early KE70 and AE71 front panels swap?

[floody31]

Just pondering a hypothetical swap, I happen to like the look of the early KE70 front end, as opposed to the later AE71/KE70 front lights/panels, but it seems a lot easier to start a project with an AE71 (currently rising D1 tax notwithstanding).
Will the early panels interchange onto the later car?

sure u can... but might need some redrilling or welding...
more info @ www.rollaclub.com or somethign

i think i've heard something about radiator support and front beaver panel being different, not 100% sure but definately do your research before you start. could be expensive as well

bonnet
headlights
grill
front guards
side repeaters (maybe)

Ok, no worries.
That seems like a lot of panels, but I can't see them being more expensive than all the AE71 bits to fit a 4A into a KE70 though.

haha, i had this same feeling...

ill end up getting a jdm front end, i love corollas!

like the twin head lights ones?

[v-tec]

thats what i wish to do some time...

will be fitting some sorta quad lights also, however, i doubt it will be the jap ones as i hear they are quite expensive

[RobertoX]

yeah $500 for just the lights and grille...but meh - looks fat - just gotta source some

I'd be happy to just use the aussie single light setup, but those twin lights look pretty cool!

Yeah, I too would love a shovel-front (square ke70) look on my 84 - but being a budget car I think that kind of cash would be better spent in the engine bay or wheel-wells...
