Nah, I think the parts that go around the headlight are a totally different shape. Could chop them I spose :?

Pretty sure thats all you need though, the latch is the same.

You cant modify them to fit, you need both guards. Dont need the bonnet tho.

you also need the headlight surrounds :wink:

Can this be done with mine? I'm guessing panels won't quite bolt up like they would on the sedans?

Isn't the bonnet on mine different though with the V shape? Are the guards the same? So just need lights, grille and guards?

the 80-82 can be swapped over reasonably easy but will need new holes drilled to mount the headlight unit. the grille and surrounds and valance(?) panel need to be swapped over.

the later ones would be a mission, but in saying that, i have 81 KE70 front and rear lights in my TE71, as well as bonnet, bumpers etc.

are you sure you don't need to drill holes to mount the headlight?
