164-140 front end swap 140-160

You're right, some things probably just wouldn't look right even in a 140-140 front end swap. The rear-view mirrors, for example. But one thing I just can't stand are those tabletop-like bumpers. Granted, they add to the ability of these cars to have a 'tough as nails' reputation, but I think they're just plain U-G-L-Y. So at the very least I would consider swapping the bumpers for some euro-style or '71's or '72's.
So you have a '73 140, eh? Just the thing I'm looking for. I envy you. If you know someone in the Pacific Northwest who would be willing to part with one, feel free to drop me a line!

Thanks
