Just bashed my Amazon Estate
 

Front passanger wing is totalled. Where is the best place to get all parts associated with this? e.g.:

Passenger front wing
Halogen head lights
Indicator
chrome strip etc
Thanks
James

www.amazoncars.co.uk or www.classicvolvoparts.co.uk if you want new bits but the wings cost a fortune so asking here is probably a wise move. Hopefully someone will have the required bits and bobs second hand which will get you back in shape again. Best of luck

I second Brookhouse for parts - Simon really knows his stuff and seems to have virtually everything in stock.

Indicator unit is available new, not especially cheap but not too silly. I have some spare lenses, trims etc kicking around, but only shot bulb holder / reflector units (worth buying new as they are always bad & just £20 for the new one)

Chrome strip - might have one somewhere (probably in my father's barn in Devon though), but iirc only £30 or so new.

Lights - generic Wipac etc 7" halogens all fit fine - between £30 to £45 a pair. Ebay, mini specialist, or somewhere like http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/

How totalled is the wing? Wondering if it would be any good for donor sections to repair a rusty wing, which would save a lot of money assuming you can do the work yourself.

Insurance job?

Yep its an insurance job. But the company I am with are idiots when it comes to classics and have already said their repairers are not up to the job. So I am finding garages/doing it myself. Wing is proper totalled. Top rail might be ok but otherwise its a skip job. I have alot of the parts second hand myself but need prices for the insurance company. Going to quote for new and if they agree will use second hand parts. Then use the excess cash to get the whole front of the car sprayed :O). Anyone got a good front panel going spare? You mention Wipac lights. How do they compared to Cibie H4 /180 ones?

Info so far. Brookhouse looks cheaper on nearly everything when compared to Amazon Cars.

I thought the wing prices would be bad but yikes thats fairly horrific ! Wipac lights are good but the cibie's are way better. Light pattern is much more defined and range was good, although obviously it depends on the bulb, the silver star (osram ) ones are good and price is better than when they were first introduced.

I saw a wing on E-bay yesterday

From your list of parts, especially the need for top and bottom wishbones, I'm a bit worried about the chassis leg on that side as well as the cross member. Has anyone done any measuring yet to see if there has been any shortening on that side? Not too easy to do unless you can at least get it up on a lift. Don't want to be negative but quite a few Amazons have died due to being thumped on a front corner. Your insurance company should agree to having measurements taken. Unfortunately, I think you need this info before you start to find parts. Fingers crossed.

The suspension prices were added as an extra as I do not know what is damaged on the suspension yet. Not to worry though as I have a spare amazon estate for mechanical parts (the body work on that one is pretty shot on it though). Derek when you say cars were written off from this do you mean do to chassis bending?
