    Will the front metalwork, guards, bonnet, radiator support panel etc from an
    80s 240 Series, bolt onto an earlier 245 model? A quick measure and look
    seems to say yes but there seems to be a little difference in the curve
    where the rubbing strip goes. The dash and interior etc seems ok, and may
    even get brave and do an engine swap but going from a B21 manual to a B23
    auto may be fun. The running gear from the newer one will go under the
    wagon to drop the revs at highway speed.

    Has anyone done this? Just a thought about combining two cars with damage
    at diffent ends.
