I've been trying to decide what I need to do with my 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo. I am attached to it but it needs some work and will probably be getting rid of it within a year anyway. Here's the dilemma:

My daughter took out my passenger side fender and front door, and left a small ding on the rear door with our truck. $$$ Didn't hurt the truck much. :)

There are several mechanical issues. Finally had it diagnosed for lack of paower and iding issues and the report reads:
1. rubber bellows at top of intercooler & at intake manifold are shot
2. oil in intercooler
3. mtr mount R.S. Lower
4. trans fluid black
5. front oil cooler lines
6. rear turbo - oil leaks
7. R.S. Outer C.V. boot
8. cam seals

I may be able to find the body parts in the right color even, but I am not sure about all of the mechanical parts. I can probably get them from FCP Groton. The shop wanted a pretty penny for them and the work, and I have another mechanic who will do the work for less.

If I keep it, I just need to figure out what parts I actually need. I am guessing that by bellows he means the intercooler hoses? Not sure which oil cooler lines to get, though I can see them on the car.

Thanks for any help, advise, or consolation.
