Just for fun, thought I'd post some pics of my recent deer hit. Car is back with a junkyard white hood and junkyard lights, new radiator. Still need to score a fender and a door. Notice the detail on the mirror!

 

yikes. must have been a dead-center hit....did the deer live?

 

Glad your ok. Deer strikes will cause some damage...

 

ibi- Well I know I killed one of them, might have hit 2, dont know. Yes, my daughter and I are fine, although she fealt sorry for the deer- produced tears. Was less than a 1/2 mile from the house, waited too long to tell my neighbor, he wanted to "harvest" it.

I was just over at my u pull it, would a V70 cross country door work on an 850? I'm guessing not, but thought Id ask. It's white.

My understanding is that these doors come off in minutes. I would pull it, install it on an 850 there to see.

 

rspi- I understand what you are saying- that would be an excellent way to tell!

The only 850 over there is all smashed up on the drivers side- but now that I think of it, I could pull the passenger sides to do a test. thats a good idea.

I wouldnt mind changing the passenger side also, i'm a little bit dented / rusty over there too. Rust at bottom of window at the seal. Dave

 

Sadly, the V70 door won't work very well on your 850. The exterior trim is held on differently, plus wiring differences due to location of window switches. I think the door structure is different, where the door panel attaches, as well.

 

thats kind of a drag, but what I figured. I did score an 850 replacement mirror for $8 though...

 

I kinda liked the furry one. It looked fine to me.

 

I agree with rspi there - never seen a deerskin leather mirror before...pretty baller!

 

yeah, except the glass and motor thing were smashed out. I still have the fur... :-)
