replacement body panel question

November 13, 2008, 12:08:39 PM

Will a 85 cougar fender and door match up to a 87 bird? I am questioning body lines and such. Also will the mirrors from the cougar(chrome) fit the 87 Bird if I pass on the door swap? Last question. has anyone here tried the replacement door hinge pins. If so did it solve the door sag issue. Thanks in advance

I've never tried swapping the doors, but I hear the body lines don't line up

1) Panels will fit, molding will not line up, grooves in the panels will not line up, door will mostly line up but not match anything. It's not recommended.

2) Mirrors will interchange with minor issues.

3) Generally the hinge pins will solve the sagging problem, yes.
