I don’t know if you know but on the A1 about one hour from the M25 heading north on the left hand side of the road is a VOLVO yard and he has loads of breaking cars ,it must be worth a look 👍
Funny, I think I found one of your other videos the other day, I'm also in Worcestershire, also 25 and also buying a 1997 850 soon 😂 madness, love the content!
@@scottr9785 2,4 I think (might be 2,3 or 2,5 dunno exactly) gov website says 2499cc but swear Volvo class it as a 2,3 😂 850 cd estate, loved them since I was a kid!
Good video - I'd have been tempted to weld the existing wing to be honest given the damage on the new one, but excellent either way that you're keeping her on the road :)
It was a toss up between the two for sure just wasn’t sure how well welding would’ve gone and the costs with it. Definitely trying to keep her on the road
Great video mate, glad you found a replacement wing. Looking forward to the next episode 👍🏽
Great video! Cool car too, hopefully it runs well soon!!

Interesting haven’t actually heard of this place I’ll keep that in mind
@@scottr9785 Nice video! The breaker's is called Lakes. It's about 1/2 mile north from the Black Cat roundabout.
Great 👍video....I'm driving 1997 Volvo850 t5 2.3
After driving this one I think I’d enjoy to have a t5 or 850r for sure

Amazing, what sort of 850 you looking at getting

@@scottr9785 well... weld the old wing up and sell for £400. Ker-ching :)
Scott, you simply could have patched it with fibre glass, sanded it and repainted it, then used some rust protection film.
It’s all learning an experimentation for me the wing was picked up a reasonable price but thanks for the suggestions will keep that in mind 👍👌
A ”Little” bit of rust😅👌
Are we talking about the old wing or the new one 😅
Are Autumn Gold 850s rare in Europe? They only released them as a special "Gold Edition" over here.
Not entirely sure haven’t seen many others about in this colour and wasn’t actually aware that was the name of the paint which is helpful so thanks 👌
