totaled my 940 Wagon

Due to "running out of talent" as we say in racing, I crunched my 1993 940 NA wagon well enough to make it not worth repairing. Impacted a guard rail head on at only about 20 mph but between the posts and the rail went above the bumper so...

All front lights, both fenders, hood, core support, condensor, etc.

It is white with tan interior and about everything aft of the windshield header is fine as well as all the mechanicals except maybe the radiator will be up for grabs. 182K and has always been a utility vehicle so dog hair, slobber, occasional grease stain, etc. both front seat covers are toast but I have a spare set of black twead.

Amazingly, after clearing debris, drove just as straight as before 20 miles home.

Obviously will post it all in the classifieds but I know I only went there intermittently. Most parts will be cost of shipping and packaging.

    If the frame has not been altered this might be a simple swap of bolt on parts like it is on the 245.

      In theory, maybe. The volume of items destroyed makes it not worth it to me. This is not some ultra-nice cream-puff...it hauls my dogs and use to engines, transmissions, large volumes of tile and lumber. It was not beat but not "clean" either.

      Besides, got a line on nice 1993 240 wagon and the 1998 V70 is DD ready (putting in a heater core next weekend).
