I was wondering how hard it would be to swap the front and rear clips/lights from a 77 "sport hatchback" (quad headlight/slim angled taillight) onto a 80 "hatchback" (2 round headlights/vertical tailights) ie HR07 front and rearend onto a MR07 body.
The reason I'm asking is that last year my 77 sypder took a beating in a hail storm and lost it's windshield, due to the high cost of getting a replacement, the amout of body damage the car took, and all the rust she already had, I'm afraid she's now only a parts car.
I have a chance to pick up a 1980 hatchbach with the 2 round headlights near me for a fair price, but I'm just not that crazy about that body style. I assume the only tricky part with the front is rewiring for the different lights but I'm not sure if the the rear clip/lights will be a bolt on affair.
Also how tricky would it be to move my factory gauges into the standard speedo/fuel gauge dash.
many thanks in advance
