Home from college last week I was junkyarding a turbo with the wheels removed and up on blocks. They only wanted $15 for the sway bars. I took them out, but they seemed a little too thin to be turbos. I don't have a micrometer but using a crescent wrench,they seemed to be the same as a DL next to it. The car I took them off of was an early turbo, but it had four round headlights. Did turbos come that way? I thought the first year of the turbo was '81, which would mean 4 square headlights, right? I'm confused. Maybe the DL had turbo bars, maybe a crescent wrench is no way to measure a 2mm difference. Who knows. At any rate, I payed $55 for the bars, an original tool kit, four factory volvo rubber floormats, a perfect black dashboard and glovebox, and some other things. I feel way lucky even if the bars are the sameas my DL's.

Also, the turbo had nice power mirrors, but I couldn't find the controls. Are they the little joystick-like switches built into the console? Just wondering. Peace!

Yes, the mirrors are powered controlled by the two trigers by the e-brake. I would grab those if I was you as they are kind of cool. Good luck and happy bricking.

Correct that a turbo would have had the rectangular lights. Perhaps it was a turbo, then stripped of the turbo parts before going to the junkyard, or it was a DL with the turbo motor put in. It may very well be that it's the thin bars ... in which case, I suppose it won't hurt to go dual sways.
