You can use the rear end for sure.  The front spindles, 5 lug brakes will work also.  You'll want to run the SN95 master cylinder for the best pedal effort/feel.

Unfortunately, the T5 won't work - as the input shaft is too long on the SN95 cars.

Everything else can be fabricated up.  Even the interior could be swapped if you wanted.

Good luck!

The '96 spindles are a big NO for your '88.

'94/'95 only on those..read THIS (http://"http://64.57.210.240/%7Efoxtbird/showthread.php?t=29790") for the appropriate info and links to explain.

As mentioned above, the rear is a direct swap, or if it's the 7.5 (V6 car only) you can pull the axles, brakes, etc and swap onto your 8.8 .

Do grab the front rotors, calipers and struts if you can, then all you need is the '94-'95 spindles...good to go.
