Hello All!
First Post, so here goes.
I have been a volvo enthusiast for a while now. My daily is a V70R and I have been tinkering with a neglected 244. For the past few months, I noticed a 242 in the apartment complex near by. I finally decided to leave a note on it with my number. Less than a week later it's mine.
It was purchased new from a regional dealership chain and has been dealer maintained for the longest time. Around 2008, the couple that bought traded it in. The dealership kept it inside as a floor demo! Sometimes, you can still see where it says "demo only not 4 sale" from the residue on the side windows.
Anyways, years later, a tech buys it with intentions to flip it and I beat him to the punch. So far, he replaced the fuel tank, in tank pump and the inline pump under the car. It cranks and he did have it running through some sort of procedure involving starting fluid and jumping power directly to the inline fuel pump. He has also thrown the normal tune up parts like wires, plugs, cap, rotor, fuel pressure reg and maybe some other stuff. Currently the car will crank and will pop off of starter fluid but it smells super rich. Here are some pics and please feel free to throw anything out to get it running as it should.
Stage 0: I just want to get it running right, get the lights working
Stage .5: Tires. I'm not a big fan of big sidewalls. I'm thinking: AZENIS RT615K+ SIZE: 195/60R14
Stage 1: poly bushings, springs, Bilstein HDs, sway bars
Stage 2: cam?
