Well it finally happened....

Some guy just hit the passenger side of my 240 GL right in between the front and back doors. Haven't examined it to closely, but the damage doesn't appear to be structural. I think I can get by with just replacing exterior skin panels. Man, Volvo sure make a great car!

We weren't going to fast. The guy that hit me was driving a small Chevy Pick-up truck. Knocked the front bumper clean off of his vehicle!

Nobody hurt too - which is most important.


Anybody know where I can get exterior panels besides the Junkyard?

'89 240 GL 300,000+ miles -- When will this thing ever die? !!

My girlfriend was just hit last week in her 1983 245. You may already know this, but if you think you can fix the car yourself, you are better trying to get money directly from the driver that hit you...after all he doesn't want his insurance to go up. My girlfriend called her insurance company almost instantly. When insurance gets involved and sees a 1983 with 270,000 miles on it they are quick to total the car, give you a salvage title, and offer you a couple hundred bucks for the replacement cost of your "very old high mileage car." Be careful!
