Many many years ago, my 242 was side swiped in a parking lot while under the ownership of the guy that got me into Volvos. I did an amateur Bondo job 6 years ago, and I haven't owned the car for a few years. Now that I own it again, I would like to fix it correctly.
Multiple sources sell wheel arch panels, but are listed as being for 4 door cars only. Seems to me that a major part of the patch panel can be used on my car, as I don't really see any difference between the arches on the two and four doors. Anyone know for sure?
I've done patch panel welding with my flux core wire welder before, and it works OK, but heats up the surface faster than other methods. This caused a bit of warping. Any suggestions from the more experienced?
