Question SA to FB bumper conversion

Would it work?
We're looking for a bumper setup to replace the sa's old one because a new valence and grill costs so much we could get the whole set up off of a junk car with good bumpers for the same price

would it work or what would be the problem?

its an 80 SA and not sure what year the FB is

I've done the swap before. It will require the bumper with bumper shocks, valance, windage tray (not sure what its called) and fenders.

An SA valence brand new is $40 from Blackdragonautomotive.com. You can find a grill easily on here for sale. It's alot less headache

well i need basically the whole set up and on the sa it seems like theres alot more too it than the fb

i'll look into it when i go to school
i mean we have about a week before were ready for the bumpers
we have to sand the back near the hatch to bare metal using two shitty DA's with p36 or p40
cause we don't have any good 900's and the way the hatch is and the back area

great fun comes 2 weeks though
fixing a rust spot =//
