What Would I Need To Put An 85 T/A Front Clip On My 82

Would I need 85 T/A headlight doors or will my 82 headlight doors work with the 85 T/A front clip? Would I need anything else, has anyone tried this? Thanks

The headlights should be just find,, I believe it the 91-92's that are slightly different. If you get all the pieces parts from the donor car,, you shouldn't have much of a problem

Did it on my car. got a bumper cover and support from boneyard ( clean $200) and bolted it on. getting to the bumper cover/fender retaining bolts were the only pain. relatively easy job and sold my old one for $60
