Body Parts Interchangability 120-130

Chris;

I would say yes also...because the sheet metal and body dimensions did not change over the production years...BUT...just recently (on the Volvoniacs (German) vintage Volvo forum), a poster had difficulties fitting an early donor trunklid to a late chassis, when there was no record of accident or evidence of plastic on either. He posted, that there was excessive overlap when attached to the hinges...I jokingly suggested that someone had sat on the lid maybe stretching it...but someone else posted that MAYBE there were upgrades or replacements made on the presses used in shaping the sheetmetal over the production run years...bottom line is still that they should basically fit OK, but SOME hand fitting will probably be required to get it just right (just as there probably was done originally at the factory!).

When compared to the other responses, I guess no one will ever call me a "man of few words".

Cheers
