don't have a c70 nor do i plan on getting one, but i have a burning question about them. is it possible to do an 850 front end swap on one? haven't found anything else on the world wide web for it, just an odd irrelevant question.

850 front end swap have been done on V70/S70, but the C70 front fenders have a different shape so there would be some proper bodywork involved

other than that, it doesnt look too hard of a job

this was actually very helpful, thank you for answering my unconventional question!
