can i fit a 81-85 front bumper on a 79-80
I was wondering if i could bolt on a front bumper off of a 81-85 onto my 1980 rx7? I can get a pretty nice front lip from my friend but it wont fit on the older bumpers. Anyone do this before?

Yes...but your fenders from the '80 won't blend with the bumper..I believe I yanked the support struts from the donor car. It's been a while since I did it and the car is gone now. If I remember right, the support struts bolt right onto the '80 frame with no problems. Take a look in this link to see some photos of the dearly departed...you'll see the mismatch that results...

Kinda long, but it's worth the dig, I believe that the wreck will have some detail shots as well...
