Hah, my 245 looked a little like that when I first got it... definitely in need of TLC. Amazing how Volvos hold up though -- even on a car that is pretty beat, a little cleaning up and replacing some parts makes them look pretty good again. I should post some picture updates of mine... hell of a lot better than it was a couple months ago.

Your final product sure does look and sound nice. What did you go with for a radiator? Looks quite different, out of a non-Volvo car of some kind? I like the use of the slim electric fan -- the noise the clutchless mechanical fan makes on a D24 is really a racket and gets in the way of the straight six music. Would be much better without the fan, or with a clutch fan like the D24T. I guess they were pinching pennies with the D24, or maybe there was no room for a clutch... space is pretty tight in there. Assume you left the pulley on there in order for the belt to the PS pump to still have a place to go?

Nice work. Let me know about valve adjustment... any weekend this month is cool for me.

In the build pictures the radiator is from a 700 series gasser. Here is a current picture of my setup. The radiator is from a 92+ 740 or 940 not sure which one. I'm using a 17 inch E-fan I bought from Jegs.

I ended up trading my 1985 244 for the 760 turbodiesel. I just got it towed to my house yesrterday and pulled the motor today. The battery in the car was split in two from the wreck, amd there is battery acid all over the motor. I grab one of my batteries and started it right up. The radaitor was damage from the wreck so there was no coolant, I ran the car for a minute to see how well it runs and shut it off. Right now I'm thinking of putting the D24T in the 264. The D24 N/A that is already in the car will be taken apart to see what is the real problem I'm having.

here is the videohttp://s194.photobucket.com/albums/z...VOSCOTT045.flv

Yea, it was on CL. The only reason the car was on CL is that the guy that had it forgot my number. I've already made a deal with hin a week earlier. He had the car for $850. I traded a running 85 244 with a B230 for the turbodiesel.

Sounds like a good deal, how many miles are on it? You will love the turbo diesel, I cant immagine driving even the smaller 2xx car with the non turbo.

I was told this car was worked on by Chris Bogue and rebuilt a year ago. The guy I bought the car from said 60K miles on the motor. No paper work to prove the maintenance. The shop where Chris used to worked at was called Volvos Only a very well known shop here in Portland for having a bad reputation but not the only one. Now Chris is working at another shop in SW Portland called MVP Volvo. I talked to him before about my own D24, I'm thinking to go see him tonorrow to get more imformation about the motor.
I've been very busy cleaning the turbodiesel, It's not as bad as the D24 that is in my 264 now. I like to clean motor in my car so I got my parts cleaner again and started to clean.

What, you should at least drive one if you have a chance. My D24 is not that slow, and I've never driven a turbodiesel yet. It's fun car to drive and I'm seeing 34 MPG and my other Volvo with a B21F with a 3 speed Auto is slower and only gets 23.

I bought gaskets and IP and timing belts to replace and water pump. While I'm at it I'm thinking of doing the rear main and front. I don't have much money as I did on the D24 build but I don't think I will need to put a lot.
