I just recently purchased a 87 and up front bumper for a mondial. I have an 84 Convertible, I would like to know if anybody has ever done the swap or if you have any info on how hard or easy it would be to swap out. What would I need? Is it a Direct swap? Is there any Mods that need to be done? Or is it an impossible task? Anything that can help is greatly appreciated.
It's been done before by an FChatter with some modifications neccesary to the mounting brackets, but the end result looked quite nice. I'll try to find a photo when I get home tonight and perhaps they will see this and reply.
You need to remove the front Lower valance, grill etc and make a few brackets to get it to fit properly at the front, doing the rears is a bit more involved.....you need to remove a bit of the lower rear part of the wing....as well as fab brackets etc we're currently working on a kit to put modified 348 bumpers onto QV's and 8's...as soon as I've found the time to finish it I'll post pics of the rear

forget whose this is, but looks good to me. Still has the metric wheels with the newer bumper Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Wow, the 3.2 bumpers on the QV make the QV look very much like a 3.2. What about the grille? But the 348 front on the Mondial looks really cool! Now if we can just add the cheese grater tail lights.... Birdman
We'll get the cheese grater tail lights so we can then buy the upgrade kit to convert back to round ones...
