Welditup Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 The skid marks are from trying to stop, my break lines went during the fire and had no way to stop other than my ebrake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm working on both s40s this weekend and I'll have a better idea then when I see the struts in person. You can have the strut mounts for free if they come off without getting damaged, just pay for shipping. You need any interior pieces? My 2001 s40 has nearly mint condition dark grey leather interior. Any update on the strut mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welditup Posted May 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 LMAO, shes only 3 so its nothing but more time consuming to work on my car. She actually enjoyed the fire to my suprise,lol. Very thankful this didnt happen on the highway or a long ways from home. I was literally only an 1/8th mile from my driveway when the fire started.

Phixion Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Things almost always happen within 5 miles of home... My poor 40 was totaled literally 2 blocks away around the corner from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theForgottenone Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 So did you able to salvage any parts out of the old car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welditup Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I was able to salvage my floor mats,MBC, aftermarket stereo deck, turbo badge(aftermarket), and a car seat,lol. I really wanted to save the turbo but the intake boot and plastics melted around the turbo. I still have a spare 12t and a 13g(2000 xc70) turbo. The car is located in billerica,mass if anyone is interested in the tranny. Tranny held strong at 200whp before she died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
