This looks rather better than I thought it would....
 
There appears to be a couple of extra holes. I wounder what car they were supppose to be on. Also no over-riders to protect that grill.

They resemble Volvo P1800 units but I can not be sure.Don't need no overiders they won't protect anything anyway.---Keoke
 
To my mind someone got one heck of a deal for 13K. Org or not it looks good and is driveable.

Four? Four!

Does it really take that many to get enough bits to make one that works? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif

There are times when I think that having most of the bits of most of just one is too much.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
 
When I bought my 100-4 back in '89 it had a split rear bumper with the liscense plate between the 2 halves. It actually looked pretty nice but I changed it to the correct bumper. Still have the 2 halves if anyone is interested.
