87 to 86 front fender October 14, 2013, 07:49:31 PM Okay, so I got myself an 87 Cougar, I don't like the front end and was wondering if it is compatible with the 86 front, I want to replace the grille, bumper, and fender body. Just wondering if anyone has looked into it or if I just need to stick with the 87 look. Quote Selected
87 to 86 front fender Reply #1 – October 14, 2013, 08:04:08 PM it bolts on but the trim may not line up.I consider the 87-88 cars headlights ti be down right dangerous. I plan on doing the same 83-86 swap at some point on my 87 bird Quote Selected

87 to 86 front fender Reply #6 – October 14, 2013, 08:36:12 PM Yea, after you mentioned the trim I figured I'd just toss it. I prefer the look of the 83-86 nose over the 87-88 nose anyways. Quote Selected
