Recommended Posts

I'm picking up a 2000 v70r parts car with tan interior.

What should i take that can be put on an 850 wagon?

this is the list i was thinking (some parts might not be swapable but at least have some value)

gauge cluster

wheels

302mm brackets

bumper

ecu

turbo

taillights

gauge cluster - faces will swap to Yakazi cluster or x70 clusters, but you can't just drop the cluster in.

wheels

302mm brackets

bumper - need complete front end for swap (bumper, rad support, headlights, hood, etc)

ecu - only useful to sell for cloning, ECU is VIN-mated on 99+ cars

turbo

taillights

As far as other parts, 2 categories: swap to your wagon, and sell.

Swap:

Aluminum door sills

R seats

Rear armrest with cupholders

SC901 with 4x50 amp and potentially the optional Dolby 5.1 setup.

The overhead switches should be lighted,

Floormats have "R" stiched in,

auto gear shift and ebrake handle are leather wrapped with blue stitching,

Steering wheel is beefier and has "thumb rests"

Side turn makers

Windshield sprayers have an improved pattern

00 models also have revised upper engine and firewall mounts, some people feel they are a better design and I'm pretty sure those swap right over as well. If you have poly already, I'd skip the 00 mounts

Sell:

R door panels

Dual exhaust (won't fit a FWD wagon without custom work)

Downpipe (improved design relative to -99 models)

What's different about the tailgate?

Also, I would swap the interior however, the 850 has a black interior so I'm looking for a black interior.

some of the things on that list are what i would sell since i wouldn't have any use for them such as the bumper and ecu.

Tailgate has LED brake lights at the top edge of the glass.

850 tailgates have incandescent brake lights just above the rear wiper.

how are the front seat skins?

edit, sounds like youll be using them, if not let me know..

I would if they were black, but they are tan so not going to be using them.

sounds like the tailgate is a pretty nice upgrade. Is the platinum paint pretty hard to get/expensive?
