Hi guys (and gals?). I'm stripping various parts of a '86 turbo parts car and putting them on a '85 turbo. I'm going to be swapping the interior (since the '86 dash is black and PERFECT!!).

The side skirts and bumper look really good and I would like to put them on the 85 as well. Will this work? I have noticed that the front fenders are different (and plan on swapping that over too). What, if anything, will be troublesome with this swap?

Thanks

C'mon. I see everyone merely looking at this and not replying. Any info is appreciated.

I have actually - believe me, I've looked at ALL the sites - and I know they're different. I just wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on it. Will the smoothed out front fenders look weird with the more abrupt-looking rear fenders? I think I'll do a little photoshopping tonight and see how it would look.

Look again grasshopper. The '86 front fenders have a very nice flare. In fact, they may be the widest, and nicest looking fenders of all the z31s.

the side mirrors on that parts car any good?

I think it would look strange to have smooth flares up front. The front bumper is hardly any different. Mainly just that it is body colored.

Find a 1987-89 front bumper, hood, and headlights for a swap. Otherwise don't waste your time.

If you put smooth fenders up front, get the AE flares for the rear. That always looks good.

Haha. I just got this one. I'm gonna tear into it before I think about selling any parts on it to other people...
