Ph1 front end on Ph2

[deer_dodger]

Anyone ever seen or built a ph2 with a ph1 front end?

 

[Fletcher]

Why would you want to?

Besides you can pick up a Ph1 172 for peanuts anyway.

 

[Pete.]

Would require a whole new front end can only see it as an option if you are repairing a Phase 2 and have a whole Phase 1 as a donor.

Buy a ph1 and change the rear its easyer

Yes, its called a phase 1.

Yes, its called a phase 1.

lol, but I like my low mileage 182 with Cup suspension and nicer interior. I just think the ph1 172 front end is far nicer looking.

What are the actual front end differences?

Slam panel
Wings
Bonnet
Bumper and grills
Headlights

Or is there more to it than that?

I've got an entire spare Phase 1 front end that I was going to swap for a phase 2 front end with a local guy, but he never wants to commit to it. The parts required are pretty much detailed above.

Are you crazy?

Why would you possibly want to the ph2 front end is 1000000000x nicer

Would love to have done this to my 182 trophy - I love the ph1 front end

 

[MatthewR]

Ph1 sport front is a million times better looking..

 

[jesus]

 

[Struggler]

ph1 front end is so much nicer!!

i actually prefer the look of the ph1 rear ends too! more racey

 

[Jonff]

The parts don't just bolt on when doing the conversion either IIRC.

Are you crazy?

Also JESUS LOVES PH-1s

 

[Korky]

Bolt holes for the tops of the wings don't all line up, headlight bracket holes don't line up.

A friend of mine has just done it.

 

[Budgie]

The above us easily sorted tbh..

I've got a full Ph1 front end for sale cheap!
