After a few days of cutting compound (less than an actual working day of effort - just spread out 'cos I'm Part Time Pete) the car almost looks like a different vehicle =>
I'm happy with that!
I'm now going to get another vehicle out of the back of the workshop so I can hide the Volvo out of harm's way and set out trestles to hold the panels I'm about to remove.
(It is about to look a whole lot worse than it does now - so prepare yourselves!)
