    Default Mk1 to Mk2

    Not sure what section to put this in, but anyway...

    I want to convert my mk1 front end to a mk2, what exactly would i need for this parts wise?

    Obviously the lights and bumpers are different but what else?


    also, i think ive seen a build thread on here that did it, anyone got a link?

    Wings, headlights, grilles, bumpers mainly...the bonnets are also different but only aesthetically so not essential to change

    Sell your car to somebody who appreciates the beauty and superior design of the original Mk1 shape and use the money to purchase the inferior Mk2 you desire
