Can you make a 87-88 turbo coupe front clip on a 1988 cougar xr7 talking header panel, lights bumper and possible fenders, i hit a deer with my xr7 and cant find any parts but found two 87-88 turbo coupes with a nice front. Please help!!!!
Fenders and hoods are the same, and 87-88 header panels and bumpers are interchangeable between cougars and birds.
I believe you have to swap the bumper and header panel together though, since the tbird header panel is more pointy.
Thank you for clearing that up im not sure how its going to look but it will be different lol
I almost had the same problem years ago, but opposite. Hit a deer with my TC and could not find a parts car anywhere. One yard had a Cougar with a good front end, and I considered buying it til they found the only TC in the county, and I didn't even care that it was maroon going on my blue car.
Forgot to add, post pics if you do it. Never seen a half breed before.
Have you tried using http://www.car-part.com to locate the parts? You are really close to Charlotte and a couple other larger cities that may have the parts.
It swaps fine, although, I went the other way.
Meet the thundercat. Tbird with a cougar front end.

Later the same night, after draging the car around the driveway with the brakes locked to pull the radiator support out. Ignore the missing light, I was at AutoZone getting a new bulb. And the broken price of the header panel by the hood. When you only have one car, you do what you gotta do.
