1990 740 turbo wagon

1990_740turbo · 06-13-2010, 12:36 AM

since my 740 got nailed. i traded the piece of sheet focus for this beauty:D

78k miles on the clock. whaaaaat? lol seriously.

owned by teachers. had a like 5 different college/university stickers.
guy traded it to me for my focus because he saw that i wanted to restore the care to its full glory +a standard transmission

dreams of holset and megasquirt with browntops.
we'll see what happens.

i have a 15g on my other car. probably going to place it upon the manifold.
ill post pics of the interior later. by far the most impressive part of the car.

Awesome! 78k is pretty dope
Glad to hear you've got a Volvo DD again! & a wagon to boot!

1990_740turbo · 06-13-2010, 12:52 AM

:] im pretty psyched thing is nice.
exhaust looks ghetto.
id like to do timing belt and waterpump. due to age factor.
needs a PS belt.

RDC · 06-13-2010, 01:27 AM

Just do all the belts at once with the water pump.
Nice and easy to have everything off at once :D

1990_740turbo · 06-13-2010, 01:56 AM

I cleaned mine well soap/water/rubbing alcohol and then I used two coats of Krylon Fusion. Looks great and holds up great.

I have some center caps for the Hydras if you need them.

DNAsEqUeNcE · 06-13-2010, 11:33 AM

you'll need bigger then browntops for a holset.

You must have or know some one with a heat gun. It's very therapeutic, trust me. I considered calling a friend round to do his car too...

BoostedSwede · 07-11-2010, 05:55 PM

i got my 15g in new hampshire waiting for me to get studs for the turbo. i need an mbc though. somebody stole mine GG.

xrayjeeper83 · 07-12-2010, 12:20 PM

the heat gone idea looks like it works great. Wonder how long it lasts

1990_740turbo · 07-12-2010, 01:29 PM

from what i heard doesnt last longer than a year. i bought "foreverblack" from ipd.
ill have pics after i use it :]

1990_740turbo · 07-24-2010, 09:13 PM

dye sucked. i used krylon fusion. good outcome. pics at some point.

1990_740turbo · 07-25-2010, 02:54 PM

this is what i did today. shocks + swaybar action
rear left still seems to be lower than right rear maybe an excuse for sport springs...

WindowsBreakerG4 · 07-26-2010, 04:27 PM

I have that issue even with my ipd springs, would love to know what causes it

thevolvokid · 07-26-2010, 04:45 PM

was your gas tank full?

That's why lol

tt300zx · 07-26-2010, 05:37 PM

Nacho brings up a good point, a full gas tank can lower the vehicle slightly on one side.

1990_740turbo · 07-26-2010, 09:20 PM

dude i never got a full tank. get outta here. only rich people roll around with their full tanks of gas.

BoostedSwede · 07-26-2010, 10:07 PM

The left side sits lower than the right side because Volvo put everything on the left side. Battery, driver and driver controls, gas tank, etc. Mine sits about 1/4"-1/2" lower on the left, even with sport springs.
