RE: what body parts are interchangeable?
 

I am also wondering if anyone has done any front valance modifications?

I am thinking about cutting the current openings an extra 1.5 inches lower. There really isnt any room to make them wider just taller.

Could I get our resident areo-space engineer to add his input regarding volume and mass air flow and how it could affect the car?

Never tried it but would like to see the outcome of it being done.

IMO you made the spoiler weaker and it might crack easily when you hit something. It sure does look nice though.

sure can...what did you have in mind?

As for weaker... i was going to take ane reinforce the roll at the bottom by folding in some fiberglass.

So here I am back to this very question again...are any of the S or C 70 body parts interchangeable with the 850?

PS...I had some jackass hit me in the front driver fender...bastard wasn't even insured...or speak any english!!!

Question for tech...does the quarter pannel wrap to the rear? Or would I be better off trying to get someone to pund out the dent? Its located on the outside lamp assembly.

I would try to massage it out.
The fenders and hood are different but you could convert the front end to an S70 and use the entire front end.
