  • I recently moved into a huge Dutch barn and plan to use it for multiple classic car projects. In this video I also talk about the latest project Volvo and plans for future videos.

    I had guessed that Ms Involvo'd and you had split, so sorry about that Sledge. Can't wait to see how Vera turns out. As for your new purchase my guess is that it's a camper van! Take care.

    Leaky roof? Shouldn't the landlord fix that? If not, paint the roof really thickly to plug all the holes. :)
    Sorry to hear things didn't work out between you. It probably sucks now, but in the end it will be good.

    Involvo'd is the reason I bought a '93 940 10 months ago. I love working on it, and I love this channel!

    I’m very sorry to hear about you and Miss Involvo’d. Obviously not all relationships work out but you two seemed to have great chemistry. I really hope you get to see your child as much as you want because I think you’d be a great dad. Wishing the three of you all the best for the future.
    Great to have you back on YT anyway, keep the great content coming 😊

    I hope you're doing okay man, sounds a bit rough. Hope the kiddo is going to be good too.
    Looking forward to some more wrenching, fettling and that secret reveal you're talking about!

    Sorry to hear about it not working out. Hope you are all doing well. The barn is a lot drier than outside plus less wind. Maybe the odd tarp over some vehicles as they wont blow about and damage the paint.

    I’ve been through the same thing with my ex, tinkering with old Volvo’s is the best treatment you can give yourself and keep your mind off things.
    Curious to see what you are going to do with this beautiful car and the one you have in store for us!
    Keep on the good work 🫶🏻

    Great stuff, Sledge! I assume you're going to fix the pit and pump it dry?
    And maybe a couple of simple things to fix the worst leaks on the roof?

    Pity about the leaky roof, but it looks like the barn is coming along nicely. Really good for the channel and you potentially avoiding pneumonia! Really sorry to hear about you and your other half. Looking forward to the new / future content. Cheers 👍

  • @fhwolthuis

    I'm sorry things between you and Miss Involvo'd didn't work out, Sledge. I divorced 5 years ago and know the situation. I hope you are still on good terms with each other and your daughter will be well. Good luck, mate 🍀

  • @powergreenr

    Love the barn even though its leaky right now. And as so many already has said i'm sorry to hear about miss involvod. All the best from Sweden.

  • @jameskyle380
    @jameskyle380 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

    I kinda guessed when you were back in the UK and no Miss Involvoed. Sometimes it's better to both be apart, saves the arguments etc. Hope you're still seeing your daughter. The landlord could plug the holes with CT1 or something and paint it up. Looking forward to Vera and the mystery car!

  • @kjh789az
    @kjh789az วันที่ผ่านมา

    It never rains but it pours! Hope this new start goes well. Tarp the roof externally and tightly secure it against gales. That pit is lethal but could be useful. Does your steel plate comment mean you won't be using it?
    Great YT channels have these: presenter with a likeable personality; interesting content in a specific field; reliably regular postings; avoidance of clickbait and sensationalism especially when YT Central tries to interfere! I think we can tick all of these. We are all involved! Thanks.

    Happy to hear that you still using owatrol for your bumpers. I did tell you then, that it is THE best. The problem with the roof is probably how you gona get up there.

    Jah man Sledge! Office space looking real representative for some wheelin' n dealin'! Sorry about the ol lady. 605 is such a great color, that will polish up real good.

  • @cheharrison7107
    @cheharrison7107 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

    Hmm a car we wouldn't expect you to buy?🤔 A less popular old Volvo, I think I saw some faded blue bodywork.....a 340/360 perhaps? Not a 480...and not a rusty old Merc again 😂....look forward to the reveal buddy.
    Sorry it didn't work out with Mrs InVolvo'd, hope you're holding up ok. All best mate 🤘

    Sorry about the misses mate. I'm sure it's not gonna change what an amazing father you'll be.
    Cant wait to see how the Volvo will turn out. Wonder if ammonyc would sponsor you. Try ceramic coating for the trim, it apparently restores better than anything else.

  • @thomasrehm1351
    @thomasrehm1351 วันที่ผ่านมา

    cool, 605 is the "Chameleon Blue": She will change her blue depending on the light outside. Light blue in bright summer light and dark blue on a grey day for example.

  • @Craycola
    @Craycola 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

    Not sure what is available in the uk but in the states I've used siliconized roof coatings on metal roofs to help seal/weather proof them. Likely to much of a hassle to do if you're doing it yourself but maybe the landlord can be convinced.

    Sorry to hear about the split. At the same time happy to see you posting again, can’t wait for the 740 polishing video and the “big reveal”!

    good video, tough one about you and the lady, its all good in the end, the leaky roof is workable, i don't know if you or the landlord will fix it, i do know that from the roof being corrugated steel it is galvanized and when it leaks from rain onto your cars it eats through the clear coat and paint, i know from experience, it happened to my 89 240 DL which is the exact same colour inside/out as yours is and it has caused a leak/rust right at the top of my from wind screen and it now leaks in the rain not badly , not good all the same, it'll have to get sealed before winter here and am currently bypassing the overdrive solenoid with the IPD block off plate, my solenoid works, the complete wiring for it is as green as grass, so it is cheaper to do this until spring time the block off plate works very good normal operation for me, i got this verified by an old Volvo Tech who just retired after 52 years in the trade and he said he has installed probably at least 100 or more and customers are all happy, i will have to email you to get any sources for Volvo 240 parts they are getting a little tougher to find over here in Canada,keep making them 👍

    That roof is a disaster. Forget it. At least you have got a nice pool in the pit😅

  • @JustFixIt99
    @JustFixIt99 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Not sure if it’s a thing in the UK or not, but over here they sell a roll/paint on rubberized roofing membrane. Not a permanent fix but would definitely solve the drops for a few years. And you know what they say, it’s only a temporary solution unless it works.

  • @phillippereira6468

    If there land Lord doesn't repair it, cancel the rental agreement.
    Not fit for purpose, misleading and failure to maintain.

  • @williamwales6619
    @williamwales6619 วันที่ผ่านมา

    First lookin at the roof it will take a bit of work to make that water resistant. Short term solution ? Gazeebo. Later 👍

    I think I saw a flash of blue when you panned to the rear of Vera. Something totally unexpected? How about a good American F-150? 😂. Cheers from the other side of the pond.

    The seats should be blue rather than grey, bit odd. Atlantic Blue 605 was the colour of my old 740
