91 Body to 92

[mrtalon40]

Now i wanna convert my 91 to a 92 up front end style and I have looked all around this forum to see if I can found somebody who has done it but no luck with that! If anybody has done it or knows how to do it please give me a few tips on what I need, and what I have to do, I already know I need the lights, the front bumper, hood, and fenders and remove the ones one there now, now I want to know if anything else needs to be done!

Thats all you would need. The frame might be a little different, not sure, but im sure itll work. The holder for the that mounts to the body would also be needed for the lights.

The radiator brace is the same. If you have all the braces for the 92 up you are set.

ok thanks so is there any wiring that needs to be changed?

 

[coeclipse12]

the whole wire harness for the lights or u can cut and splice...much harder but I didn't have the money or time to go to a junk yard after I just my engine

the connectors must be a little different?

yes the connectors from the pop up lights to the projectors are different.. I personally think it quicker to cut and splice but u have to figure ou which wire goes where they are different colors from91 to 92... I will try to take a few pics this afternoon... the light harness if I remember right runs inside the driver fender into the fire wall pain in the ass...

so I will have to cut the wires as far back as the fire wall? I agree I need some picture so I can go off I though I would of been able to find info in VFAQ.COM but didn't find nothing!
