Volvo 740 Rear End Rebuild, Rust Repair, Lift Kit and Trailing Arm Repair Pt. 1

In this episode, I remove the rear axle, suspension, fuel tank and rear subframe for restoration. I also perform quite a bit of rust repair to the rear floor pan, frame rails and rockers. Furthermore; I talk about this volvo 740's suspension lift. Everything will get put back together in the next episode.

Refreshing to see a to the point video going at it from start. There are too many videos out there with a lot of waffling and hot air. Good work on the video and the car👍

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Glad you enjoyed it!

This is great content. Just the right balance of explanation and sped up work. Carry on, I think you are headed in the correct direction.

Tu trabajo es deslumbrante. No haz hecho absolutamente nada mal. Envidio tu habilidad para trabajar el metal.

Barefoot welding and grinding that is a new one for me. Either way this video really made a good guide to change my rear axle! Thumbs up.

[@markyYE]

I have a volvo 940 classic that I have been doing this kind of work on for about 4 years and this content is extremly helpful. Thank you very much!

The differential is a G80 locker original to some 740s and 940s. Also, both the 740 and 940 come with live rear axles and the multilink independent suspension

Just picked up a 1985 Volvo 740 diesel ,new england car with lots of under body rust ,so really enjoy your channel, keep up the entertainment

[@bobvannunen]

I love your videos! Greatings from the Netherlands

[@FRESHP0T4T0]

It is amazing to see how you guys in america just weld something from an old bumper or shock absorber into a control arm to repair or even improve it. In germany, if the car inspector sees that, he would instantly remove the license plate so you can no longe drive the car in traffic because it is a dangerous and illegal modification. Best gegards from germany!

The mounts for the springs was very impressive.

[@gert-jandejong1832]

Now that's some nice work! Hoping to see many more of these kind of vids 👍👍

[@KallePaloheimo]

very nice video. oh boy that car is rusty. reminds me of my -99 nissan almera with 421tkm on it. it had 1/5 stars in crash test when it was new, so it was as safe as a wet cardboardbox. i always enjoy your goofing around at the end of the video. also, very good content all around :)

[@nhraman76]

Nice work overall. Enjoyed the video format. Definitely inspired me to get moving on my 740 wagon, I'm very thankful mine is a southern car, but it would look better with bed liner over factory tar lol

[@hugolindeberg4834]

Enjoyed this a lot and learned a few things to, Thank you for posting!

[@carlkarlsson2969]

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Yup! Finally found injectors, so I'll be putting it back together in a month or so.

I really appreciate your style, your way of talking, the cars you work on and the editing. This is one of my facoureite channels!👌 Hopefully we'll see this channel grow, you deserve it as much as those with a couple of hundred thousands of subscribers! Curious if you never get metal shards or similar in your feet walking around bare foot in the shop?🤔 With love from Sweden!👍

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

They certainly are, that car just had too many paperwork issues for it to be worth it :/ it will live on through the two wagons I'm working on (and a secret future project)

[@DrAppleCrispies]

I think my volvo had the same pre ious owner lol

[@papplet1]

Your rear axle is from a 940 and they are from the beginning a dana 30 axle

[@bakedbeansgarage116]

Thanks for the info, I was wondering.

[@hal8226]
