Volvo's Running Yay!! (WITH PICS)

[DurocShark]

After 12 hours of work... Crawling around various Pick Your Parts, and some quality time with a 5 pound sledgehammer, the Volvo is on the road again!

In case you missed the other thread, here are a couple of "before pics:

Here are the parts I spent hours looking for... Seems that Every Volvo 240 series had the same damage... :Q

Here's the fender after getting it into some semblance of its original shape... It's just setting in place here:

Here it is compared to the other side so you can see just how bad a job I did...

The turn signal and marker light housing mounts on the fender, of course. You can see the crumpled foil I had to work with here:

Whatever this friggin bumper is made of, I want a car made of it!!! I hit it with the sledge, jumped up and down on it, and then pulled the car up onto it and jumped up and down on THAT but it wouldn't give!!! I gave up and put it back on bent.

Tada! "On the road again..."

Yeah, but what's the deal with the insurance? Is the other driver's insurance going to pay?

Glad she's rolling, though!

Don't know yet. Since the cop wouldn't take a report, my wife is seeing if the other person wants to just walk away from it. :| At least it will keep my wife from having her license suspended.

But it being a fairly new Eclipse, I kinda doubt it.

At least the insurance is back in place now.

That looks pretty decent. Good job

Ghetto body work with a sledghammer no less. Good work. Those Volvos are tanks.

Glad to see it wasn't totalled after all. May it live to see another 500,000 miles!

Nice... those things ARE tanks.
