  • I dragged this ole girl out to see what we can salvage. It took a pretty good hit when it was T-boned and gave it's life for the driver. What say you dear viewer? Can we get this STUCK b230 to fire off?

    I'm impressed that the dent in the door bent the cowel but did not break the front windshield or indeed the door window. This is one of the reasons we love our Volvos.
    btw I think you like wrestling with old seized engines but when you get them turning you loose interest. LOL

      The windscreen and rear window broke sadly. I have other projects that require time and parts so I try not to keep this kind of car too long. I’ve gotten what I needed out of it so its ready for scrap

      Any time! If you looked closely, both drivers side doors were originally red.

    You can also tell an 89 simply by the one year only steering wheel they came with that looks like it has an airbag but its just a massive cover.👌

    A+ for perseverance, stamina, patience and professional technical commentary during this educational video.
    I know so much more after this....., if that knowledge will help me in anything? doubtful but somehow happy and satisfied after the ordeal.
    Thank's once again for sending a glimmer of hope for all of us with a 240 sitting on a trailer, it can as just seen in the video be a few fine calibrated adjustments needed between a true success or just a cold "Meh".
    Cheers Dean

    Another way to quickly find the year of a 240 is to look at the emissions/tune up sticker on the drivers side shock tower and that has a year listed there.

    I’ve seen with Saabs that are equipped with a manual transmission. If you put the car in gear and push on it that will oftentimes free up the motor if it’s locked up. I’m pretty sure you can do the same with Volvos are pretty much any car as well. However, since your Volvo is equipped with an automatic transmission, I would say that your best bet is to spray some fucking oil into each of the cylinders and see if that will help in terms of getting the motor to free up.
