87 t/a front end

so my friend end has a lot of damage that has been done and i have a 91 gta. I've gotten a hold of a 87 trans am front end and was wondering what was needed to make the swap. I dont plan on it staying like this very long but its gotta go on for a while since my original front bumper has been torn up pretty bad. let me know whats compatible and whats gotta be taken to make this possible.

Re: 87 t/a front end

so its going to take a bit of stuff, the fronts are quite different with the headlight buckets being the most different for fittinggoing from a 91 to and 87 is going to be relativly easier because your headlight buckets will work with an 87 nose just wont have the turn signal spots from the 91 to use with the 87 turn signals, but you can probably extend the wires up, and you will have gaps under the lights when thier in down position, and the ground effects wont match up well, but if its temporary you should be ok, I think all the mounts will still be the same places, dont know for sure, but they should be. hope this helps out some.
