My eldest daughter pulled the same stunt about a year ago, fortunately her daddy owns a Volvo repair shop. If you haven't figured it out yet your daughter did you a huge favor by not damaging the 1/4 panels. The upper core support is a bolt in affair as is the hood which I am sure probably looks like a taco. The panels that the head lamps bolt to are screwed in as well as tack welded in place down in the corners. If your situation is similar to mine you may be able to just bend/lever them back into place and then the new upper core support will unitize the whole thing. My daughter did not damage the radiator (how, I do not know) but she needed one anyhow and we managed to find all of the parts at the local pull it yourself boneyard for less than $200.00. Hood, upper core support, both headlamp assys, both turn signal assys, radiator, the center brace that the horns bolt to, both head lamp doors, and other assorted bits and pieces. Started out at 8:00 am and including running to two different boneyards, had her back on the road by 2:00. Remember though, I have an entire Volvo repair shop at my disposal. Aside from not destroying the bumpers I would have to say our single biggest stroke of luck was finding another 240 that was pretty much the same faded shade of blue as hers. Good luck Dad, aren't kids a blast?
