Default 92-95 coupe front end on a 4DR

Well I might be getting a 4 door for cheap and it needs a new front end (hood,lights,fenders and bumper) and my friend just happends to have a front end from a coupe I also think this front end looks better I know I've seen it done befor but what I would like to know is how e-z is it to put this front end on and is there anything I need to do to get it to fit.I don't think it should be that hard but let me know.thanks

you will still need 4 door fenders because you will have to cut the fenders in half and weld the front half of a 2/3 dr. fender to the rear half of the 4 door fender.

do it i love the 2/3 door front end on a 4 door

Coupes and Sedans use the same core supports, most pita part on this is just doing the fenders.

I don't think you have to cut the fenders to change between the 2 door and 4 door on the 92-95 every thing should bolt right up

He is right. Use 2dr fenders and use 2dr corner lenses, basically just replace the whole front end (bumper, hood, fenders, cornerlenses, lights) with the 2dr front end. Cutting of the fenders is not needed to make this front end conversion work.

Isnt the 4dr front end longer then the 2dr though? hence why people had cut the 4dr fenders? Could be wrong but always seen people cut the fenders. But would make more sense to just change out the corners and the fenders rather the have to cut and weld **** if it can be prevented.

The front end is longer on the 4dr, you are correct. That is why when doing this conversion you should to use all 2dr parts. If you use a 4dr hood but use everything else 2dr, the hood will stick out because it is longer. If you use 4dr fenders with 2dr everything else, the fenders will stick out longer than the rest of the front and will not bolt up correctly with the bumper.

Gotcha so the main problem is the hood is what holds back the ease of the conversion, so if u have the hood then ur good to go on boltign up everything.
