[@DeanofMachines]

Nice to see that thing inside finally!!

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks dude

[@RichieRouge206]

Well done on getting those bolts out! God imagine trying to do that on a transverse engine. I love her Marc! Great video

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yeah much easier with all the front engine parts missing to. Thanks for watching buddy 👍

[@jameskyle380]

Looking good and real good progress. Brings back memories of rebuilding my 1996 940 front suspension rebuild and AC pipe replacement.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks buddy glad you enjoyed this one. We also have a video on 940 front suspension that was good fun to 👍

[@Slippingclutches91]

Another great Volvo video. Still have Werthers in our glovebox.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Aha love it! Thanks buddy

@@SimpsonsClassics That made me laugh when that brake spring flew out. Classic Comedy.

​@Slippingclutches91 I thought it was just me 😂

[@ricksampson6780]

Fantastic progress Marc, sorry to hear about your back prognosis, cheers.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks Rick glad you enjoyed the video. No need for sorry I have wanted some answers for some time now so it’s good, I have something to work with. 👍

Enjoyed the video. Good old red-block Volvo.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video 👍

No stopping us now. 😆

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Isn’t that a song lol 😂

[@heckmacbuff]

This is what we want to see, great job on those brakes. It's going to be so nice this car, and you can fix it all in the warm!!

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks! I am really enjoying working on this car.

[@aslandama]

Pub visit well deserved!

[@MiniDaly87]

Alot of work done there mate. Well done to Mr fire for the dig out your list is getting alot shorter very fast

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks buddy I am really enjoying working on this one. Can’t wait to drive it

[@beetle72]

Coming along nicely now, you might want to think about cutting the rear bump stops down if you're lowered. I would suggest removing the end bulge.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks! Yes this is a conversation we have had. But and she isn’t that low I am hoping it will be fine. But easy to address later down the line 👍

[@krisrernmoulson3242]

Èvening my brother found a volvo badge for you which I believe is being posted to you we are so grateful for the massive work that you are doing on my dad's car

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Hey yes he has been in contact with me. I am excited to have another part of the puzzle. Hopefully we see this car back out on the road soon. I am really enjoying bringing it back to life.

[@alanrollo2942]

Loving these vids on this car. I dont use the bolts for the discs either there only there to stop them falling off in the factory as they make there along the assembly line. well thats what im lead to believe

[@SimpsonsClassics]

I am glad I am not the only one who hasn't used them. For me like mentioned in the video the aftermarket wheels won't fit with them on. Thanks for watching.

[@andersaxelsson2196]

Awsome video boys 😊

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks buddy.

[@Tasmanian_D3vil]

Pins for brake pads should be install from inside to outside... All books says that!

[@tonypage1056]

Good video! I sympathise with your nervy back problem as I've got the same. It's a bastard as it limits what you can do. It'll soon be a driver, woohoo! Nothing wrong with US Pro tools, they're cheap but remarkable quality for the money.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks Tony. I am hoping this keeps speeding along nicely and we can get the car outside, and driving! Can’t wait! Cheers for watching 👍

[@lonmar2645]

You need to stop with all this progress. Its great seeing all the new parts on it.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

It’s great to see parts going on. Next step windscreen and then engine!

[@Andy-sh9eq]

First 👍. It's looking better than mine that was at Rustival, keep at it Marc

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Na yours is ten times nice buddy. Hopefully we can get these two together at some point. Thanks for watching 👍

[@Andy-sh9eq]

Regarding the brake disc securing bolt problem, go to screwfix and buy a stainless steel countersunk socket head bolts obviously the correct thread size, then countersink one of the original bolt holes in the disc, the wheels wont foul the bolt head, Do you have contact number so we can meet up for a show 👍

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Your reading my mind this is something I have been looking into. Drop me an email if what which events you plan to go to and we can work something out once this one is done and road ready. Email is in the description of the video, cheers buddy

[@Andy-sh9eq]

I have looked through the description and cannot find your email address
