Hey all,

I've got a bit of a good news / bad news thing going.... The good news is that I no longer have to worry about fixing the handful of 1/4" rusted through holes in the back left corner of the 122. The bad news is that I no longer have to worry about it because I was rear-ended on the way home from work yesterday.

Anyone have a recomendation for a body shop somewhere near Philadelphia, PA that they'd trust with an old Volvo?

The damage isn't _too_ bad, but certianly isn't good. The bumper is twisted, the left rear fender kinked, the bottom of the rear clip smashed and the trunk lid isn't anywhere close to fitting right since the fender is kinked upwards and in where the panel curves down. Good thing I spent so much time replacing the trunk seal a few weeks ago... Actually, I am kinda happy that now the rusted section will be replaced properly by someone who knows what they're doing rather than me trying to fake it. And of all the places it could have gotten hit, that's the only one that isn't in good shape so that's a good thing. Although I guess that's balanced out by having to admit to my wife being correct about the need to get around to installing the headrests....;-) Got around to that 3 weeks ago, thankfully.

But anyway, I just thought I'd ask while waiting for the claims adjuster to give me the bad news.

Thx.
