my bumper and header panel on my bird is trash all busted u but have been having trouble finding birds being parted out or in the jy's the last time i went i only found 1 tbird but the bumper was beat up too but i saw a few clean cougars and was wondering if i can throw 1 of those on my bird or do they bolt on diffidently?

It should be direct bolt on but the front ends swapped just look very funky.

funky isn't the word i'd use.. lol but it's a direct bolt on.. remove the badging, cut the roof off and take the front end off and birds/cougars are identical, side by side.. PM dougy fresh, he's parting out a few cars.. he may have all of what you need

aaah, she's a 4 eyed bird.. any 83-86 header/bumper will look good.. i don't think an 87-88 aero from end would look very good with the overall flow of the car.. and the impact moldings won't line up correctly

In my opinion a 4 eyed cougar front end on a four eyed tbird body is the epitome of fox style.

Heck, I thought the cougar and bird 4 eye headers were the same till I bought a 4 eye cougar and realized that not a single headlight surround or grille would fit between the cougar and bird.

Heh I learned that lesson a few years ago when I sold a pair of Tbird headlight buckets to a dude with a 4 eye Cougar on craigslist. When we met up I held them up next to his car and had an oh shiznit moment. He ended up buying them anyway though.

Heck yeah it'll work:

I love my Thundercat. I've actually come to like it more than the old front end. Oddly enough still haven't painted it but people keep telling me to leave it as is and like the two colours, lol. It's got a personality for sure.

Oddly enough I've never had anyone at all even mention or give it much notice that its two cars, heh. They just notice the colours.
