IMO, if he takes any car on this vs that it should be the Rally Miata. The Volvo wagon is gonna be sick but the Rally Miata is truly one of kind, people have done “sleeper” builds before.
I'm extremely excited to see this build being done. I really can't wait to see the next video. This car is going to be a screamer down the track. I really hope that you take it to a quarter mile drag strip to see how fast it will go. I really think that you should put a rollcage in it too. At least a 6 or 8 point cage and you should definitely do sub frame connectors to make it stronger so that you don't twist the car in half.
Would like to see the Volvo cleaned up. Keep it the same color, but give it one of those immaculate paintjobs, sanded, buffed to mirror finish. Crystal clear windows new windshield, new lights. :)
Hey @Gingium make sure you remove the brake pressure warning switch from the distribution block and cap that bung with a plug! The threads are M12x1.0, you'll also need a copper gasket to act as a washer. The rubber o ring on the sensor likes to spontaneously pop out of place, and all of your brake fluid will leak out within minutes. This is exacerbated by hard braking, which you'll be doing with all that power. Same thing happened on my '85 244, stay safe, and happy building!
It’s really amazing how far a person can go if he really wants it and loves what he’s doing I was watching your old miata videos earlier today and now seeing how far the shop has come is just amazing
I really love and want to tickel my balls with rabbit fur wonder how far I can take it. Played out nothing original about it. LS swap everything and anything was over a long time ago BORING!!!!!!!!!
looks sick! I think you should make the sleeper wagon a clean wagon instead. the underside and under the hood came out so nice makes me want to see it all nicely done! great job 👏!!!
Ging, take my advice. You have lovely machine equipment. Your next project should be comparably easy. Find a Trackmaster frame or a Honda 175 or 350. Make a cool cafe racer. I’ve built both. They’re so much fun. And I’ve got the name of an engine builder who will NEVER let you down when it comes to bikes.
I honestly feel like This Channel doesn’t get as much Recognition that it deserves. I can’t think of another car TH-camr that is as satisfying to watch working on or building a car.
So happy to see it back. This series is really inspiring and makes me want to jump in on my own projects. One tip - you can usually disassemble connectors and swap pins to different spots, just one less connection that can ever have issues, and comes together cleaner and quicker. Lots of depinning tools on amazon to release the tabs and let you swap pins.
This thing is/and is going to be amazing. With all that sweet sweet noises is it actually going to be a sleeper though. Also great video and it’s nice to see you upload more often lately Keep up the good work👍🏼👍🏼
I’m glad to see the Volvo back, missed that car!! For future builds when cleaning/degreasing parts, try out Meguiars D143 Non-Acid Wheel & Tire cleaner. It’s cheaper than the Gunk since you can get it in a gallon, 5 gal or 55 gal. It’s dillutable and works really good to strip all sorts of build up off engine, chassis and driveline components. Plus it clears wheels and tires really well!
You gotta do a ChrisFix headlight clean on that thing and make them look brand new, but I guess it is meant to be a sleeper so the cloudy headlights help achieve that effect. I still think it'd look better and still look like a sleeper with clear headlights, though.
Jus to let you know ....if you pull off thoes volvo badges off of the fenders...there is a hole cut where you can install volvo v70(p80 chassis) side markers ...looks kinda Kool did it to mine...good job of the volvo man
Just something that came to mind, you should look into getting a sand blaster thingy to clean those surface rusty parts off! Maybe unneccessary but would be cool imo
Don’t overthink the powder coating, I have a Eastwood powder coater, and I get better quality doing it myself then when I took my stuff to a “professional”. Took half a day before it was a breeze.
There’s a meme that someone made of the Fast & Furious moment when they pop the hood on the Supra. Jesse says “whoa. Junkyard 5.3… 500 dollars in eBay nitrous, and this will decimate any and all..”
@Gingium you rock and I watch everything you put out... I just want to say that I think you would enjoy building a whip with an NA big block. You'd have fun, and Murica :)
Plasma table was such a great investment. I love watching you fabricate stuff in a flash. It really adds that professional touch to your builds.
Easily the single biggest upgrade in efficiency and quality for my fabrication! I love it too!
I was so confused as to what that was. I was like, "A water jet table that produces sparks?!"
@@_Gingium_ where are you located? I have a 98’ s90 and would love to do an engine swap
CNC plasma.
@@TURBOMIKEIFY plasma 😉 very expensive tho
As a swede it awesome to see an old swedish car like this. Well done guys👍👍
I would love to see this on "This vs. That" when it's done! I hope it does 🙏
Fuck yess!
IMO, if he takes any car on this vs that it should be the Rally Miata. The Volvo wagon is gonna be sick but the Rally Miata is truly one of kind, people have done “sleeper” builds before.
yes please!!!
That sounds phenomenal, amazing build super invested in this build. You are doing an awesome job with this thing, can't wait for a full rip.
Thank you!
everytime Gingium drop a new video its better than the previous one , EVERYTIME
I dunno man, tinting the taillights and stickerbombing the centre console of his focus in his university parking lot was pretty lit
@@Pheatan lol

Sounds AMAZING!!! Now i cant wait to see the suspension and brake set up!!!!!!
Working on it currently and it’s turning out great!
I love the orange block and how simple and clean the build is. Extra credit with the gold heat tape. Looks amazing. Sounds amazing.
Would like to see the Volvo cleaned up. Keep it the same color, but give it one of those immaculate paintjobs, sanded, buffed to mirror finish. Crystal clear windows new windshield, new lights. :)
You Stanceworks and Taylor Ray are my favourite automotive TH-cam channels because you guys go all the way and that mostly by yourself so impressive

Been watching you since your forza days, love to see how far you have come!
Ok that first 20 seconds was INSANE. The drill bit into the belt sander grooved so hard.
Yeah, that editing was like too good for a random car video
the bay looks so much cleaner this time man, looks badass.
22:08 ,ahh love the sound of a rotary in the morning. So exited to see this build back in action!
My guy it's an LS 💀
@@ajc8595 it's almost like I could of made a joke about the choppy idle and rpm signal being lost making it sound like a rotary......
So excited for this build, it has come such a long way in such a short time. Shout out to y’all!!
I've missed this channel so much. You've done so much since I last watched. I'll be binging when I have time so I can catch up.
Centerforce Clutches ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man I wish I had your tools/machines and welding skills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn bro, I forgot how much I love this build. So happy it's back.
Oh man, you just went from badass, to SEMA level! Looks awesome man.

The engine bay really does look great! I have a Centerforce clutch for my WRX, just haven't put it in yet. Exciting to hear this thing live again.
Good for you Caleb ! Keep on truckin! 🤘🏼
Watching Chris fix while setting that bearing. Nice!
Nice Mighty Car Mods chopped fingers t-shirt! The volvo looks & sounds fantastic! Proper awesomeness!
Love that you’re utilizing that plasma cutter 👍🏾👍🏾 what a difference having a shop and the right tools made. Keep creating bro. 😎
On my Volvo the identification plate says; Made in the Netherlands.
Very nice job there Gingium!
This thing is/and is going to be amazing. With all that sweet sweet noises is it actually going to be a sleeper though.
Also great video and it’s nice to see you upload more often lately
Keep up the good work👍🏼👍🏼
Dude, no bullshit, other than the Dadson this is my favorite build you’ve done. I love this car!
This thing sounds so gnarly, I love it. I can tell the sleeper Volvo Mark 2 is going to be a street menace
Waaaaaay better than Mark 1 which was ALREADY insane!
@@_Gingium_ would have loved to see you mod the stock redblock engine throw a turbo on it and build it
this thing sound so damn rowdy - you can almost FEEL the power of that engine 😍😍😍
Work of art. Love these volvos.
Always thought when I had mine that the engine bay was so big that a crazy big motor would go in. Awesome work lads
Hell yeah man! Haven't even started but excited to finish
I use to work with a dude named Winston Smith, back in 2010-202. He had a Volvo Wagon that made 380whp. It made all kinds of amazing sounds.
I always think of Bamse's Turbo Underpants when I watch your channel. Volvo gang!
Lethal, absolutely brilliant mate.. great fabrication skills buddy👍🏴🇺🇸

My god that sounds frekin awesome. Made me smile when you got it starting with minimal cranking.
I've been here since the Build or Bought days and man... I gotta say I love your channel ?
You gotta do a ChrisFix headlight clean on that thing and make them look brand new, but I guess it is meant to be a sleeper so the cloudy headlights help achieve that effect. I still think it'd look better and still look like a sleeper with clear headlights, though.
I have so much respect for you guys building all this stuff, really impressive!
As a Swede I approve this 👌
Bra jobbat ! ( good job! )
Haven't watched you in forever so I've got a LOT of catching up to do. Awesome video!
Hell yeah. Watching Taylor Ray in the background. You'll have to take him for another rip with this smexy beast.
Jus to let you know ....if you pull off thoes volvo badges off of the fenders...there is a hole cut where you can install volvo v70(p80 chassis) side markers ...looks kinda Kool did it to mine...good job of the volvo man
Like the subtle nod to Taylor Ray with one of his videos, haha.
Really nice background music. Thank you!
Was here form the start amazing to see you grow form froza days and promoting your Channel to my friends 🥺🥺
Yess, the Swedish brick is back more powerful than ever great job
Haven’t watched in a while. Love seeing diy guys watch diy guys. S/O to Taylor Tay
I feel your excitement Caleb especially following the eclipse build...... 👍👍👍
Just giving you props on the very great video quality, one of the best.
Piece of art!
LOL, that is why they call it Foot Pounds !!
The euro oil and then pan to the Sweden vin plate was top notch 👍
man i love those proper crimps. well done.
Learned from the best 🙏
@@_Gingium_ definitely not me lol, I'm a goof
A trick with twin turbod C5 corvette was to get NASCAR wires extra long make your own wire and hide them inside the inner fender
With all the plasma cutting you should start designing your parts with a tab and slot. That way you can weld without bolting it to the car.
Awesome, absolutely love it!!! Greetings from Holland
Yesssss, the build we’ve all been waiting for!
Love the channel man. Your attention to detail and quality of build is inspiring.
Need to take this down to florida for a Dr Tune em all tune
Man that thing sounds good! Can't wait to see it on the road. Thats quite the shaker.
Just something that came to mind, you should look into getting a sand blaster thingy to clean those surface rusty parts off! Maybe unneccessary but would be cool imo
I have a harbor freight sandblaster but it aint great. Needs some mods and the air compressor needs some revamping
@@_Gingium_ sounds epic 😍
A Volvo like this one is the perfect shell for a project like this. I love it
All of you guys that use hard mounts to put engines in are nuts. That has to vibrate like crazy.
There are bushing in these mounts! Both on the engine and trans side. This is more the entire car shaking than small vibrations.
Don’t overthink the powder coating, I have a Eastwood powder coater, and I get better quality doing it myself then when I took my stuff to a “professional”.
Took half a day before it was a breeze.
Can’t wait to see this thing at the drag strip!
Powdercoat setup would be so nice! Great video, as usual.
Your volvo has to have a go at hoonigans "this vs that", so excited for the finished result!
Badass, and you realized it is not a sleeper because they never made a V8 version. It is a beast and sounds like one.👍
damn i looove how fast and crisp it starts
8:25 peep the Taylor Ray cameo
Just found your channel, think I'll be losing a few hours going back through your older stuff. First thing I noticed was your MCM T-shirt ✌️
There’s a meme that someone made of the Fast & Furious moment when they pop the hood on the Supra. Jesse says “whoa. Junkyard 5.3… 500 dollars in eBay nitrous, and this will decimate any and all..”
Man what an amazing build and team you have ! Y’all are killing it, keep up the great work!
Sounds really smooth
@Gingium you rock and I watch everything you put out... I just want to say that I think you would enjoy building a whip with an NA big block. You'd have fun, and Murica :)
Nothing beats a V8 with a nice chop🤌🏼 congrats man keep up the good work!
Yaaaahhh buddyyy, gingium toreto doin wheelies in da volvo !
So happy this build is back. The sleeper Volvo is what got me into the channel, and I'm very happy seeing it get some love.
Need sleeper videos with this later! Awesome build!!
Hi from France,this lS sounds pretty damn good ! long to see how it performs.
Heureux de savoir que je ne suis pas le seul français ici !👍
so happy to see this car run again good job gingium!
caleb, Make a paint stand. lol. Shop full of tools but zip ties and hands to paint lol. Love it
I must have missed the patreon notification for this video, anyway I'm watching this now and can't for the volvo to rip again sounds so good
Very nice I can’t wait to see the first rip and burnout. I love this car
Let's go let's go volvo for the frekaing win baby
Get it…. “Foot lbs” 😂. Great job guys loving this build and love old Volvo wagons!
love this, especially since I'm a pretty big Volvo fan.
When this is finished, it needs to make it to hoonigan! Zac would be proud of the chop!
Look into finishing lines for brake lines. They are pricey but so nice!!
Love it, greetings from Sweden 👍🏻🇸🇪
Would be SO awesome to see that car on a dragstrip! 😁😁😍
