lol, I’m sourcing one to door dash in. People laughed but seriously, who buys a car like this to hide it in the garage

Cheese grader... you are a god damned genious! Thanks for this long format videos. I think I might be brave enough to change my windshield after watching you during the years. :)

Cheese grater? Have you tried a potato peeler? The forgotten tool😊

The Italian blinkers😢😢 if you don’t need anymore I’m glad to buy it from you!

Great that you are restoring a classic Volvo but converting it to electric is absolute sacrilege. They are rare enough as it is so PLEASE NO, it should have the original 3 litre engine PETROL engine.

Where is Sarah ?

Nice work David. I'm jealous. For a number of reasons. 1. I'm nearly 70 yo and I no longer have the determination of youth to tackle a big project. 2. I have a '91 240 GLE sedan that would be ideal to convert to electric. (I will be studying your process closely) 3. I nearly bought a 164 about 25 years ago. I didn't. Much regret. 4. Wrecking yards. You have yards where you can pick your parts. Not where I live. 5. You are very clued up on electrics. I am a dolt. Anyway, if I get a few other tasks finished I will consider myself lucky to be able to work on my 940 GL wagon and the 240. You must be balancing work and the ev conversion which is a task in itself and I admire the way you are handling that balance.

Sopa!

Lovely car, I had one of these myself in the late seventies. Looks like you doing a great job fixing her up!

Awesome video as always. Greetings from Sweden.

Good work.

Stunning job! What a beautiful car! I was lucky enough to have owned a pristine 1971 Volvo 122S B20 with twin SU carbs as a mere 20-year old in South Africa back in 1974. Had to sell it three years later as my new bride at 5' 4" just could not see over the dashboard when driving! 😉 Still in love with the car 50 years later. I'd give away all my wedding photographs if I could have my car back today! 😂 What wonderful cars they were!

Brother this was very very informative just Bought 2005 Xc-90 Might need Transmission parts but everything else in and out great condition for $800usd

Mine just don't start if I plug the ground part. I see that you ground it after start engine. Was just the blue one connected or just take the red one out. How I need to connect it after start engine?

First and foremost, nice build! ... but one word of caution when using an AVC2. It blindly enables the j-1772 power without consideration of how much power is available in comparison to how much power you're taking with the charger. Let me try to explain in this comment. Let's say that j-1772 power supply is from a source that's set to only provide 3.3kW (80% x 240V x 20A). like in my case with my build I have a 6.6kW charger so if I would use the AVC2 it would just blindly turn on the power source meanwhile my charger would ramp up an overload the source thus at the very least blowing the circuit breaker⚡🤯 So in short be aware that you may overload the j-1772 source unknowingly and overload its circuit breaker. To avoid the situation you would have to manually verify that the supply power is greater than your charger power at every location you choose to plug it in at. In my opinion as an Electrical Engineer I don't recommend using an AVC2 for a customer use install. There are more complex solutions that cost more money that communicate between the j-1772 signal line and charger how much power is available and ask the charger to lower its power. I personally use an Arduino with CAN bus and custom code that communicates with a j-1772 and my charger to properly set the max power. I plan on making this available to others as an open source project but I won't be able to release more information until I get around to writing some documentation. for those that I would release a video on my channel if and when I release it.

😊❤️👍

Why would you ruin a perfectly good ICE car to turn it into a glorified golf cart?

I just binge watched this entire playlist. Great work here. I'm also doing an ev conversion (66 Porsche 912) . Similar specs with hyper 9 and tesla model S batteries. I'm just finishing the motor bracket and starting the battery box and wiring. Learning a ton from you. Thank you ❤. Keep the videos going.!

Please loose the music and let us hear the car!!

“If you deplete enough the vacum” … is a very funny way to explain you need a reservoir

Well presented, with lots of interesting detail! You sound perhaps like a college professor or such instructor type of work?

Fuel pressure is high, try 1.5 psi or max. 2 psi. Also use your manifold vacuum port and let your distributor work properly.

Hey David , nice video sir.Vanessa keeps asking going back to las Vegas 😂❤

You guys make a great COUPLE, CHEERS 😂❤😂❤😂❤

I'm working on something similar, a VOLVO S60-2001

Acceleration pump ball valve maybe missing or the proggression holes pluged.

Been following all your volvo builds and really like this :D I'm working on something similar, a Volvo 142, impressed by your work and I know the headaches you've had :D

How does it go in the fire ?

Now I'm waiting for the Tesla B30E conversion.

Really enjoying this build.

That plug is a work of art. I wish I could be that creative. very nice work.

excellent work

Just like mine since 1977😅

We had similar issues with a tiny overage on the magic number for this Kei truck build, so empathize greatly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/npLJoIdsgbuYpNksi=JCODo4Z3T8ydX4wN

Man, you are the best really helpful video. Five star definitely subscribing oldest bell and everything remote, throwing out my hands to the air.

I am just reading this 1 year + later. I want to belatedly congratulate David for his acquisition and his dead on accurate 1800 history lesson. Also, thumbs up to Roger for his help.

my worry is now in overtime,.. since I just placed a bid on an 05 XC90 V8 ,.. what a piece of dogshit ! I will now attempt to get out of the bid and auction... thank you

I hade like 5-6 164 70-73 the fog light switch are in the mittle consol from 73 , the blind spot under the light switch are for the choke , I bilt one car of just the chassis plate : 73 front with 77 rear end with sun roof like the Volvo 164 -75 , hade ac overdrive , drove in Al of Europe

what a beautiful wagon

I have 122s since 1977 will never sell it😅😮😊

They dont make them better than the 122s❤😊

We had1971p1800e with a b20e and a m410 overdrive european model had a factory 160 mph speedo love it❤😊

I have1967 voivo122s with a b18b bored 40 over runs like a b20 but doesnt blow head gasket like the b2o

This has got to be one of the coolest projects I have seen with such low views!! I personally need the gas to travel but this is something I can get behind!

Did you ever resolve a problem?

I shoved one full bale of hay into the back seat. It fits perfectly.

This is the best car ever made. And I tell everyone this.

Not all 6.5"s will fit without modification. I just put some cheap, 6.5" Kenwoods in my '91 244. They are a shallow depth, but I had to dremel the speaker cutouts in the doorcard, as the speaker basket was too wide to go in all the way. Easy enough though, the 240 doorcards appear to be a very thin MDF type of wood, and it doesn't take long at all to enlarge them with a 60 grit sanding drum or rasp attachment. Oh yeah, couldn't get my dikes to bite well enough on the rivets to snap them off...ended up just drilling. Hit them with an auto center punch first to keep the drill bit from walking around.

What front lip is this? Thank you
