Front End Swap

I have a 89 IROC convertible I purchased many years ago and have started rebuilding. The other day I purchased a 1988 IROC convertible to part out that has rear end damage for 150$.

The front end on my car is pretty twerked up from a accident (was told it never had been in one) and what I'm wondering is there a way to remove the entire front area from the firewall forward or would some cutting and welding be involved.

Re: Front End Swap

The fenders, etc can be unbolted and swapped directly over but on our cars, the front subframes would have to be cut out and rewelded onto the new car.
