Are they not being used? or sat there rotting away, that would be a shame..

Here are some shots of the inside, it all seems to be there, although there is a lot of what looks like rat poo and all sorts. Many treasures to be found as well. The plan with the inside is to keep it largely the same as I do like a Volvo interior many a steering wheel change but that's about it.
I just needs a dam good clean. https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/attac...1&d=1715367169

So the accident damage that you many have seen on the Youtube video, was done apparently by sliding off the road into what I can only describe a curb maybe. I don't think any moose's where harmed. This appears to have bent the lower control arm but everything else seems to measure up ok.
This will be my first job, aside from cleaning so I can actually move the car.

The wishbone is designed to collapse and that is what looks to have happened

Yes this is exactly what has happened, as you say this is literally what it is designed for. Going to get a new one and re-bush the front and rear of the car.

Thanks I was a little shocked of its condition, it does look rough on camera but its really solid. We will have plenty of brews and many hobnobs to consume to get this one done.

Thank you, next video coming very soon. I also have a series on my Volvo amazon if you haven't seen that, once this is road worthy we will be dropping back on to that.
