There's a lot of work there Anders, fenders are slightly different and so is the hood edge moulding, but plenty of people do it and it's all bolt on stuff :wink:

Anyway what's wrong with the 72 on front? I still think the later Chally Rallye tail treatment is the best of all e bodies too :mrgreen:

72-74 uses the same front end. The only difference is that 73-74 bumpers stick out farther away from the body and used large rubber bumper guards. If you don't like that look, you can remove the bumper guards and push the bumpers up close to the body. It will then look like a 72.

So were can I find a complete 7 front end? And is there anyone who has dome it, who can explain a littlebit more? Is it just about adapting the new front end to the car, or do I have to cut the fenders and hood? y the way, is there any custom front end available?

Use the search facility on this forum. There has been at least one detailed thread on this subject before that I remember.
