Fixing My New S90 And Structural Body Parts

[Nickolus]

I recently purchased my moms old S90 back from the insurance company after my sister was hit twice (in each front fender). I really liked driving this car and was planning on buying before my sisters got her hands on it. I am looking for new front fender aprons. I have friends who are autobody instructors at the local community college where I also work, who said they will fix it back to pre wreck condition, but say I need new fender aprons . they only deal with american cars in their parts dept or can order parts. does any one know of any aftermarket stores to buy some aprons. I hate to chop into a car at the junk yard thats allot of labor and just destroying a possible biuld for someone else. I find honda aprons on google & ebay for $45 all day long but no volvo aprons. If its even in Sweden I have a way to buy the parts and have them shipped > .

Any help would be much ablidged. Also and any tips on pimping my S90 out with lowering(I was thinking coil overs ) or other ground effects, spoilers, trim turbo, intercoolers that would work well ( I have a friend with a turbo and intercooler from a 850 I was thinking about buying. Sense the new S80 are turbo but a dual turbo.

Thanks again if any one can help his is what I have to fix

The left side can be easily straigtened, you wouldn't be able to tell it was damaged. The right, you might need to replace a section, not hard to do, a decent spot weld cutter bit and an hack saw and you'd have it off the junk car in 20-30 min; doesn't have to be from a S90-960, the 940 and 700 should be the same. I couldn't help you with finding new parts, I'd try asking at an local body shop where they specialize in Volvos. I can't imagine the work required to replace both entire aprons being worth it on any S90. I serously hope you plan to change those wheels.

As for performance/suspension options, I'd search this forum:
