Hi All
I have a 2.8 i7 X220 that has seen better days but works perfectly, I also have an X220i which looks perfect but is dead, my question is could I swap the innards from the 2.8 i7 machine into the chassis from the X220i?

Or even an X200 as I have a dead one of those too!

Yes. The X220 and X220i use the same chassis.

Won't work, since the machines have very different designs.

The X200 uses a 16:10 aspect ratio screen, while the X220 has a 16:9 aspect ratio screen.

I've started stripping down the X220 to recase it, I've ordered some new panels too to give it a spruce up too
