I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Makes it snubbed nose, Rear portions end up being longer.

You could probably make it look good, But that was thrown together.

I disagree. It looks like to me that not only does the trim match up, but he put a different trim on the front of the fender to match the front, and the back has the same as the rest of the car. The fenders look like they were probably replaces at the same time, otherwise, there would be damage on them from the doors being bent up if they didn't swap them out.

I wanted to do a 87-88 front on my car way back. Glad I didnt.

No matter how you look at it, that is A LOT of rust for the area. And $900 is no where near what its worth.

Looks silly with a tbird nose. Needs a Cougar front end and lots of good steel.
