slightly volvoless :(
Got pranged by someone comming the wrong way onto a roundabout. He was distracted by his daughter.
We are hopefully going to sort it out without involving insurance. He said to get a quote tuedsay then we'll take it to his mates garage to see what he makes of it. I got a feeling that he wont be able to get it fixed due to lack of parts. So worrying a bit. I cant drive the car, headlights out, and its got a saggy front bumper, wing and bonnet are buckled and there are a few sharp bits, so im liable if some tit hurts themselves on it. The car runs and chassis looks ok. His car - a write off. Just wait and see what happens with this one i guess.

Ouch.
Hope you get it sorted satisfactorily. Main thing is - the car did it's job and you are still in one piece. |

Everyone is ok hehe, the car did its job and protected us.
I got an estimate this morning. The chassis is bent, needs a new bumper, headlight, hockey stick and bonnet at the very least. The wing they can fix, they have to colour match the other wing with the bonnet and bumper. Engine wise, theyve shocked the manifold and it runs lumpy and the rad holds pressure but is bent. They just quoted labour alone at a minimum of 1k without paint or parts in that price. Going to contact the bloke and see what he says. Hell definitely want me to take it to his mates for that or pay off the value of the car? Its definitely an insurance write off if we go through insurance. Pics will follow soon Its drivable, but advised not to for safety.
