242 flathood grill 200

My newest acquisition is a 1980 242 with a flathood that I bought at an auction for $140.00. It has the paperwork to verify a new engine with 39000 on it and 15000 on the tranny. It wouldn't start at the auction and had 3 flat tires and a bent control arm. I adjusted the lockout on the shifter and it started right up, needs a minor tune but otherwise sounds pretty good and is a quick runner now that the control arm has been replaced. I already had an extra set of virgos to put on. The interior is faded, but only needed armrests. Documentation from previous owner show many new parts including the fan motor. My wife has been wanting one of these since we started to collect Volvos. My question is, where would I find a grill to fit quad headlights? The only spare grill I had sticks out too far because it wasn't from a flathood. My local parts yard has a lot of Volvos, but not the correct hood. Anybody know where I can locate one? I live close to Portland, Ore. TIA, Bob
