Default Bought a 300bhp volvo s60 and absolutely wrecked it

Hi all,

I bought a 2001 volvo s60 with a bunch of modifications.

The list of mods are as follows:

Xc90 front and rear brakes (bigger than standard)
3 inch full stainless exhause (flux fabrication)
New coil packs
550 injectors
hybrid 19t turbo with upgraded wastegate
new plugs and Maf
upgraded intercooler
silicone hoses
K & N filter
Koni fsd suspension
power flex bushes
engine brace fit

car has been custom mapped by shemtek automotive solutions

Got it for my dad as a gift but I took it out for a day in the rain and it got absolutely mangled, hitting two walls across three lanes almost like a bloody pinball. Gutted but thankfully no serious injuries (I'll never buy any other car brand again lol I'm sure if it wasn't a Volvo I would've been in a completely different condition) and lessons learned I suppose. Bought him a s80 as a replacement but funds are really low so looking to get a bit of it back asap.

I put it on ebay for 99p auction and it seems to be getting a bit of attention but I thought maybe some of you enthusiasts would be interested in some of these parts so I'm posting about it here too. Need it gone asap because I plan to buy a van to convert into a camper and need space to do. Otherwise I'd break it for parts myself.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post ebay listings here so I won't but lots of pictures for you guys to see. Not too familiar with the rules on this site.

Any questions let me know.

Cheers

This might be a long shot but is the flappy flap that cover the cupholders The same as mine and not broken?

if you end up breaking it yourself i'd be interested in the door cards and wing mirrors because mine are a bit scuffed up

I might be tempted by the seats as well depending what you want for them..

Oh I misread your post. You're selling the whole thing on eBay and haven't got the time to break it - that's correct right?

In that case ignore me. :-)

Not breaking im afraid, itll go straight to the scrapyard before i break it because i simply dont have the time. The flappy flap does indeed work but its probably not worth buying the entire car for that 😂 Thank you all for your replies though.

Cheers
