Yea, the fronts would be pretty easy if you had the right parts off the donor car.

But at the rear... I think your only option would be to swap out the entire rear end from your donor car, which would involve cutting and welding new suspension mounts on teh 1800e rear. Not worth it just to be able to fit the turbo wheels. But if you like the idea of having four wheel disc brakes, then it becomes more viable.

And no... there never has been a drum brake Volvo with the late bolt pattern.

All that said, though the turbo wheels do look great, you have LOTS of alternatives with that early bolt pattern, and you would surely find something you like if you looked around.

Geez... looking at the ad you posted. That sounds like a pretty decent deal. Especially if it's Canadian dollars. That comes out to about US$5700 for a completely sorted race car... Pretty inexpensive way to get into the hobby...
