rear boot looks to high for a 740, its definately looks like a 900 series.

anyone got any links to the front end V90/S90 conversion?
I thought I read somewhere that the v90 had a longer bonnet than the 740/940 and so is not an easy swap

i heard it was pretty much bolt on, although! you had to weld plates at the wing tops next to the windscreen as the 740 wings are longer, but i could be wrong......
