If you can fix the NL easily enough, DO IT! They're lovely cars.

atually you might want to do a photoshop first, I dont know if a XR front end would look that good with the fairlane rear, not enough chrome up front IMO.

Nice idea though..

Chuck a FBT grille on a NL and it will look a million times better than an XR front end.
