Body part interchange?

[JDFBear]

Hello

 

I was given a TC  a month ago.  to be honest not sure what year but it has the airbag and 3.0  its black with the ginger interior.  it hasn't been driven for 4 years so it needs some work to get it running again.  while looking for parts i found a 89 bordeax with ginger Turbo with a perfect mint interior for 400$  i ended up trading a .45 pistol for it.  it actually runs and drives though rough  but it need the front clip.  the weird thing was is as i was comparing the two they have different front cross member.  are the hood, fenders, bumpers interchangeable?   i dont want to strip the black one for body parts and they not fit the bordoux one.  Are the crossmember  welded in place or can be swapped?   ideas?

The 89 looks like a relatively early car (black trim instead of woodgrain around radio and window switches) so you need to look at whether the hood props are mounted in the same place as the 90-91 black car. Or you can post the last 6 of the vin for the 89 and find out here. The hoods could be different depending on where the props mount at the firewall.
