91-92 front end

Anyone know if a 91-92 GTA front end will bolt right up to an 89 GTA? Thanks

The hood is the same, the Fenders have the same part numbers, so I would think that it should work, you will need almost everything else though...

Yes, it'll bolt right up. You'll end up with a set of holes on the front of the fenders though from removing the earlier style gfx.

I was thinking that the headlight and the headlight buckets would interfere with it.....hmmmmm...I could be wrong.

ACTUALLY, the headlight will work, but if you do the conversion, the bezel from the 82-90 will hit the front facia. If you remove that they will work.

The headlights kind if changed in 91-92, so if you find a donor car, get the headlamp assemblies. They changed all of the hinged parts on the headlights for 91 & 92. The bracket that bolts to the body, the motors & the little arms that attach to the motor & such seem to be the same though...
