On older cars i do it too if they have good battery 😂

[@PatricioGarcia1973]

on my car a fellow forum member he did it remotely. I had the laptop connected to the obd port and he used teamviewer to connect to my laptop and do the coding.

The production quality of this channel beats most big budget car shows. The attention to detail, the professionality, the cinematography, the lot. I can’t get enough of it!

[@wheelemverb]

Thank you!

Well he is a visual artist since years with his photography channel so no wonder he does things the right way :))

you should checkout his photography channel 🤝

[@daviddoenges6200]

Super impressive. 100% agree with nokbeen! This build is beautiful man - way to do it justice with this video 🤙🏼

[@lens3641]

The footage tracking behind the car towards the end is the best stock volvo footage i've ever seen omg

[@boyblunder8889]

Very true , better than a Volvo advert , you know , i’d buy one today if they still made them , timeless classics, I’ve had Volvos in the family for over 30 years , my favourite was the V70 Classic , I’m an old dude now and the wife’s fed up with my Volvo workhorses.. so sadly 😢 I’ve got a jag-waaa

[@whatarewedoinghere42]

And opposed to fixing the left numberplate light, they disabled the right one as well for a better shot. Nice.

[@ArvidHaggstrom]

Been following this series since the start and I gotta say, this is the most entertaining videos you can watch on KZbin as a whole! Really love the build and I’m really looking forward to seeing what new projects you have waiting for us to see! Greetings from a v70-owner from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@nate_meador89]

Those cinematic rollers gave me chills. This channel has it all Cool Volvo’s, good info, great camera work, and you’re great to watch. Seriously one of the best channels on KZbin

[@googleyoutubegmailmaps]

literally chills here too, you already said it.

[@user-em6ls1xs7u]

Never had this level of mixed emotions before, to be both this happy and sad that this project has been completed. Absolutely unbelievable job, what a guy, what a car!

[@wheelemverb]

There will be a couple more videos on it :’)

[@KN-vl9ob]

No fancy shop, no super cars..floor jack and jack stands and good old fashioned work

[@aserta]

8:39 i'm not 100% sure but, i think you need to change the ball and arm as well. Not just the cables. edit: no bueno on putting a bolt, it needs to be able to move on that ball. Call a dealership for Volvo and ask them for the proper ball - and ... cables. Also, never over tighten your bleed screws. You only want to snug them because of several reasons, but the two most important. 1. you'll damage the seal surface 2. you'll never get them off once corrosion sets in - and it always does.

[@jnxmck]

For sure, I thought "sweet, just get a new ball end for it" but instead the drill came out!

[@Itz_Joe_Here]

Too late now he would need to get new shifter cables because he drilled straight through them

[@rosegold-beats]

@@Itz_Joe_Herehe got 3 cables so all he need is a new ball bolt

[@_ST_020]

Shoutout to whoever shot and edited those rolling shots 🔥 they were the cherry on the cake of this "finale" episode, congrats!

[@Ghettochappy]

Yeah it almost looked like an old Volvo commercial film

[@sakke6902]

Never tighten those bleed screws that hard as you did in 14:25. You're only supposed to tighten them just a tiny bit, so they don't come loose or bleed, they will otherwise become a problem. I've changed hundreds of these bleed screws in casr, for being overtightened and then rusting out. Otherwise, a great video, watched a bit fast, but im a huge fan in this v70r series. Keep up the amazing videos, youre going to go far with your vids. I'll remember these times when you're in a big shop creating beautiful cars after cars.

[@froggy0162]

His tightening of everything is scary. Scary we share the road with cars like this… It’s not just himself he will kill when a critical brake or suspension fastener fails…

Stuff like that. I am NOT afraid of this guy...

[@douglaslippertindy]

Congrats from a Honda guy from Indy. Really, really happy for you and to say I enjoyed your series is to understate how much pleasure I received by following your journey. Looking forward to the next one.

[@SamsMotors]

The car looks and sounds incredible and I love your production quality in this. The driving shots at the end literally look better than Volvo's own marketing material for the V70. So good!

[@TCFiveoh]

Been wrenching on my P2VR now for about 8 years. Being in Toronto, I am so jealous of how clean and rust free the underside of your R is. Great channel, keep up the good work!

[@robertmurdoch9915]

Fellow toronto person here... a whole 'nother level of clean underside. I was shocked... where's the ten minutes of cleaning off the bolts and wrestling with it to get it un seized?!?!?

[@marshallwhite3780]

Congrats brother, I had an '04 S80 as a teenager and I miss it very much. This whole series was very nostalgic for me!

[@tomppeli.]

I can't believe it's already over! I also can't believe how well that sounds! The coil-overs make the whole affair look so much better as well. Really suits the whole R-spec! Top shelf!

[@DevonMorder]

Alex is a good guy! He brought me into the tuning scene for P2R's. We teach eacher new stuff almost everyday! If anyone deserves a shout out its diffidently him!

[@OnShouldersOfGiants]

Cool dude. Helped me also with understanding tuning as well as another dude named Devon unless that's you. I have a pretty good base understanding of how me7 works but that guy is miles ahead.

@@OnShouldersOfGiants That would be me lol.

[@alfred-um9nr]

I like the videos before watching, that's how much I love this series

[@jeremymitchell8470]

I happened to find your channel just before this project…….dont sell yourself short on your skill set! You just tackled a huge project, and did an awesome job. I worked on older stuff with my dad (like 850 Volvos) when I was growing up, your videos brought back a lot of memories even though you’re working on a newer car. Thanks for the great series!

[@nick2128]

Right! I can’t imagine this being easy. He definitely has skills.

[@Hnkka]

Awesome, have you worked on T5-R too? One of the most legendary cars from its era, some say that the car had "cult reputation/cult following" because it was so nice car

[@jeremymitchell8470]

I wish. I only saw one of those and it was a beautiful shade of purple. Very cool cars, but not many of them made it to the midwest part of the US.

[@kevinsinor2821]

I’ve been watching this build since day one and I can definitely say that I am truly impressed and so happy to see that your project finally came together in a culmination that was completely deserved. it’s pretty impressive that this was your first project of this level of intensity, but you also made it into some incredible content, on a platform that is actually rarely built. Great job!!

[@RudexAwakening1]

Loved how excited you were when everything started coming together and the cinematography towards the end was wonderful - really a satisfying ending to the project :)

[@Tsenngu]

The V70 has always looked phenomenal and still holds up very well. Nice to see someone have a good time with it. I might however like the 850 T-5R a tiny bit more in its delivery yellow to be one of the most badass volvos :)

[@JeremiBulakowski]

21:32 - Sheesh, panning shots with THAT song I've listened thru all of these episodes. I'm happy you delivered the final product and the Lolvo haven't ended at the junkyard.

[@stefanzlatanovic7521]

The colors on that footage, the whole project, your channel, just pure perfection. I saw that you uploaded on my phone, and wanted to watch you on a big screen! Way to go mate! What a series!

[@LOLHICRONO]

one of the best car build series of all time tbh

[@Hnkka]

Yep, then theres one car from mercedes from same era, w124 500e amg :D But the Volvo 850 T5-R is the legend

[@lucasnilsson5919]

The production quality on these videos are crazy, keep up the good work man!

[@iadubber]

What a great channel! You are building my dream car! Turbo, manual, awd, and wagon! This thing sounds so good too! Currently my favorite series on KZbin right now!

[@crarazy]

11:45 - I'm pissed... This has become my favorite youtube series of late and have enjoyed the build a ton. It's really the first car build I've ever really watched. I've always liked cars, but didn't know much about them, but this has taught me a lot about cars and is starting to inspire me to try and tackle some of my own projects. I've only owned one car in my life for 6 years now. I own a 2008 Ford Taurus and it is obviously and old persons car, but I love it, and so do the people that ride in it. It has 200k miles on it and I keep it in really nice condtion. This series has inspired to simply just take car of my car beyond what I normally do to hopefully get another 100k miles out of it! Can't wait to see the next project!

[@Markymarkvinylnut]

Wow, amazing! How skillful and knowledgeable you are. I love my 2014 V70. Many thanks from UK

[@HandOats]

Kids are getting a 26 min reprieve from bedtime Go get em champ, love the V70

I absolutely LOVE this series, I started following a while ago for photography, but cars are right up my alley as well. Love the channel, keep doing this!

[@bagi914]

The quality, tempo and presenting is absolutely on the highest level in my opinion! I love the car and the modifications to it. Watching you build that car is insanely enjoyable I'm staying till the end of this build

So glad I happened to find your channel near the start of the series! It's been such a great journey watching you fix up the old Volvo. I've always loved wagons, and the old V70R's are so incredibly cool. It's so great to see an old machine like that get the love and care it deserves. Great work man.

Man I love this video it's so relaxing to watch. The trial & error & diagnosing is also very informative. Over 10 years ago I also had one of these (well, an S60 and not an R though but it was a turbo 5 c yl) and it's the most comfortable and reliable cruiser I had.
