Copied from my project thread, but posted here for more feedback.
Last weekend I hit the local PNP & was lucky enough to score a 93 Volvo 850 front bumper & that weekend all body parts were 60% off, so I got it for under $20.
I always knew the 93 850 front bumper would look pretty good on the 240, but my fabrication skills suck. Today I decided to give a go at fitting it.
I pulled the old bumper off, but wasn't sure how to get the complete 850 bumper on the car, so after a careful inspection, I realized the lower half of the 850 bumper was a separate piece, so I took it off & began fitting it to the stock 240 front bumper. 3 of the holes lined up with the stock 240 front spoiler, so all I had to do was drill 3 new holes and fix it to the bumper with some stainless bolts.
Here's the initial test fit, I still need to figure out what to do with the ends and eventually paint it black (it's dark green now).
Anyway, let me know what you think, I'm headed back to the garage.
