Caleem,

thx for reply.

How did you solve the electronics, do you still have the 480 dash and clockworks including our special board 480 computer output ? Is this working with T4 sensors.
So many questions, i am really curious about the details.
I think your engine swap is really cool and very special. I love the T4 engine and it never crossed my mind that it would fit into 480. I sold my 1998 V40 T4 a couple of years ago, should have left it in the shed.I have 2 480's now, both 1995, one 2.0ES and one GT turbo and no regrets. (for work i drive lease cars) The turbo is to be a special project car and available for T4 engine.
I will send you a PM with my email, if you have time pls. dump all pictures to my email. If you have any additional info pls. email too. I seriously like to consider this.

Best regards, Renter
Volvo 480 2.0 ES, 1995, Paris Blue

Congratulations!
I hope you can give us some more details! I'm really curious how could you manage the electronic connections!
I'm not that good in mechanics, but i'm thinking on doing something like that asking help to who knows.

Grave digger attacks :lol:

I see this car in the same position from June in workshop near my place of living. I'm curious what is the reason.

In the meantime this car was used in TV commerial spot:

Found this:

Looks like it's for sale.
There are always ample warnings and there are always subtle signs,
And you would have seen them coming but we gave you too much time.
