In this one we are just going to look over the car and prepare it the best we can for inspection.
Hopefully it will pass the MOT!

My new favorite Volvo channel! I have a 1992 240 with 43K miles. My baby!

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much :) Love 240's, lovely cars!

[@bobbywhite350]

Ooh this chap's a proper engineer... If I'd done it there would have been a car fire ending episode one (and the series) in 4 minutes. I'm jealous.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you very much for your comment. 😊

[@Darthvolvo]

Devouring this series. Maybe it will give me motivation to do my 740 wagon restoration..lol.

[@ejoautovideos]

Happy to hear that! :) Yes do it, the hard part it always to get going.

[@haridanspark]

Really enjoyed watching this series so far. Can’t wait for the next instalment.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you 😊

[@fixxzitt]

Enjoyed your videos. I hope you do a full Volvo restoration because I like Volvo very much, unfortunately it is an expensive car and spare parts are difficult to get and expensive in my country.

[@pastorkurtlin]

I'm watching from California. Keep up the good work. I have subscribed.

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you so much 😊

Nice to see your Volvo 740 GL project! I had to get my Volvo roadworthy so I could transfer my name to my Volvo 740 to pay the car registration cheaper. My project is pretty slow but it's in Volvo OZ. It's VOLVER PESTANYA - VOLVO 740 GL 1989 PROJECT. :)

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you! Thanks for checking my channel out :) Just looked up your car project on the forum. Looks really nice! You don't get to experience the "joy" of working on rusty undercarriages that has been through 30 salty winters hehe 😝

[@Ansett1994]

@@ejoautovideos there are few rust chips but 1989 with zinc coating, no sign of major rust around the car. :) Looking forward to see the paint work and I'm surprised you have bought a manual transmission gear! 👍

like from syria same my car

[@peterwong2142]

thank you for rescuing this old car. I have a 1988 740, still like driving my "baby". we have undercoating to prevent rusting, it was applied when the car is new. would cleaning out those rust and reapply undercoating help prevent more rusting ?

[@ejoautovideos]

Correct, if the undercoat has been compromised and moisture is trapped underneath resulting in rust forming, it is a good idea to clean that area of old undercoat and loose rust and then reapplying a good quality undercoat. Thank you for watching, have a good day! :)

lol. "we have undercoating" yes. we have it aswell here in norway and sweden. it doesnt work like that. its not a 1 time job. lol. from 1988 to 2019 it may need 10-15 undercoats

[@NomHeads]

Nice project and you stole this for 50$, regards from Finland

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you! I know, it was a bargain!

[@tierfuehrer2]

Hey, what is the model and brand of your car lift? I like it and like to look more into it.

[@geddy1972]

did the calipers move on the sliders ?

[@HugOCovers]

I like to watch your videos in TV with my father. I know that is too expensive but I think you must be more careful with the brake system, for example clean the cilinder, for it move better. Brakes are really important investment!

[@ejoautovideos]

Glad you like my videos, make sure to watch the later episodes where I replace more brake components. 👍

[@carlseiler6441]

They don’t check that kinda stuff on inspection here.

[@ejoautovideos]

Must be nice, where do you live? :)

[@carlseiler6441]

EJO Auto Videos I am in Texas. It is nice on the budget, but means lots of dangerous cars on the road 😮

[@bobdelaplage690]

Are you from sweden? Very interesting content thx lot, we are working on 240 and 740

[@ejoautovideos]

Thank you 😊 Yes, I'm from Sweden 👍

[@jrgendrevland9879]

in norway that car would cost like 2800 dollars

[@ejoautovideos]

Thats crazy! 😝

[@ricky107_]

Same they are getting rare here people destroy them for fun

[@formatique_arschloch]

Pretty expensive in Finland too. Good specimens easily 1500-2000€. Turbo models even 4000+. Prices are really getting up on these.

[@jrgendrevland9879]

@@formatique_arschloch right now a 13000 dollar volvo 740 is for sale..

Kul projekt och bra filmer överlag! Kan du inte göra en film om hur man gör rent olika säten och testar medel för detta?

[@ejoautovideos]

Tack så jättemycket, uppskattar det! :) Absolut skulle man kunna fixa det i framtiden!

[@operatorNoodle]

what brand lift are you using bro? that thing is perfect

[@ejoautovideos]

From a Swedish brand called Pela. But honestly I think it is just a generic chinese scissor lift that they put their brand on.

Where u get parts from do you order? I’m getting a 740 turbo 1988

Check out l-m-r.se It's a swedish site, but they ship internationally (might be restrictions due to Corona). Just click on the language button in the top left corner when opening the site to view in english. 👍

[@markgriston4063]

What kind of lift is this ?

[@ejoautovideos]

It's a 3 ton scirror lift that can lift 1m (about 3 feet). I bought it from a Swedish company called verktygsboden.se but it's just a generic cheap chinese lift, that you probably can find elsewhere. 👍

[@loganx77]

Riktigt rolig kanal. Har kollat några videos. Vad använder du för fett runt klossarna och bromsoket?

[@ejoautovideos]

Tack så mycket, uppskattar det! :) Där använder jag ett keramiskt fett (ingen risk för galvaniska strömmar) samt tål mycket höga temperaturer.

[@loganx77]

@@ejoautovideos Får man fråga vilket fett? Jag kör med kopparpasta där och silikonfett för glidpinnarna.
