240 round headlight conversion
Hello all,
Personally I prefer the look.of the early 240s round headlight, grille etc. Has anyone on here done the conversion to a late 240 without having to replace the bonnet etc. I have looked for the answer but cant seem to find out much. Many thanks Joe |

You’ll need to change the front scuttle panel, the front wings, the bonnet and other supporting metalwork behind. Possible, but a lot of work.
Might be easier to just buy an early car. Cheers |

Sod that then. No. My car Is spotless so not looking for another car just prefer the early look of the front on earlier models. I've found a far more straightforward way through Dai at Classicswede. Thanks anyway.

Your car will always look " odd" if you tamper with things like that👍
