Hi, recently found this forum by a coincidence at youtube. found som really good tips and ideas here so i thought why not share my projekt
So the car is a volvo 945 from 91. original d24 turbo intercooler with m46 gearbox.
Bought it for 4000 swedish kronor about 40 swedish miles from me. A friend drow me down there in his 93- 945 d24.
What he told me about the car was that you had to tow it to gett it started and dident run well, that it was in pretty bad shape buy that it ran and he thought it would survive the 40 mil home.
Well there the car was like he told me. complete butt pretty ugly. we started it and i gave him the money and we were of. we stopped and refueld and checked the oil which was okey.
We started driving and came about 15 mil when the car started to die in and in an upphill it started to die to die completely when it started to go downwards. the engine was stuck and boil extremely.
The engine was totaly dry of oil... and water because of the boil.
We towed if to a unmanned gas station were we filled it with water that we gathered from the ground since we had none and it hade rained earlier.
Thats when we saw it was no oil and we hade to find and manned gasstation so we continued to tow and found another station that sold oil. we filled her up and towed her to a start. ran on like two cylinders but whe tried do drive it again.
We drove one exit on the highway and took of the check the oil. it hade drained like 1liter on that short way so it was no other then to tow the 25mil way home.
The trip took a total of 11,5 hours wich should have taken maby 7 hours
When it was home the day after.

Not much to do but take out the engine.

The car without an engine.

Damage in the cylinderheads injector holes from the heat and pistons.

Two new engines, the one to the right in the picture is from a vw truck and the left one is from a 740 non turbo. the vw never wanted to start and had no hole for vaccum pump so the 740 engine is going in the car.

The 740 engine painted and with the turbo stuff that came with the car.
