Hello and welcome to my channel! My name is Dan Maley and I have restored numerous cars, boats, houses and RVs. Growing up in Detroit, my first auto enthusiasm began with a 67 400 Firebird and led to my ownership of 11 of these cars! I enjoyed adding options from other firebirds to this first car and I owned it 31 years before selling it. My wife and I have 7 children so my focus shifted to providing a safe driving platform. This, along with a close friend’s urging to try these amazing cars, I got hooked…bad!
31 cars later, I’ve built a number of cars using a “stock-plus”approach of adding OEM upgrades to make my cars look, feel, and perform better. This has led to meeting and learning from some of the best in the game; Robert Spinner, Ben McNally, Hussein Holland, Daniel Warsh, Steve Carile, Calvin Sonniksen, Dave Barton and many, many others have helped, inspired and encouraged me. I have never forgotten my first car and soon plan to unveil my next project, so stay tuned!

This car was loaned to a close friend who drove it for 5 weeks while waiting for his tornado damaged car to return from the body shop. Two days before he was to get his car, the 240k fuel pump decided it was over… So she has patiently waited for her turn, about two months now. Now it’s not that hard to change the fuel pump, however, I have plans to go fwd in this car also so that changes the fu...

Does 1/2 the story, the other half is to be determine. Nice work
Thanks H!
Thanks Dan !
Thanks for watching!
Do you have any more details about the brake line you removed from the AWD V70R rear suspension? Are you going to then need / use one or more brake lines from the FWD rear suspension on the S70?
On the laser build I was able to leave the awd lines, shorten and flare them to mate to the c70 rear lines. It was pretty easy. On the 98Saff, Robert and I kept the entire lines intact from the fuel rail back from both systems. However the donor s70 line was crushed slightly, so I’ll harvest what is needed from the two cars to make one good line (cut/flare). Great question!
@@handydand thank you for that information. It is very helpful. My friend and I are planning on doing C70 rear subframe conversions on our 2 x P80 V70Rs.
Glad to see you haven’t run out of things to wrench on :)
Thanks John! Lots to do as always (as you know, lol!)
Two peas in a pod lol, another good video Dan & Robert!!!
Thanks! Yeah we tend to laugh a lot when we get together! But we get a lot done!
Nice! Robert helped me with installing the new headliner on my 850R Wagon & fixed my sunroof, along with installing my new heater core. Huge help ! Robert had just gotten the Yellow T5-R wagon right before helping me - I think he said he got it in Washington State.
That's great to hear - Robert's a huge help to the Volvo community!
Nice to see the 2 amigos together.
Thanks H! Yeah we had a blast a were productive as well!
Very good time. 👍🏾
Great seeing you my friend!
But now, you have only one remote control, How do you make a copy? I have only one too and the workshop manual says that we have to go to Volvo dealer and reconfigurated all keys too. Any other options? Ty man.
There are locksmiths that can do this (none in my area though). The dealer may be your best bet. You can always ask via the FB pages or the on line forums for help as well. Thanks for watching!
I have a 1998 C70. I don't know if I have this right. It looks as though you purchased a new module with a fob that was programmed to it, swapped it out with the module that came with the car. Where does one find that kit and what is the price? Also, I found what looks to be one of the remotes that came with the car embedded into the carpeting near to under the seat. It looks like it was never used. I understand that I would need a VST2000 device to program it and that device is no longer out there, not even at dealerships. I guess I would like to at least know where to get that kit. Thanks!
I sourced my kit from a parts car I owned. Look for a partout of a same year car. You can also put up a request on the forums or even check eBay. I do not know of a source other than this. Thanks for watching!
Is there a way to remove the 2 green plugs easily from the remote module,it has me confounded?
They both have a small square button to release them. Hope that helps!
Stainless impeller? Wonder if that's a GRAF housing (more Italian). Seems like same quality as GMB/HEPU if it's old!
Hmmm. The impeller was stainless I believe. I don’t recall seeing any other names on the unit. It’s now been recycled so I can’t check it further. Thanks for watching!
What did you do that others were not successful at? Some said their carpet turned green.did you use salt? Is the secret using hot water? Berber carpet?
Thanks for the good questions; I have had no fading or other issues. The hot water is what the dye manufacturer calls for so worked on ensuring the dye and the Berber carpet were as hot as I could get them. I also used a heat gun to heat the carpet and set the dye. Also, lots of brushing to ensure proper coating. Thanks for watching!
Nice find. Wire gremlins are the worst.
Yep and this car is full of them! I’ll keep at it until she’s reliable! Thanks for watching!
BUGATTI PA10040 is the part lol
I am not familiar with them; are they reliable? Just curious because the Aisin pump has proven to be. Thanks
@handydand id never use that lol always stick with asin
It's italian also pumps wine and pizza sauce
Oh wow, maybe I should’ve kept it for pumping booze and sauce, lol! Thanks for watching!
Dan thanks for sharing I really look forward to seeing your videos
Thanks Terry! Had a rash of car repairs that we did the past month that really filled my schedule. Thanks for watching and I have more coming soon!
Nice work, of course once you take that bottle out of the cold water then it'll just get hot again. I might end up doing this method for my truck carpet, think I'll test the bottle out with hot water first see if it holds up to the heat. At those temps it could be risky.
Yep I get it; I was worried it would melt, but it held up ok. Thanks for watching and good luck in your carpet work!
Above all you should have measured the exact amount you took out and replaced w the same amount...
Yes and even better if you put more in!
I was thinking of doing this by building a tub and soaking it in the hot dye bath. Thanks Dan !
Interesting! That may be easier!
Did this change the texture or softness of the carpet?
Not that I can tell; thanks for watching!
thanks for the advise Dan, exactly what I needed to know :)
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

Looks like you been busy, belt is tight as some jeans.

Interesting, that Continental is what I have on my 96 850. Mine is a NA engine, however.

Looking good, Dan!

Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
Благодаря за видеото 👌😘❤️ и аз имам същият проблем и утре ще пробвам да направя същото. Но да попитам няма ли друг изход ??? Благодаря още Веднъж❤❤❤
This is the best way I’ve found. Hope it works for you, and thanks for watching! Please let me know your results!
When did you get a S60R?
About 3 weeks ago. My son Luke got his car totaled by a distracted driver who ran a stop. This popped up and it’s his new car once we dial it in…
Great video Dan. It was great seeing you again up north! Lol keep up the great work.
Thanks it was great seeing you as well! Fun sharing car projects once more!
Dan Great video. Was it difficult to put the keyway back. Any trick to doing it?
Hi Algar, Just make sure the key is fully down in the key way and I use some oil to lube the shaft. Also check for and remove any burrs that may be present. Thanks for watching!
It's good to hear that the fuel pump made it to 240k.
Yeah but it’s time. Dw200 in a fwd tank will do the trick! Thanks for watching my friend!
Beautiful car Dan…love the Saff😆
Thank you! And thanks for watching Mike!
I enjoyed watching the video. :>)
Thank you MrMark and also for watching!
Thank you for sharing your experience here. I have a 2004 chevy colorado with 409k miles ive owned since highschool and i have completely removed the original molded carpet for the first time. I plan to do your procedure here. The only difference is I'm going to use an old devilbiss paint gun for the application. Ill have the water mixture as hot as possible. I want to ensure the best possible results because this truck is a lot more than just a truck to me. I want to keep it original and as pristene as i can muster.
Thank you for watching! I hope your carpets come out better than new!
I need a booklet like that for my 84 242
I gave that to a dear friend who helped me find Gertrude!
I repainted a 1964 spyder convertible many years back. They have some very interesting body lines and shape. Lots of curves to sand. That one looks good.
Yeah Jon they are a unique body style! Was yours white?
@@handydand it was a dark blue, the owner thought it was supposed to be Livy blue but we checked the paint code and went back original
Where could i find louvers?
Try eBay?
My parents had a yellow 64 Monza 4 speed convertible from new, I think it made it through a decade or so of Wisconsin winters before the now crusty & leaking fumes remainder of it (though still running fine!) was parked out next to the garden by my Dad, where I used to hop in periodically as a kid & play "drive" it, always with the fine bouquet of the mouse nest in the glovebox 😁 if they'd had Volvo-level metal I might still be driving it! I still love Corvairs, I also had a brown 63 coupe 4 speed for a time as a daily, in the 90's one Wisconsin winter, other than the floorboard hole the rest of it still pretty solid 😆 & really, a hella good snow car!
Thank you for sharing! Obviously these are special cars that bring back fond memories; thanks for watching!
I wonder how many Laser blue Rs made it to the States ?
150 to North America; 50 in 1999 and 100 in 2000. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!
How do you get a car to the crusher if you've pulled the wheels? I see you're missing the fronts. Do they slip a big dolly under it for transportation?
I have a set of steel Dollie’s that I put under the car; the scrapper has a flat bed and drags it up with a winch. My son also helped with lifting the front with our engine hoist.
Lseat has nice quality, 'exact' style (very close to OEM) leather upholstery for $349 for 2 front seats or $349 for rear seat. I think customers in the past have sent in their old upholstery to be manufactured, and Lseat uses the old upholstery as a template for the new leather. They then add that template to their library. I got my 850R upholstery from them, and it's nice. Jesse Wildman upgraded my 850R brakes to the S60R/V70R brakes. Caliper adapter brackets from SpeedingParts in Europe. Requires 17" wheels. Made a big improvement in the braking power.
I considered those seats but since I wanted to repurpose parts from the parts car we dyed them and they came out very nice. Still considering what to do with the brakes; I may just rebuild what’s there.
would be nice to have a link to the product...
