Oh come on man, don't give up. looks to me like you can do a little body work. Goto the junk yard find a passenger door. and do some rocker panel repair. I work a Volvo shop that fixes many wrecked Volvo's and we've fixed some that were just done, finished looking. but I was amazed when we were done. drove fine and look all right after wards.

Man, sorry to see that!

B230f??? You wont be happy after the torque and sound of a D24T.

What I think you mean is your going to find a nice gas volvo with a useless B230f and auto trans, and swap in your D24T!

If my volvo got smashed tomorrow I would just be on the hunt for another if I couldn't fix it. I would have a garage of spare parts off my current car and just get another going. Now that I finnaly got one, I enjoy it too much to just give up on it. Besides, I haven't reached its full potential yet!

Well slobodan,
it looks like bodyframe has changed angle when you look it
door opened. And floor under frontpassengers seat is raised.. :/
Yea, i know b230f is little squishy, but you can tune it aswell.
Have alot ideas already. Okay, actually right now,
going to look is it worth to buy. Cya later.
