i drive a parts car, it has a salvage title. Its lasted me 7 yrs so far.
i'd teach myself bodywork and fix it.

Sure, I kept and repaired my totaled 850 wagon, then last year gave it away and it's still on the road 9 years later. But it was fixable, I'm guessing this one not so much. If it's truly just a bent door, and maybe bent rear axle, then sure, but I am guessing frame damage. Maybe I'm wrong!

Did you sell this yet? If it's not difficult to replace the door and you want to replace it let me know. I am willing to install it for you and if the frame is not damaged nor the rear axle, I would consider it.

Thanks guys,

My daughter does not want to keep it, so in a few wks, it is going to some local brick lover enthusiast(s) vs junk yard...

Have you found a buyer or intend to repair the door? Wonder if either rear door of an 01 V70 or 04 XC70 would fit?

Right now just driving around with spare tire.

She will get another P2 S60 end of Oct. or so.

This will go to whoever wants to fix it.
She does not want to keep it.

It still has another 100K miles in its lifespan, as we know some in this forum go to 300K miles...

PS: I am not a body work guru, but what I can see from 1200 miles away...
- New LR door from junk yard, paint it if one wants to. But not absolutely necessary. How many times have you worn different sock colors between your R vs L foot lol...
- Cut some metal and weld it to the wheel arch. Then Bondo, prime, paint.
- Most ppl in this forum can handle this job.

Raleigh surrounding cities are some of the greenest and best urban development areas in the entire country unlike old NC towns so not an issue. RTP is consider the silicone valley of the East and has mainly new development in the last 30 years so again better urban development from flooding in most areas around RTP.

Was checking on a friend. "Our nearest town, Lansing (NC), was mostly under water. All the stores on main street were flooded including the grocery store, post office, and fire house. Many houses flooded out and several washed away completely. Also many of the roads and bridges washed out."
