Pls restore the car and paint it can't see rust in your car pls bro
@@teluguboyfromkerala1293 its suposed to look "bad" ;)
@@teluguboyfromkerala1293 it's meant to be a sleeper
Atleast fix the rust pls keep it as old but fix the rust
@@teluguboyfromkerala1293 it's just rust on the panels, rust does not matter unless it's on the frame 🙂
As a Swede born in the 90's when my parents had a Vovlo 245 (I was probably made in the 245 as well), this really warms my heart :)
the shaggin stationwagon
Bruhh💀
I wish I was made in a Volvo 245.
We had our 940 turbo through three kids and the equivalent of a trip to the moon! Then we sold it to an enthusiast who put on another 100k mi. Best car ever! 👍🏼😎✌🏼
My parents had a 145 and then a 245... Fond memories of my childhood.
This is honestly the best sleeper I've ever seen. Love the rust patches and galvanized exhaust, nobody sees that thing coming. Good work, friggin awesome.
Look up Project Binky.
Looks wise definitely...but you could probably hear it from a mile away, lol
Yeah, a huge waste of time, resources and money... your dudes thought it was cool... but the ladies obviously still think you're a dork. Finally, why did you seriously pick a Volvo? Just Stupid.
They might not see it but for sure they'll hear it 🤣
I love how you double the amount of cylinders but there is still loads of space left lol
because its a car you could service yourself with basic tools ... days long gone
@@QurttoRco new cars have literally zero space under the hood, its absurd. even changing the belt is no longer an easy job on alot of new cars
If Im not mistaken, that Volvo was developed for a V6 or a V8, there are rare V6 versions of it out there, but the V8 was cancelled completely due to the oil-crisis when the 240-model were in late stages of release.
its has OHV valve system, so the engine head is much smaller, plus the engine is V shape, so its more vide per same displacement and cylinder count
@@MaskinJunior the volvo 264 is fitted with the PRV-V6 which was originally intended to be a v-8 but due to the oil crisis in the early 70s basically 2 cylinders were cut of and was made into a v-6. I have seen very rare examples of 240s engine swapped with a v-6 but not sure if some were factory fitted with them
Droopy ceiling fabric ftw.
It ain’t a 90’s car without a droopy headliner 😂
Love the videos Destin! Made my day seeing this comment.
Yooo it's the legend himself haha weird to think that I've been watching both of you for a bit over half a decade
Hey Destin, what's your next side project? Loved the collab on the baseball cannon.
😂 One reason we sold our '95 940 turbo! (After ≈250k miles) 👍🏼😎✌🏼
Aye Destin!!
May the algorithm gods favor this video for its splendor and glory. Amen.
Beautiful Volvo build! Love the stock exhaust tailpipe and rusty tailgate haha
fun fires coming out the rear
rust in a volvo..... no way 😊
Rust is just weight reduction
You know the chances of a station wagon sucking in fumes is high, right?
Maybe some ♿️ stickers?
Lol yes so no one knows! 😆
Imagine how much power he could make in 20 minutes, wait I already made this comment on the Rallyata video
LOL
1400. Easy question.
Original content is for noobs amirite
That's funny dude
Depends if we would be even allowed these cars
I remember some years ago, there was a guy with a 4 door Volvo similar age, that swapped in a 5.0L from a 90s Mustang. It even had that trademark 5.0L V8 sound from the exhaust. I’d hear it pulling around the parking lot and kept looking for a Mustang, but would see this Volvo.
"Kept looking for a Mustang, but would see this Volvo." 😳
😂
That's the thing with (V8) sleepers - if you want to make a really good one, you have to start with a car that already came with that engine type, like a crappy, 120 - 150 hp one, but a V8 nonetheless. That rumble is a dead giveaway for a car that only came with a 4-banger...
This is a car that I totally would build if I had the knowledge. Sleepers are the best cars.
Just have a local shop put a plain old 350 into a cheap Volvo wagon. It'll smoke tires all day long. Get a Volvo that doesn't run for a few hundred bucks, and a junkyard 350 for a few hundred bucks and pay a little bit to get it put together. Don't let your lack of knowledge prevent you from having the car you want, for cheap.
You could probably end up with a running sleeper for a few thousand bucks, if research a bit and plan it out.
Dude Pontiac G8
Chris fix it can teach you when you're you're absolute beginner
@@sethlt9681 Heck yeah, shave the Pontiac badges of put Holden badges on. Lay waste with shock and awe.
How wholesome is the excitement on this guys face at 8:58?? It’s like he turned into a kid again, that innocent joy. If you could bottle that feeling.
I am hoping so hard that this video blows up like the first ralliata vid did
He was the first to do that style of video, i think thats why it blew up. Now everyone does it
It didn't
what ralliata video?
Sort of got it recommended
I had to read it twice. First I thought that you wish the car to blow up, but you meant the video 😆
These videos always amaze me. I can’t even put a piece of furniture together without forgetting something or missing a step, not to mention, completely losing my shit half way through out of sheer frustration. Pretty crazy that you possess this much skill and patience.

I donated a couple likes for them
Man you aren't just a mechanic and fabricator, you're an artist. Seeing you make that function and look really good so fast is incredible
Probably the only TH-camr I want to support more than I am able to!
That car gets the most smiles-per-gallon I've ever seen. Beautiful fab work. Love that it looks bone stock - the true essence of a sleeper!
Man to a pianist like me this looks just like some kind of magic. You must be a smart guy- this car rules and I hope you really enjoy it dude.
I see that you're a man of taste, using the Milwaukee Torch sawsall blades.
Of all the car channels I follow and consistently watch on YT, you're my favorite Gingium! Always so hyped on your work and watching you progress
The smile on the passenger's face says it all. I love the rust on the tailgate. Amazing.
7.18 - so much happiness and inspiration on your face, so good to see
As a Swede I find this build so cool. Have been raised in the age when these cars were new on the streets and the coolest was the turbo edition. Like yours but still not as fast.
Impressive build with some nice details. Love the rust in the boot, made it totally authentic 😎👍
That non-Volvo engine is a no go. Soulless car.
@@dw4956 Yeah, I'd have been impressed if he'd actually put in some work and gotten the original engine to pump out that, I'd even have preferred him "cheating" and doing a 16V turbo, or swapping in a T5, atleast it'd still be volvo.
Been watching this build from the start! Here to show support and drop the video a like!
Thank you!
I'm rewatching this while he's almost at the end of the mid-engine eclipse build and so crazy to see have far he's come. I kept calling out new tools that he'd use for this stuff now. 'Bandsaw!' 'Plasma cutter!'
Good shit, here's to a better, successful, and productive week.
I appreciate how the video is exactly 10 minutes long. Thank you!
Sick car man! We need a rematch!
Yes yes yes and yes
@@JGreyJens I hope he's down for it!
I made and fitted several headliners but now having watched this I’ll be looking at adding some serious tension to the rear cabin area. Epic mate, we’ll done. I spent a blissful six months grafting a Subaru engine into my vanagon. Couldn’t resist putting a full Sti exhaust system onto it. Small children would cry and dogs shake when I drove it down the high street
There are so many videos of ‘Street Sleepers’ on TH-cam-but I love the fact that you show all the work that goes into the fabrication-lovely job, and a perfect subject car to choose-solid as a rock.
The explanation captions, detailing what you are actually doing with each grind, cut, weld, dry fit is very helpful, otherwise we'd be lost, thinking "WTF is he doing? This makes no sense if he's trying to show off. It's just a mess of things happening.".
I had the idea of these old wagons being some of the best sleepers to build years back I'm glad to see someone with more hands on skill than me actually build one
I love the super wagons like this!
I don't think this video has enough likes.. This video should be over a million! Good work.
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Harvey Dent..
WTF?
How is that related?!
Nice 🤟🤟
Idk what it has to do wut the video but it sure is a funny meme
The smile says it all man. I hope you are still enjoying your ride. God bless
Caleb has come such a long way.
I remember him swapping engine in forza, now he's doing it in real life...
This man is truly inspiring !!
Dude watching you work is art at it's finest. This is glorious
Hey caleb if you ever end up making one of these again, something you should add is some fails along the way. They may not be as glamorous, however they did happen and are worth showing. This build was an amazing one. But there was so many frustrating moments for you.
Very true! I could honestly make a video just about those! The goal is to make this video as short as possible, so adding the fails would make it too long.
@@_Gingium_ Just make it. The fails show why the result is even better than the original Volvo.
It’s amazing how fast you work man. Doing all this in 10 minutes is an insane achievement.
As someone who can't even work on a bicycle without rounding off an allen bolt I am in awe of anything with this level of mech skills
I have never wanted a car more then after watching this video!! Nice work fellas.
I love the fabrication skills in this. Like watching art work in motion.
This is a great sleeper. Love that you can't tell at all that it is a sleeper from the outside
I have got to say... you need to relax and take time to be yourself. The level of editing on these videos has got to be taxing.
Right? When I think about the mental effort required on a project like this and then add on the requirements of filming each step as you go and having to manage all the files/shots, it really is mind-blowing. I would probably blow a gasket.
I’m pretty sure Pasha edits them.
I'm sure he's fine dude. At least he's doing something he enjoys and isn't a slave at some shitty job. And like someone said he doesn't do all his own editing
The best thing was at the end - the guys' smiling faces as a proof of joy and great pleasure :D
I see you driving around town all the time. It would be awesome if you could host a little get together to check it out!!!
Absofrigginlootly brilliant .....loved it...when he said...."he just got smoked" The best 10 minutes of my new year so far!
As a diesel mechanic, I know this is no easy task . Good job dude. Next sleeper should be a turbo diesel rocket.
The fact this is a single video of such an epic thing. Very nice
I am so happy that there is someone who is within 50 miles of me & this talented of a fabricator + has the balls to film themselves & make interesting content around it all. You're a rare breed my dude!
also, pls bring this out to the Joliet drag strip on a night that it isn't just bikes out there. Most of the time there are stock hellcats & stuff that would be awesome to see you destroy in a 30 roll.
BTW, not talking about RT66 raceway... but the prep on these streets is dead ass sometimes better than the test & tune nights there lol
Some serious skills on show there. Not just the superb welding, but also the geometry knowhow. Well done.
Just going to take a second to say WOW! I am a heavy equipment mechanic, working mostly on overhead cranes and wheel loaders. As a hobby I like to build my own cars. I like to think that I'm quite good at it. I'm nowhere near this guy's level. Insane.
My mom had a 1985 Volvo 240 DL sedan for eeeeevvvvaaarrrrrrrr. If it literally hadnt rusted and rotted I would have loved to have turned it into a sleeper beast like this!
Badass build dude, your fab skills are incredible!
I just finished watching your video young man. I have to say that's the most satisfying 10 minutes of my day. Watching your face light up when you fired that engine made my day. Watching you and your buddies going for a rip in that thing was hilarious! You are incredibly talented. You probably already knew that. Get a helmet and be careful but never stop doing what you're doing
Bro you looked so happy and proud, absolutely worth it.
My first thoughts: How did he make 700hp in a volvo???
“Turbo LS swap”
Oh..
Nice swap but i thought it must be an 5banger
Or you can push T5 to the limits.
Believe it or not the B230FT(a variant of the iron block 4cyl much like the one they pulled from this car) can be built to 700hp.
The original engines can be turboed to the same hp.
@@KolyanKolyanitch *SimplyVolvo with his 750 hp 850 **_T-5R_** **_AWD_** has joined the chat*
The squeek you made when it turned on was so wholesome xD
Wonderful! I always loved the boxy design of the old Volvos. As if a kid would paint the car! As a layman I have one question: Does the differential tolerate the torque and power? What is the bottleneck of such a build?
The stock differential? You mean on the axle he swapped out? Lol
The fabrication was awesome. Absolutely loved watching it.
That was a great montage! Thank you for the entertainment love the wagon.
Wow. Your intelligence is in my opinion off the scale to do that all on your own. Fantastic just fantastic. Thank you for the upload.
Use me as a "my car would get gapped" button
it's truly amazing how you built that car in 10 minutes. incredible !!
love it 🔥😂🙌🏽
Einfach Chris hier, Servus
Lol wie random 😂 bald Floß mit 700 ps
I'm just impressed someone spent this much time and money on making this just to entertain me on the internet.... oh and to blow away a few unsuspecting "sports" cars.
I don't know much about cars, but I'm just learning to weld and seeing the exhaust pipe come together was inspiring. Is that stainless steel?
most likely 304SS, yes
Manual freaking transmission, my dude you are a madlad legend and have all my respect
Volvo actually had a supercharged estate car in their mainstream line up that is legendary in Europe and very fast. They used to tune it further and race it.
supercharged? what model are we talking here? there’s plenty of turbocharged volvo estates but i’ve never heard of a supercharged one. please elaborate
@@theshrugggd3313 sorry I meant turbocharged, put it down to a senior moment.
@@mattwright2964 thats fine. but yes i’ve heard the turbocharged 240s are very fast and fun to drive. i’m currently in the process of rebuilding the engine for a 245 turbo and i have yet to experience driving it.
Most badass video I’ve seen on the TH-cam’s all week
Awsome!🤩 As a Skandinavian (🇳🇴) probobly made in an 245, it warms my heart to see you build this monster👏🤩👍👍
I love sleepers. I once bought an old Holden ute in OZ. It had old rusty narrow wheels, undercoat on the body and a bit of surface rust here and there, but under the bonnet was a super charged 350 Chevy, top loader gearbox and Muncie diff. It was a beast. On the way home it was so funny to look at the faces of people in great high powered cars as this thing just left them gobsmacked.
this guy is the master of time, its really difficult doing all these things in just 10 minutes. bravo!
Fake video, need to flag & report it to utube.
Some very skilled TIG welding done here. That 'station wagon' is one scalded cat!.
This is amazing.
I had an 89 240DL I was planning on turning into a rally set up. Unfortunate circumstances kept me from getting it done.
Great build, man.
nice to see someone that has the equipment and the skill to use them to their full potential! Sweet build!
Lol that is so awesome, nobody would expect that inconspicuous car to be a power house!
Love the part where you are testing the vehicle in a residential area.
7:03 best sound I ve heard in last 3 years.
9:03 most excited group I ve heard I a decade.
As someone who owns a 240 that's engine can only go so far, this is THE dream once she blows.
Now that's a Sleeper, Respect!
All that Time, Knowlegde and Money you put in there, Insane!
This will forever be my favorite car build. Ever.
wow! amazing! You create the monster in 10 min! Most people cannot change the wheel in less than 10 min!
That Volvo is cool
You sir are an absolute Master Fabricator! Genius level infinite! To be so young and talented is sooo RAD!
That rig is literally hilarious cookin down the road
I was smiling all the way through. Thank you
Had a 92 240 DL with over 373k on original motor and transmission. Ran the piss out of it. Used the kick down switch constantly. Not sure how is survived me but it did. Still going strong to this day 15 years later.
Amazing. No-nonsense video - subscribed.
And at the same time you can load a sofa or a refrigerator on the back... Brilliant stuff!
That's the perfect ask for a like, at the end of the video if you liked it. I liked it, and double liked it for not begging for a like 5 seconds in. Awesome job on the car, damn.
Big turbo 240 wagon is my top dream car
Damn Caleb I love watchin your car builds man, you da man when it comes to builds like these
All I have to say is beautiful work man !
Absolutely brilliant man.
Superb work.
You Sir are like a Leonardo DaVinci for welding! Truly deserved dream car :D
You can't disagree with the smiles it brings! 😂
Dear all of TH-cam, this is the amount of content that fills a 10 minute video nicely
That look on your face when it fired. I'm happy for you.
Nice work on all of this. And you did it (at least mostly) alone. Good video montage ratio as well.
This is absolutely crazy.... ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !!!!!
10 MINUTES??o the movie!!😆😆😆😆
