Mad Scientist Combined A Volvo And A BMW In The Best Way Possible

[@scofab]

Adam is too modest to mention that this car was hit hard less than two months ago (in the blue livery seen earlier in the video) in the right rear quarter, and that he brought it back to this in that time, including the bodywork and a full repaint. Amazing skills. Kudos Brother. Shifted

Yes how does one talk to him

[@cdpgbc-mw2kz]

It never ceases to amaze the talent some people have......thanks for sharing the video so I, and others, can see what others can create.

[@andrer.boucher1137]

A stunning creation. I had several 122 Volvos over the years. This one would be an absolute blast to drive. I love the incorporated two door design and the creative ways to access the engine bay and the gas filler. This dude rocks. Much respect.

[@sdry]

Can't even imagine how many manhours that project must have taken. This man is pure genius. So many cool details. I specially loved that gas tank lid hidden behind the rear light.

[@jsc1227]

i wouldnt know where to begin with such a project.Some guys are really talented mechanical wise. Beautiful job

[@vazfx16]

I checked out his build thread a while back. Not only is he a super fabricator, he did the upholstery too!!!!! He literally did everything!!!! Awesome build

[@mortimergladbreath]

My beloved 240 was hit by a loose wheel 2 weeks ago. It struck the left front wheel and fender. I am left with having to repair it, as insurance wanted to total it. Having only 43K miles I just can't let that happen. Adam has inspired me that my work is minimal compared to what he did. Excellent job!

[@jamiesmith6838]

That Volvo / BMW hybrid is truly unique and amazing! Thanks for sharing that Henson.

No dude - it´s Amazon (Volvo!) ;)

Done in your driveway, wow, well done, great job

[@rickstard73]

Adam looks like such a great guy, modest and really with it, kudos to a great build brother, absolutely spectacular!!!

[@jadewombat]

Yep, most real fabricators are patient, even-tempered people (they're not all fab-bro!-cators). You have to be to have all the patience to do something right.

[@ifthebeltiscrackedor]

Theese ones were soo common imwhen I was a kid. I had one once. It's the most beautiful Volvo ever. Alwsys were a fan of stationwagons though. The rounded fenders in combination with the 90 degrees angles in the back is very nice. Greetings from Sweden!

Adam, that is terrific. This is proof with equal doses of patience , skill and imagination you too can do this. Well actually there are very few people who have all these prerequisites. Well done!

That is the Spyker logo. In Latin of course.

@@voornaam3191 Sort of, "Nulla tenaci invia est via", which is Latin for "For the tenacious, no road is impassable"

[@voornaam3191]

@@adamnonis7022 Ever met a tenacious? A conscious one? Weird English words, ending in cious. Only the Welsh are more complicated than those silly Brits, still using an antique tongue... And then Spyker never turned the world upside down. They make great cars, but finally making a profit would be nice. Is Spyker still alive?! How come? Why aren't they as successful as the famous Italian car brands? Why aren't they the leading car industry, by now? I really don't understand that. Get sorted, please.

[@fava7753]

Shows what can be achieved with thought and planning , excellent rebuild . That is exactly how I like to see them completed , clean , straight sleeper . Take my hat off to this guy for sure . Amazing .

[@knut3hundra649]

This is what many winter drifters do in sweden. Usually with the volvo 740 or 940, call them veemers.

[@adamnonis7022]

I thought Veemers were mostly just motor swaps?

[@knut3hundra649]

Adam Nonis Vemmer = volvo + beemer. But this might be a super local thing...

[@8eightfab520]

That man is a fabricator, on top of a mechanic. Amazing work!!

[@derfunkhaus]

The final result is so polished looking. Amazing project.

[@atvheads]

Amazon project.

[@marlintilcock9211]

I've never liked it when people have restomod station wagons but that car is clean I really really like it. Great job!

[@mikekuczynski1552]

Adam has a great mind at seeing what can be done . He was able to go through the process of finding a way to modernize a car I have always liked .Make it a two door wagon, fit it to a newer chassis with running gear and electrical and keep the original look . If you did not know that Volvo did not make.a two door you would think they all looked like this . Nice job on a not your everyday car ;-) I would like to see his tool box

[@tattoodfreeek]

Beautifully done. Looks awesome

[@SmOoThYwOoDy]

This is a beautiful work of art. And the hing work is so cool, couldn`t even tell the tail light was on a hing.

[@bigelk0]

This car is unbelievable! Crazy kool build!

[@saab9000black]

Nice car and execution!

[@palomino73]

This is metal-tailoring at it's finest; this guy is a true artist !

[@TheMainCore]

Wow. Just wow. Super impressed by this car and the craftsmanship of the owner.

[@shaneshanders6937]

Adam you are a extremely talented young man

[@sevenson7thson]

Great job. Choosing the old Volvo Amazon stationwagon chassi makes it all more beautiful. I love that design. Built across the river from where Im sitting now. Goteborg, Volvo factory. Insane project to merge the BMW and the Volvo. Top notch craftsmanship!!!

[@ZerokillerOppel1]

I normally only like classic cars when done factory correct but this!!! This is amazing!! Amazing skill, crafstmanship, ingenuity, etc..etc!! Congrats with your amazing build Sir!!

[@jibcano1777]

have been following him and his car on Instagram for some time and has come a loooong way haha

[@adamnonis7022]

I think about that a lot

[@Ricky-nq7lu]

I love the way he's being thinking outside the box in this build an he match together two car's I've loved from a kids. Top job man respect for all that thinking outside the box.

[@2529john]

What a tremendous piece of work and ended up with a fabulous car...Total respect for this guy!!

[@virian2010]

I will say this man did an excellent job on the recreation of a 122 series Volvo/BMW, wagon, He did a very good job on what he did and like a lot of people who set out to do a job like this he did complete the project.! You deserve a lot of reaspect for the creative idea!

[@jools182]

Really cool and humble guy, and a great build

[@lowKut]

Amazing build with so much attention to details. The owner seems pretty humble which make the car even more awesome.

[@crazyc99]

This is flipping amazing work!!! I thought I was a badass for taking the body off the chassis on my F250 super duty 7.3 in my drive way to replace the front timing cover and everything else in close proximity that needed refreshing in the process! But you my friend have taken things to a whooooole new level!!! Brilliant work Adam!

[@MrGaryGG48]

That work on your (our, I also have a 2000 F250!!) pickup is a huge project in the front yard and it was designed to do that. I'd enjoy watching the expression on the face of one of the Volvo engineers watching this video. This is one spectacular feat!!

[@rejekllingen1582]

What a Nice build!

[@TheHermitHacker]

I cant believe how that build worked! That guy not only had the vision but managed to pull it off. Nice!

[@TimeisReel]

That is one of the Sickest Builds...

[@mraidymaddful]

You should check out the Volvo Amazon Estate/Station Wagon belonging to the British motorcycle legend, Guy Martin. He has done a similar modification to his car with the two door conversion and a much more powerful engine. He has also done a Volvo 850 T5 Estate/Station Wagon and given it 850 bhp to play with. Well worth checking out..........

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

Beautiful details, filler cap under rear light, hood hinge with room for working, extremely well-built interior. And yeah, the exterior isn't bad either - beautiful clean lines! Absolutely great video! Cheers from Volvo country (Sweden that is, when the 122 was made - not the owner of today's Volvo brand...)

Just a great build all around and from a great guy to match. The attention to detail is off the charts. Specially, given there were 2 different cars involved in the build. It makes the build that much more special and the talent that much more incredible.
