Body/Trim: - V70 - 2000 Front end onto 2004

BobManifold · Dec 10th, 2017, 21:57

I have a very inexpensive, very good condition, 2004 V70 available that had a front end ding, damaging the hood, driver side headlight, bumper cover, headlight, radiator & inter-cooler. Wing is good and not damaged and only real damage is the radiator upper cross-member.
I have a 2000 V70 that went tits up on me a few weeks ago and with all sorts of electrical problems I dont want to pursue.
I see that the 99 & 00 body V70 parts are not interchangeable with the 2004 V70 (although the sS0 & C70 are) but I was thinking before I scrap the 00 V70, swapping the whole front end, hood, wings, headlights, radiator/intercooler, crossmemebr. bumper cover etc.
Obviously this will need a bit of jigging to get right.... I'm looking for anyone on the forum to tell me 'this won't work because....'.... diifferent mounts, alignment, chassis mounts etc....
Thoughts anyone?......

If both vehicles are pre-facelift P2's the parts should be interchangeable. If the 2004 is early facelift then the headlamp wiring is different & it will probably have washers on the headlamp rather than wipers, so the bumper will be different.

Is the 2000 car a P1 or P2 model? That was the changeover year I think.

If P2, is should be a more-or-less bolt on swap.
