RBoy8 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 S70 with 850R front would look more interesting than a V70 with an 850R though... S70 rear end and 854R rear ends look different. V70 and 855R rear ends look nearly identical save for a few things here and there. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdaddylee82 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Anyone ever swap a 850R front body (IE everything up to the windshield) onto a S70? Get out of my head! I've been wondering this for a while, Google and the forums haven't given the answers I wanted though yawn .... I take this to mean it's as simple as I had hoped? Were you able to keep the x70 core support/inner fenders, and simply "skin" them with 850 hood, fenders, bumper, etc.? Details man, details... at least point us in the right direction. - Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

--Aaron-- Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 justin what the hell happened to that car AFAIK His brother drives it daily, it's beat up pretty good. Body lines were never tweeked to be perfect. Pretty dirty inside, etc. I think it has a handful of small mechanic problems as well. It does run though.

Chilled man Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 actually got side swipped a few weeks ago Some pushstart hit him side ways and then back up and took off lol I just took a hammer and crow bar and banged it out. AFAIK His brother drives it daily, it's beat up pretty good. Body lines were never tweeked to be perfect. Pretty dirty inside, etc. I think it has a handful of small mechanic problems as well. It does run though. 100% correct and was just inspected 2 months ago with 180,000+ on it :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--Aaron-- Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Damn, does he plan on fixing the damage? Either way you sure did get your money out of that car if it's still running. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
