'83 fender on a '91?

Coast2CoaStang · Feb 10, 2010

Can I modify a 1983 front fender to work on a 1991? I know that the fender extensions are different, but are the wheel arches different as well? I was curious if I could just trim the metal on the 1983 fender to accept the 1991 extension.

My original 1991 fender has seen better days, and I have a mint '83 fender I would like to use if possible. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks

With some work it will but the contours of the fender from early foxes will not look right. Molding design for example and the way it fits the nose.

Man, for the cost of a new fender its not worth you wasting the time, or effort on modifying an old one. You can get a new OEM quality reproduction unit for about $90 Mustang 91-93 Fender, Front, Rh at LRS - Same Day Shipping!

I would go with the correct fender. The wheel opening is larger on the 91-93 to accommadate 16" wheels. No since hacking up a mint 83 fender when new ones are cheap. If you cut it and it doesn't look right, you won't be happy and will just end up buying a new one anyway. Buy the new one and sell the other one.

Seems like a good price from LRS. I was planning on reusing the fender mouldings and extension from the original fender anyway, so that may be the way I go. Can anyone chime in on quality, and fitment before I order one. Thanks

Edit: Nevermind, $135 for shipping?

Yikes!

You can get one from ebay for ~$150 including shipping.

However, if you're in Mass, go to Mustangs Unlimited in Manchester Conn. It's ~1.5->2 hours from Boston.
Mustangs Unlimited Directions to our locations

Mustangs Unlimited - 91-93 Fender RH
Mustangs Unlimited - - 91-93 Fender LH
$85

Make sure you call first to see if they have it on Manchester.

That's where I got my M2300K brake kit. I saved a lot on shipping. We just took the parts out of the big shipping box and put them in the back of my Stang.
