Making This 40-Year-Old Interior Beautiful Again

[@retrotech383]

Wake up babe new Baked Beans Garage video just dropped

[@Maflaus]

Whats this? An entertaining and fun youtuber under 5000 subs, with a interesting project?? and a sense of humor on top of that?! Yeah I think I'll just subscribe now.

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Glad to have you here! Thanks for the support!

[@cylayton7686]

I would love a shirt!

[@sigalane]

Many thanks to mister desert rodent for yet another great motion picture. By far the best restoration series ever.

[@bluerazor7049]

What a great restoration series, lots of headaches, hilarious moments and knowledge. It's a project that you'll never forget. Now with that brick out of the way, you can focus on your other projects now! I've been subscribed since the beginning of the project.

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

They might not be as extensive and shiny as this, but there are plenty!

[@devogeding19]

“Stick your bits together” The car turned out amazing, unbelievable that it’s the same car from years ago. Sad to see the old garage go but proved to be a decent workspace for you to grow and learn with. Can’t wait to see more of the new space and the many projects that will call it home.

[@bankyWI]

The algorithm blessed me today, this is the first video I've seen from this channel and I gotta say I love the style and the build! Great work and amazing content! I hope more people find this and enjoy it like I did. New subscriber earned, easily.

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Thanks man! Glad to have you here!

[@akersjon278]

So nice to see that old norse warrior get a new lease of life, well done. 👍Greetings from Sweden.

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Thanks! Greetings from Burgerland!

[@gaucker398]

Thanks for coming out to Tom's Step-Dad's basement for our show. We're Ash Tray for the Kiddos. This next song is called Symphony of Beige and it's about my childhood.

I am restoring a 1976 Mercedes 240d. It was last on the road in 2002 and was parked in a field long time ago. Rodents made their way in through rust holes and has been living there for years. After tons of hours spent restoring the interior, I got it looking mint. Still have some engine work to do as well as a lot of welding.

[@hammarhaj7531]

10:00 used to mount a kind of separation grille between the passenger compartment and trunk. For keeping dogs in the trunk or keeping cargo from flying forwards and hitting you in the back of the head during an accident. Called ''hundgaller'' or ''lastgaller'' in swedish. Really enjoy your videos and style of humor!

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Neat! Thank you!

[@RosarioSound]

I second that! Reckoginzed it straight away.😎​@@bakedbeansgarage116

[@fixandflipauto]

Dude, loving the videos! Dry sense of humour. Will be watching the other vids now!

[@antonaberg5238]

You really deserve 1m subs! The quality in the restoration and videos is just insane! I´ve been using these vids as insperation to make my swap as nice as possible (1.9tdi in 245). Hope to see the 245 again once the 740 is done! Keep it up love from Sweden

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Thank you! The 245 will be back soon!

[@tophersteps]

Now i have to think of an excuse to tell my boss why im watching youtube during work 😅

[@charlienorton2337]

I like that you started playing falco at 53:54

[@ericbarr2214]

Amazing. Can't say how much of a good job that is. As I mentioned before, you provide me hope in my own project (and many learned good ideas!). Thanks, I massively enjoyed start to finish! I like that diesel...

[@RosarioSound]

Fantastic outcome! Love your content, you should have more subs. Looking forward to the next one.👍

[@WorkTheHardWay]

Love the videos, you’re the Steve Ross of mechanics.

[@myutube77]

Your video editing and sound effects are top notch! I had a lot of chuckles.

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Thank you! I'm glad they're appreciated!

[@maximilianswansson1264]

Love the pattern on the roof liner! ❤ I did mine in Swedish M90 Camo on my 745

[@mikrok2]

Very good my friend....excellent....very nice work......greetings from greece...

[@jamesliddy7564]

great work im amazed what you have done so far wish i had your skills keep up the good work a lot of us depend on your skills and enthusiasm

[@mattwelch4025]

What an amazing feat! Not only does the car look great, but the video had me laughing from start to finish. I learned a lot too! Thanks!

[@sakke6902]

the brick turned amazing. I'm lucky I found your channel at this time.

[@jeffjasko2539]

I'll definitely buy a t-shirt!

[@vwfanatic2390]

WOW! Memory flashbacks from the beautiful symphony of that TD and the look of the 740/760 series front grill and the dual American headlights. I wish I could saved my dad’s ‘84 760 GLE TD (manual, intercooled, IL6, with black leather interior. Those are such great cars. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[@oscarostlund8025]

Most entertaining channel to watch with no doubt, i just sold my Volvo 945 pretty recently! Keep up the great work man!

[@TailFenBaits-pp1rr]

"You can see it looks like ass." So matter of fact I laughed so hard in my office our secretary asked if I was ok

[@ttoledo00]

bro, you're a fucking comedy genius

[@PDNW]

This car is beautiful, well done bro

[@adamlewis2021]

Thank you for doing this series. Great job on a beautiful restoration!!!

[@JackMoynihanOfficial]

God this gives me hope in restoring my 740 GLEs tan interior, turned out so nice. Also the radio in the center console idea is amazing

[@Walwal44]

The fact he just has a wooden duck laying around is golden

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

it's a MALLARD

[@cylayton7686]

Turned out to be a nice rig! Great work

[@dreamsun69]

For your sanity sake, there was an optional "dog gate" to separate dogs to the hatch. In Australia im pretty sure every 7/9 had previsions for said barrier. Similar to a cop car but in the back! Also mid era 240s had the same light as the hatch light but as a centre dome light. Illegal to ship because they have a glass tube with mercury in it

[@pelayorico]

i'm really hopping as soon as you finnish this volvo , you should defo build ANOTHER!

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Yup, I still have my 245 I'm putting a d24t in, it's not gonna be an extensive resto like this, but I think it'll be more fun! (Less rust)

[@green122s]

What an amazing amount of work! And an equally amazing result! Having done a car or three, I can fully appreciate what you have accomplished.😊

[@diegop1311]

Amazing content 👌

[@thegreenmanalishi578]

really great job👌

[@veryperson6011]

Thank you for this video series I really enjoyed it. These cars mean a lot to me as well I've had 2 of them and they sure have character. Great videos man you are skilled

[@charlienorton2337]

You’re like a mixture of Aging wheels and vice grip garage

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

This. Absolutely perfect.

[@drmr_music]

21:30 ... Great video and you've got a new sub, love the humor. But, with best regards from Japan, maybe skip _that_ sound effect in the future. It's the chime that alerts us to an immediately impending earthquake. Gave me a proper jolt at 2am. 😅

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Everyone gets an EAS jumpscare... Thanks, man!

[@veryperson6011]

Oh man the headliner is a mess to do but it really makes a difference, i did the headliner in my 92 740 sedan i had to break it in two to get it out and then duct tape it together again

[@folkehatlegjerde724]

i used som gas 5.25inc speakers, they fit right in my 86 740

[@lordquid3134]

Good work, Mr. Garage

[@ricky107_]

Glad i found your channel this qaa very entertaining! Wants me to do ky own interior

[@ricky107_]

Only I have a 230 with a black interior so no Beige to worry about

[@Xlornick]

Beautiful!!

[@GmKcorp]

Wow you made this 745 really nice! I’m about to convert my -90 740 GLE with B230f into D24tic this winter. Also going to insulate the firewall since these engines are really noisy. You should put some butyl mat on the wheel wells also. Since I can imagine those tires you have are quite noisy. Thank you for sharing your work.

[@ScottMasser]

Superb.

where did you get the dash coverlay from please?

[@bubstep816]

Dash is bangin'! Not sure about that roof liner....

[@AllthingsRocco]

One adult chinchilla long. Very good measurement… Question will this car be for sale after?

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Nope, it's not even mine, actually. I'm restoring it for a dear friend.

[@JacobTechShit]

He’s like the car wizard but sick of it all

[@Pruczepol]

I think I've finally seen a Volvo worth more than 500 bucks

[@75jrk]

Another great video, but this time with a somber ending. Mostly straight, though. Pretty work

[@LerroEnders]

great! how did you match 15" jeep wheels to that?

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

It's just wheel adapters and some clearencing.

[@cortin7786]

Has it been so long since you started this project? Damn, time flys by. Still not finished my mk2 btw, been on a stand still for a while :/

[@lvomotor]

I've done about 3 of these roofliners and yours definitely looked all original, the stock glue is annoying. Did you also find out that there is some fiberglass material either in the foam or the paper board by scraping by hand? :p First time i was just trying to rub the foam off by hand and that was not a good idea.

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Ah, I REALLY should have mentioned that. I also learned that the hard way. There is definitely fiberglass in there.

[@crika50]

Is it possible to use aftermarket u channel weather stripping with the top bulb instead of doing surgery on the old seals?

[@olleherwin8931]

What type of paint do you use to paint al the beige pieces?

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Rust-Oleum American Accents "Nutmeg". Not sure about the availability outside the US.

[@johnjasko2467]

[@jacksonhui581]

Hey! im redoing our 740 interior plastics as well. what kind of paint/paint color did you use to match the mustard interior ?

[@jacksonhui581]

oh nutmeg, ok got it thanks

[@VOLVO1234]

Volvo ❤❤❤❤

[@liket7007]

Could you pleaaase sell me the vanity mirror in the glovebox?

[@ArthurL-po8vx]

Hello guy I have a question is this volvo yours or something because man it has turned out awesome and it'd be amazing to see a driving video of it

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

I'm restoring it for a friend, just didn't have time to get it roadworthy before I move states. I'll be on the road with it in the next video of this series!

[@ArthurL-po8vx]

@@bakedbeansgarage116 oh that's so cool I thought it was yours since you did such a stuning job you should have one

Где можно взять такую ремонтную накладку на торпедо?

[@JenniferChinchilla-ws1zl]

😍😍😍😍

[@yekuukey5592]

also had some trouble with the a pillar I think only the beige plastics get brittle for some reason, the interiors of these cars are the worst part compared to everything else longevity wise.

[@pb-kt5ep]

One chinchilla shirt, please!

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

I'll have a link in the next video description once they're ready!

[@JohanHultin]

It's so jarring to see a non-swede work on a Volvo and not have access to easy to find replacement parts, like the seals. We have websites here where you can buy it OEM new, I would assume as I could find for my 1994 855 2.5 in mere minutes.

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

I could probably import stuff, but that gets expensive quickly. I like figuring out methods like what I did with the seals for when I'm eventually working on something where parts ABSOLUTELY don't exist anymore.

[@jamiuotila4447]

Where is your shoes, tf?

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

In the house. Wouldn't want to get them scuffed up.

[@alexanderhill1444]

It's looking rather nice. not sure if trolling viewers in Japan with the earthquake warning system sound at 21:30?

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Yes. I have a bunch of EAS alarms in the folder.
