Headlight and front end conversion
« on: January 18, 2011, 06:07:51 pm »
Has anyone converted a 70's style front end 1st pic to a late 80's with the quad headlights 2nd pic? Would like to do that and was wondering if it's been done.

I always thought the round lights were better looking until I got an 86 with 4 eyes. I like them both.
I do like the 81-87 fenders better though.

     I agree, I just don't see the reason you would want to..

Both styles are great but the 73-80's are becoming more and more scarce.... Save them!
