Default switching bumpers and alternator

would bumpers from a 90 accord coupe fit well into my 91 dx sedan or 92 ex sedans?


and also would the alternator from a 90 coupe fit into a 92 EX sedan

i found this 90 coupe for 300 bucks but it needs a clutch, they said it doesnt move, im trying to repair the 91 DX sedan and this car would be perfect.... right?

I have a '90 coupe. The alternator within our generation Accord should be a simple replacement. The front bumper has a slightly different look/design, but as momstaxi said, "i believe all that stuff is interchangable." I have not had a chance to change these parts. Hope this helps.

Now I'm wondering what you will get from that '90, that I might need.

the guy said it wont move, so he thinks it needs a clutch, seems like your avg honda, its got 183k on it, guy said it runs fine, but something messed up and he decided to get a new car, id like those wheels they;re actually pretty good looking, but yea my DX has a lot of drivers side front end damage, its sitting leaned so i might need an axle or some suspension? im hoping i can take it all off the lx coupe

Depends what you want off of it. First, if he had no collisions, the body and suspension parts are mostly good. Second, if the engine starts and runs, you might get many engine parts. Do you know if his alternator is okay, before you swap it? If his engine runs, you could test the alternator while in the '90 car. Wheels are okay if it passes your visual inspection. Interior parts, upholstery, and such are okay if not cracked, ripped, or soiled.

the car looks fine, the guy said it wont move because it needs a clutch, but he said he would start it up for me if i came around one day just to hear it running ya know. i dont need any interior i just want to fix the damage to it which was drivers side front,

headlight smashed, messed up bumper, fender bent, inside engine bay messed up, the wiper fluid filler thing is almost on the ground due to the car being bent, its sitting crooked leaning down so im saying new axle? maybe its just a suspension thing but the tow truck guy said my axle is prob done, the engine i think is ok, the only thing that happened to it was that the timing belt was pushed against this tube so the tube was a little worn from the belt running against it but looks like i made a real close call with that. It will not start tho, my brother said right after the accident he started it up again but since iv gotten it back from impound lot it wont start, so i took the battery out for my EX since it needed one.


i'll try to get some good pics of it soon to show you guys
