When my dad bought it, it was all original except the previous owner decided to put a 70 front grille on it. We had a 72 one for it though. So we just fitted that, and then tidyed up the rest of the car.

Yes. Welding required.
Converting to the more popular 70 grille is quite common.
Going back to the original is not so common and I take my hat off to your Dad for doing that 'Nanaskin.
