How the hell can cry about basic Volvo 224 ? It is allways best to start as good car as possible when doing custom or restoration work. Thank you Peter !
While i agree that the people complaining are being a little overdramatic maybe, im not entirely agreeing with this take. These cars are getting harder and harder to find, and going up in price. A shitty but inspected daily that's been owned by 20 different kids, wrenched to hell with rust all over is still gonna be 15k SEK. Hell i got offered 15k for my project when i pushed it into the garage for the first time, and my car sat in the north swedish woods for 20 years. I dont know what Peter paid for his but i can tell you if he got it for less than 40k it was a good deal, and starting with a worse example would probably be better since he cut away every panel where rust comes on these cars anyway. Now it's still his car, and his money, which he can do with whatever he wishes under the limitatons of the law, and it's better the car turns into something at all rather than scrap metal or a dumbass 18yos personal punching bag. But to be fair to people who have a hard time with it, i understand it's not easy to watch something you would kill to own be cut up. I am although VERY happy it isn't being ruined by a hillbilly, and instead turned into something actually cool and useful, and i wish Peter the very best.
Greetings from the United States. The algorithm brought your channel to me the other day, really enjoy watching what you’re doing so far, the quality workmanship is great to see. 👍
Soo to me, the color of this chopped subframe looks a lot like the color of the R8. I just assumed that it wasn't possible to register/insure it and that this new project is the result of the kept parts. Am I right or does the R8 still exist? Edit: So he actually adresses it later in the video that these parts are not the R8
@@金安迪-g5q from what I recall from older videos is that the R8 was from Canada and got stolen and shipped to Dubai. He bought it in Dubai without knowing it was stolen and had no problems and had the vehicle on his name. Now that he wanted to import the R8 into Sweden they found out from the inspection that it was stolen. So I assume the government has the car for now while the investigation is going on.
Also: tehdä sutta ja sekundaa = make wolf and second class and just generally something being susi (wolf) means it is bad and doesn't do its job@@juhopeltola9110
You can measure the ratio on the diff without disassembling it. Mark the input and output flanges at 12 clock position. Count the inputshaft turns before output has done one rotation. If you have lets say a 3.70:1 you can turn the input shaft 3.7 times before the output shaft does on.
I think he wants to know what gear ratio the porsche version of that diff has. Hoping its a different ratio so he can use smaller diameter front tires then rear tires. I assume he knows the ratio of his diff that is seen ion the video.
Those welds will more than "do their job", they look great! And bending by hand is a real skill. You guys should be proud! Well done! look forward to seeing how this project evolves!
It might have been a pretty nice Volvo but you can't complain about cutting it up when it's gonna become one of the most badass volvos in the world when it's done 😎
Im a mig welder and i do some tig too. Im working in a scooter with an upgraded engine and it needs some work. I have a small welder at home but i get to weld some stuff at work for free. Nice welds though. Looking good
För att få fram utväxlingen, markera noll lägen på in ut utgående med en marker eller tejp, vrid utgående för hand ett 10 tal varv medans du räknar varven på ingående
Riktigt fränt bygge, ska bli kul att följa detta! 😛👌 Rätt komiskt, tidigare idag så fick jag ett vänförslag till dej från facebook, o sen när jag gick ut på tuben nu i natt så va detta avsnitt rekommenderat för mej! Haha 🤣🤣👌
Nice to see the progress! Despite a little bit of rust, that's still a rather decent base to start from, and I agree cleaner base are better. Google suggest 991 Turbo S' front diff ratio is 3.33:1, but I'll wait & see actual owner/mechanic to answer the proper numbers.
Bra jobbat 👍 du kan böja ett par rör till vanliga vinklar och skriva på rören hur mycket spring back och dom har och göra markeringar och se hur mycket rör det går åt för den böjen, bra att ha i närheten så behöver man inte gissa.
How do you get the bends in the tubes exactly where they need to be? Like, in exactly the right position? How do you make sure the center point of the radius is exactly in the right place? Seems super difficult...
I am not fan of big rear tyres, then it will no longer matter if it was real volvo or just a fiberglass shell, since it wont look like Volvo anyway, just an dragster. Instead put couple of tires both sides on rear axle, like trucks have. :P ps. Does anything really prevent from doing slight hump / bulge in the middle of the firewall? That way there can be more room for seats but then between seats it can come forward to allow more room around engine.
I’m building something almost identical! Starting with the shell of a 79 camaro and I’ll be buying an R8 rear chassis soon. How do you plan on connecting the aluminum chassis to the steel chassis?
I searched you for YEARS! Because of that supra video with the remix umbrella song 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and i just happened to find you on RU-vid by coincidence lol
Other than us finns and swedes knows what the hell are Wolf parts. It took even me some time to understand what are you talking about. Of course it's entirely possible that I'm not the sharpest pencil in the drawer.
Arm chair commenters that think you shouldn't cut up a car should spend the money and buy the car themselves. You buy it, you get to do with it what you want. Don't like it? Buy a car yourself and do better instead of spending the time whining in other peoples comments.
It can be quite difficult to get the notch in the correct position using the holesaw, minor material removal can be achieved by gluing some 40 grit sandpaper on a piece of pipe in the lathe chuck . Then spin the sandpaper against the end of the pipe for minor adjustments in length.
Hade vart najs om du försökte hålla ett orginalliknande utseende på bilen. Kanske grupp A stuk? Men att bygga en "plast raket" hade inte riktigt passat dig med tanke på tidigare byggen. Du känns mer "orginal'ish".
Great video. Good luck with the R8 Hope it gets out on the street. What happens to the 245 then. You know you're so good. Waiting for the next clip. Have the best from Sweden.
"mint 240" lol. Peter, I think you have the basis here for a car name and/or paint color (mint green!) I give you kudos for giving the "mint 240" another more exciting second life!
To determine gear ratio, if you block one wheel side of the diff, then turn the other one 2 full turns, you get someone to count how many turns the propshaft flange did, that number of turns is the diff ratio (X turns :1)
Jag har sett folk använda ett frässtål istället för hålsåg, kan tänka mig att det blir lättare att smyga sig fram till rätt längd då, kanske kan vara värt att kolla på?
I may be missing something with that front differential in particular, but can't you just mark a point on the stub shaft and the pinion/driveshaft then count how many turns the stub shaft does per 1x revolution of the pinion to find what ratio it is?
Riktigt coolt bygge och det verkar ju vara din bil och då gör du väll va du vill med just DIN bil, är det någon som blir ledsen så kan de ju köpa en egen bil och bevara🙂
I know you're going to hate this comment, but I'm not sure about those forward tubes. I'd think you should have made them in a single piece, going along the roof line and then all the way down to the floor of the chassis, and then added the roof line crossmember, and the dash level crossmember between them afterwards. I'm not sure the way you have it configured is nearly as safe. In particular the dash level crossmember being sandwiched between the A pillar tube and the (I don't know what else to call it) "front firewall" tube. The vertical one near where the original firewall would have been in the Volvo.And then the way the upper door bar attaches... I realize that my ass isn't an engineer and so my seat of the pants feelings aren't engineering, but that joint just makes me wince.
Yes that is the normal way to do it in most cages in most genres. But in dragracing this is allowed and it is how most build their 6.0 cages. The rules are made to make it safe enough. I do not feel to make the cage extra safe, it is just myself that is going to race in it ;)
there are a lot of old volvos around cutting up this one is no big deal...that engine looks backwards to my Lamborghini engine maybe a weight distribution issue
