pre and post facelift interchangablity

Post by PhyrraM »

Can a pre-facelift front end be hung on a post-facelift chassis? Can the existing core support and front innerfenders be used as-is or do you have to use a matching core support?

Is the hood scoop (not the whole hood) the same pre and post?


Are the door shells, front and rear, the same pre and post facelift? Not worried about the inner door panels.

Thanks

I think it's the same down to the frame. I know the doors and whatnot are the same. I also think the hood scoops are the same.

Nope, scoops are different.

. . . As are a lot of things between the two, including radiator core support, and fenders, bumper, and fascia. I'm adding all this just for searchability later, but it is relevant to your original post.
