Nice one, would recomend to rebuild front struts tho, bump stops have deteriorated and sepparated from washer, so either they were never out of the car or they were rebuilt a long time ago. Also look out for front radiator cover on junkyards :D
Just watched this video and glad you got the old girl and making her look her best 👍 if it was me I would get somone to pull that front over on a jig… if u drill them spot welds your be drilling for hours as they multi layer inner wings on them that’s why there very strong if u need any help let me know I travel the uk looking after all 850’s for my customers 👍
I'll definitely look into getting it sent out. I could probably sort it but I've plenty of other projects to be getting on with! I'll probably be in touch.
@@PeakClassicCars or u could get that trolly jack handle and inside rail and a ratchet strap and pull it over maybe lol be worth a shot lol… same as me few to meny projects lol
Great cars. I replaced the same wing on mine - an 850 I've owned now for the last 30 years.
So far I'm really impressed with it. Needs a few repairs to the inner wing but we're well on the way.
Take radiator out and use a hydro porta-power and push off opposite side to straighten it
I’d try that first
She’s deffo worth saving 😊
I'm on it. Plenty of progress on this one coming soon.

I'll replace the front bumpstops then, thanks for that. What radiator cover is missing?
its the same volvo that James May drove in the africa special, best of luck saving it
I hadn't realised that but it is isn't it!!! I'll have to re watch it.

I've got a brand new genuine Volvo 850 O/S/F wing mint and boxed in my Volvo parts stash if you are interested?
Yes please, can you send me a msg? My email is on here, or a msg on Insta etc.
@@PeakClassicCars Ok mate, Just got in from work so am shattered, Will message you tommorow with details etc 👌
@@scotty6346 perfect cheers!
i have a volvo 850 est that would be ideal for you for all the parts you need in colour if your intrested
Definitely very interested. Can you drop me an email (address in my channel details) Thank you!
There is one near me that I can't rescue. Unfortunately the entire back is ripped off by a tractor lol
Ouch! It's probably a good spares car though.
I think it might need a new headlight wiper blade for the drivers side, might get away with it though. 😅
Few more miles left in that one yet...unless you want me to fit one for you. 😉
Will it fit on the 75? 😏
Do it yourself
I'm going to try!
