There's 1 or 2 post made by me about this :shifty:

I've got an entire Gen2 front clip to sell -Minus- the left fender

I have a left fender

You can even put a gen 2 nose on a gen 1. I saw one in the junkyard last year.

Gen 1 nose on a Gen 2 : OK

Gen 2 nose on a Gen 1 : Not OK





IMO

i agree with dan.

that guy was prolly just using parts he had laying around.

but yeah, the fronts swap out.
gen 1 and gen 2 have a lot of similarities. same door shells and stuff.

Gen2 clip on a Gen1 would be the easier, yet worst looking of the possibilities

The Gen1 clip will fit a Gen2, however there are a couple mods that'll need to be done with this combo. Some guys have used spacers between the engine cradle and the frame, 1/4" iirc. You'll need to clearance the hood in a couple places

I just picked up this 97 for a parts car, has a blown head gasket
