Manual conversion, salvage yard run and much more

That is amazing that they got 200k on that timing system!

[@RobertDIY]

I doubt that. I'm sure the belt was replaced.

I enjoyed spending an hour watching the video! What a project! You made me smile when you mentioned your 'ossss-hiss-O-late-ing' saw! I'm looking forward to the follow-up video. Observations: That fuel filter looks pretty sad. It was nice seeing Mita for (by my stopwatch) 2.50 seconds! :>)

[@RobertDIY]

Glad you enjoyed it! Haven't figured out what Mita's cameo niche will be yet. LOL

1:04:16 Buster Brown baby! Love that clip. Lol

[@RobertDIY]

Me too, my buddy Buster. LOL

I can’t wait until the day comes for me to contact Robert to see if he can source me a manual transmission for my 98 V70 AWD 🤞 hopefully next fall! None of the junkyards by me will let you walk the yard and pull parts anymore.. except one with no Volvo parts.. 🙄 Thanks Robert!

[@johnwartjr]

Don’t wait. They are getting harder and harder to find every single day!

[@RobertDIY]

That will be great

[@rj3969]

@@johnwartjr I know! Need to pick one up soon, even if I don’t install it for awhile.

[@RobertDIY]

@@rj3969 that's what we do. Just delivered one yesterday. He put a deposit down in May.

[@franks5553]

I'm so glad that I don't have to deal with all that rust. So sorry for your pain there, Robert.

[@RobertDIY]

🤷🏾‍♂️

[@johnwartjr]

Man Robert, I’m exhausted after watching you fight that delta link!

[@RobertDIY]

That was just the first half🤣

[@Sac_slappper_4rce]

Wish I could get that C70's black interior. Hate the color in mine.

[@RobertDIY]

Man, that stuff is for sale. Seats are heavy and hard to deal with in every way. But everything has a price. LOL

[@btrdangerdan2010]

Man that's a lot of work to get that lower control arm knuckle bushing out of there! Glad i live in southern California

[@RobertDIY]

I hear you

[@bernardaflores1720]

I can not wait to get home and check the conversion

[@RobertDIY]

Thanks

[@Charles_E]

What clutch do you usually replace with instead of the NA?

[@RobertDIY]

P80 R clutch. The supply totally ran out about a year ago. The few that were left were selling 2 and 3 times as much as MFR. Now bits are showing up here and there for sale but it's like a lottery draw to get one.

[@rj3969]

Check out this clutch on Viva Performance website: SPEC Clutch Kit, Stage 3+, Volvo 850, S70/V70/C70 T5 1998

What brand water pump was that on the 960 at the end?

[@VR6MT]

This is not related to the work you did, but that hard brake line (back right) suspended in space looks wrong. As somebody who has worked on that line multiple times on my car, it should be much closer to the arm.

[@RobertDIY]

I know

[@garyi8608]

That is the dinkiest chicken salad sandwich have seen on here. Youch. Kidding around. How much was the sandwich?

[@RobertDIY]

It tasted good but gave me the shi@# about an hour later. Couldn't even make it to a bathroom. That's an entirely different storage. 🤦🏾‍♂️😆🫣
