Thats a real shame what happend to your car.:(
I must be horrible after all your work.
If you need some spare parts just mial me.
I live in the Northeren part off Holland in Assen.
I have a little spare part network with some friends.
So when you have a car and start rebuilding agian and you can´t find some parts.
I also live nearby a Volvo scrapyard.
Maybe i can get em for ya.

Sorry to hear your car is beyond saving. At least you can salvage a few external parts and stuff.

Yeah that goes for me too. To have the car for that long and to put in all that time and energy and money, I hope that you can at least get a quick insurance payout to help with the next one. From your pictures it does look like you can salvage a lot of the exterior parts so your old car will live on in the new one. sm51 Best of luck with it mate and keep in touch

Thats really sad that people can do that to someones car. I mean stealing a car to sell is one thing, but just destroying it is so useless. These people really need to be sorted out.

I'm glad you have a new car to work on, and I hope it has better luck. Perhaps you should set up a sprinkler system :)

It makes me really want to fix an alarm and kill switch up to my car to stop it getting stolen :(
