Then you need to try to save Blue Boy. He's a member of the family.

If your frame and suspension are OK(you drove home) then He's worth saving in my book. How many Wagons like yours are there? Less I'm sure than the equivalent sedans. and your wagon may have the same parts forward of the front doors as the sedans. I do knot know if this is true, but it's worth looking into.

Sure, if you go for new parts then it'll be more costly, but if you get good used parts then what you get from the insurance should take care of most of it. Get estimates from good MB shops in the area.

Are you a DIY'r and are you mechanically inclined? If so you can do most of the work yourself and save the labor charges.

I was scared to death to tackle anything on my MB......until I did some repairs myself and found, that though imposing, the MB is relatively simple to work on, and you have this forum(which has helped me immensely). We're all here to help or pass on what we have learned.

First find out what parts interchange between models, perhaps a grille from Ebay, or email an Ebay MB vendor and inquire about parts availability for Blue Boy. You might be pleasantly surprised at the interchangeability of parts between models.

Hope this helps. I know it's tough to see a member of your family hurt, even if it's an automobile, but HE saved your family.

Let us know what transpires.
