84 firebird / camaro front end

hey guys i just picked up an 84 firebird and it needs 2 front fenders and front bumper has a big crack in it and one headlight motor assembly is all broken the hood is good and on top of all the passegers door has been kicked in and creased the steel

so i was wondering how difficult is the front end swap considering i have an 86 z-28 parts car and everything is in way better shape lol wondering if any one had pics of a swap like this and or know if the doors ar required to be changed or ar the same ?

and i like the camaro front better anyways as i have an 89 iroc-z and the firebird is for the wife as its a 350 and 700r4 and she likes the camaro front as well so if i knew what i had to change it would make the job a whole lot more simple

Fenders and doors are the same.

The nose - bird has flip up lights, Camaro doesn't. It'll all swap, but you'll have to swap back to the structure that holds the lights - can't just swap plastic nose cones.

Fenders are not the same, but the Camaro one's bolt on. Doors are the same.

However, I would not suggest doing it. The Camaro and Firebird wheel arches are different so it doesn't look right.
