fact I’ve bonded in the small holes. So it’s now a smooth fleek surface.
This is great! I spent so many hours as a kid in the back of a 240 estate on trips to the north of Sweden
I was gonna hit the like button... but it's sittin' at 240... can't bring myself to do it. You do it!
Sitting at 242 now so I thought the same :S
Now we have a long way to go 740:)
Super nice little diamond in the rough... looks like a lot of work has gone into that!
There is one 240 in Finland with BMW M5 engine and boy it goes like crazy....
Guess I'll start watching your channel again since you've got another 240. :)
Wow even in sweden this original turbos is rare, me want!
Can't go wrong with a 240 turbo! Great video :)
I'm hugely envious. I need to get another 240 to go with the 122S.
Awesome! Glad to see you working with a 240 again.
Neil Cato you know me, I can't stay away for long
that 240 is beautiful!
Nice find David!
this is a cool car :D congrats
2:29 I knew it, I knew it!!!
(always a torn stich in that ol leather)
Robs a cool guy, he helped me with my s70 on his helper tour, you should look into getting his 850 t5r that he is selling, shes mint!
That is a real nice conversion!
I've been keeping my eye out for a non-rust eaten Turbo wagon in Canada. So far, no luck!
I've seen a few at the yard that sort of resemble a car ...
I've owned four 240's, three of them being 245's and all of them had some form of rust. Good luck finding a rust free example haha
Even my 1990 (one owner and very well cared for) has rust on the rear arches, front fenders and a little on the rockers. I want to restore it, but that will cost some real money.
Btw that red button is the trunk
This thing is awesome
SHOULDVE GOT THE VW BUS TOO
Man i love it!😍 rims👌
Man I like yall's videos bro I got to be a nut on my own channel by myself one more question what part of the country are you from
Jävligt nice!! VOLVO FOR LIFE
Hey David Bello, love you videos, but more importantly, where can i buy some of you Volvo related stickers?? i think they are heliarious and would go perfect on my 240 wagon!
That's one dirty dually
Thats a sweat little 240
Hi, I am trying to put new s60 rims 17 on my 244 but there is a long bolt between the other 5. Is ok to leave it without the bolt?
What that suspension setup, the fitment is great.
VOLVO POWER ;-)
Sure it's running LH2.4? That AMM has the fuel trim screw that I thought only LH2.2 had
Whoo, I just got my second 240 last month. 245 Turbo with big rod squirter block. Scored it for $700 too.
that's a steal!
In Sweden, these are way cheaper. But after all, Volvo's Swedish. In fact, 240 is a car that alot of teens buys as their first car since you can score a perfectt condition 240 for 50-100 bucks
Goddamn. My first 240 I got at a steal for $200 and it has basically no floors because it's so rusted. I got the turbo for $700 because it has a fair amount of rust and quite a few issues.
sigh, the cheapest 240 turbo (in rotten state) starts at 6 grand here...
Where do you live?
Where can i get that duck? :)
I wish i could find a turbo 240 in my neck of the woods
why cant you do it?
Leroy Lemon Remote Controls just turbo An na one lol takes a weekend max
Bob Sagit i dont have the money to turbo my own, if i could find a turbo 240 thats all rotted up then i'd swap it into my car.
Leroy Lemon Remote Controls you dont have like 500$
Juha Juaranen where do i get a turbo and manifold that cheap?
I still driving Volvo 940 auto 2319cc model 1996 from Kuala Lumpur to hatyai thailand distance of 600 km,every month with the top speed 220kmph and spent 220.00 Malaysian ringgit,NO PROBLEM,22 years old,you must know how to maintain your darling,@your loves one!
i bought an Non turbo 90 240dl a couple weeks ago.
Still $2,000 + here in 🇵🇷
um, hey david,... whats happening at the begining of this vid?looks odd. great car cant wait to see it fixed up. maybe you can give some pointers on how to turbo a non turbo 240?
Kenneth Baggett we set up a photo studio in a house, involving balloons, and i helped myself to the helium gas once they got started
Please throw those S80 wheels into the nearest dumpster post-haste.
But those wheels look awesome, I have them on my S80 :)

Yes S80 T6 Turbo- 17 tum Volvo original OEM Factory.

Ha en fortsatt trevlig Volvo gott nytt år 2021.

Sweet looking old bus you've bought yourself. I actually don't mind the S80 alloys, I think it looks low enough to pull them off with some offset correction.
However your securing the car to the trailer game is weak. You need some tiedowns for the wheels before you loose a car on the highway.
mk14dr maybe you missed the second half of the video where we use 4 tow hooks on every corner to strap to the trailer?
Cat on an 86 model?
pull that engine out of there drop a LS in there with high flow heads high flow manifold and two hairdryers on it you’d be making something like 800 to 1000 hp
About the Volvo 17 inch rims, what size spacer is on them and is there any noticeable wobble, vibration, rubbing or any unusual sensation when driving?
i wanted to say get rid of the wheels but then i realised this was 8 months ago...
Even before you got it, that's a rather ambitious swap. The M56 is a nice touch, too.
rockympls isn't the m56 the fwd p80 transmission? this one has an m47
Yeah, that's what I meant. Having an actual 5th gear instead of a push-button OD (M46) is a big step up!
GO VOLVO ;-)
I want to buy that
how did you manage to find this for only ~ $1500?
Avacado Papaya even less ;) but it's not matter of blind luck and determination when someone else has to get rid of toys. I have to sell my 242 for a fraction of what I put into it here pretty soon

Mr Bello, how can I obtain a “my other Volvo is a Volvo” sticker? I’d love to throw one on my wagon
Yeah, stretched tires on trucks are the worst lol
Try searching hawaii trucks on google images, it's just ridiculous
That is not an b230ft engine, thats just converted to turbo
Hey man, new to the channel but i love volvo's a bunch. I am looking to buy a 1994 960 white block locally for $1000 and wanted to know what you or anybody in the comment section thinks about that idea?? :)
Andrew Liebner I will never buy another 960. too.many engine problems
Thanks for the advice man! Keep up the awesome videos, and ill keep looking for a brick! :)
+Andrew Liebner The later 960s and V90 with the 24v 2.5 and 3.0 engines can be very good if they've been maintained well, I know a few that are well on their way to 400,000 miles with no signs of a problem. But, a lot haven't been well maintained and the cooling system, which is already a bit marginal in good condition especially in areas with high ambient temperatures, deteriorates and you end up with all sorts of head gasket and head problems. Find one that's been in the hands of a careful owner for ever and you'll have a great car for not much money (they do like a drink though) but if it's been through the hands of many owners in not much time or it looks like it's been abused, driven into the ground and neglected then just walk away. There are enough around and they're cheap enough that you can afford to be really picky. Buy a good one and maintain it by the book and you could still be driving it in 40 years, they're probably the last of the proper bomb-proof Volvos. Be warned though, some parts that are specific to that car are only available as genuine parts and they are expensive. If you come from an area where rust can be a problem then have a good check of the toe boards/foot wells under the fenders/wings behind the front wheels as 7 and 9-series Volvos seem to like to rust there...
gosportjamie the one that I looked at and test drove had a clicky rear diff, and very very little power when I had my foot to the floor , also was shaky upon braking
+Andrew Liebner Definitely forget that one. I've never heard of a 960 having diff problems, usually they're virtually bomb-proof so it must have been seriously abused or neglected to hurt the diff. The lack of power certainly suggests that car may have been starting to show signs of top end trouble, but it could also be electronic problems which aren't unknown. The shakes on braking are probably warped brake discs/rotors which isn't unknown on any heavy car with automatic transmission as they do work their brakes hard, but the fact that the seller hadn't rectified what is a simple and pretty cheap problem to fix before attempting to sell the car suggests that they had little idea about vehicle maintenance or just didn't care. All in all, that was definitely NOT a good 960 to buy. I should have said in my previous response that you should be wary of automatic cars with tow bars. Really these cars need to be fitted with a separate transmission oil cooler to keep the gearbox healthy, which is what happened if you ordered the car new with the factory towing package, but people who put tow bars on after delivery often didn't know or didn't want to spend the extra money with the result that the cars got used for towing just with the standard transmission oil cooler which could result in the transmission being overheated which seriously compromises the life of the unit and can also kill the electronic controls in the transmission. So, if you find an otherwise very good car that has a tow bar then check the transmission very carefully, make sure that the fluid is nice and clean and red/pink and smells nice, if the fluid is brown or black, has noticeable debris in it or smells horrible and burnt it means the transmission has been badly overheated and is going to need attention. Similarly, when you're test driving the car make sure all the electronic controls work properly, that the car selects all gears quickly and cleanly and that it shifts gears sweetly and kicks down well. A good car that has transmission trouble could be a good option as long as it is cheap enough to take into account the fact that it is going to need a transmission rebuild as once it's done as long as you don't abuse the car and change the transmission fluid and filter according to the book you should easily get 150-200,000 miles without transmission problems...
That car looks like GLT spec. Not sure about the S80 alloys, you might get problems with odd tyre wear with them being front-wheel drive wheels on a rear-wheel drive car...
will it start ?
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏
I'll trade you my 97 850 sw ;)
Awesome find, I am surprised that the sunroof was still hand crank not motorized,unless the owner ordered it like that, all.the instrumentation, the front middle option in between the front buckets, even the Volvo dog lights, now why would somebody put on an intercooler nameplate that appears to be of the 700 series on the grille of all places, if that is supposed to be a 240 GLT
volvo s60r all dayy volvo life
.
Not a stock engine. It should be namned B21ET. However...you got yourself a way better one in this 👌
Why do people driving big diesel trucks think it's cool to "roll coal"? It doesn't look cool imo.
Narragetto it's for hauling other cars
imo those rims are ugly on the volvo they were intended for, putting them on a 240 does not make them look better.
Only reason i want the 240 turbo is cause I've seen what it looks like when u turn it into a hoonigan💀lol just trying to wreak havoc in the neighborhood lol plus im looking for one if anyone wants to sell me one lol rs though hmu
lorenzo cooper buy my 242, it has a Nissan KA24DE+T engine swap
David Bello how much
David Bello and where u live cause im in texas
lorenzo cooper Albuquerque!
