The Saffron Parts Car

It’s a sad sight to see a wrecked Saffron but I get some really good parts. The car was purchased by the previous owner as a project with a blown motor. He installed a motor out of a wrecked 1998 V70R at 152k miles and went completely through it. Timing belt, drive belt, PCV, cam seals, main seals, oil pan seal, rebuild turbo, intake seal, exhaust seal, etc. The car now has 180k miles. He also was in the process of changing the interior from beige to black, all he had left was the head liner and the dash. Other than the headliner, I would give the interior a 9 out of 10. He also did a bunch of upgrades, 302mm front brakes, vented rear discs, IPD sway bars (not verified yet), and LED lights in the interior including gauges. I’m sure there is more I haven’t found yet. The previous owner is the owner of an independent Volvo shop in Denver.

He let his son drive the car, he pulled out into traffic at a red light, and was hit.
