90lxcoupe, most people are interested in completely unmolested cars, although yes if it was clean it wouldn't be as bad.

That aero car is toast, part it out

swap the drivetrain and slap some primer on the 86 and you'll have a whole new vehicle.

No sense in ruining a good car to save a trashed one

what's the motor btw?

Aero motor is stock, just headers

86 has no engine or drivetrain

Thinking about putting the ho in the 86

swap the drivetrain into the '86 and then begin modding, consult my thread here:

also, be sure to swap over that sweeeeeett billet fuel door over from the '92

If it was me i would use whatever car is cleaner. for example, if the 86 had any kind of rust and the 92 didnt, i'd throw the 86 nose on the 92. and vice versa with the drivetrain situation

It's much more complicated than "throwing on a nose".

Thanks for posting the pics. I would definitely swap the drivetrain into the 86. Either way, best of luck.

I know alot of people that like the 86 front end alot more than the aero ones(including myself), but dont like the interior/moldings of the 4-eye cars. so its the best of both worlds really

Ed Zachary! I love the 4-eyes nose....but holy crap....The 4-eyes has the worst case of 80's dash I've ever seen! I HATE 80's dash.

/yes....I made 80's dash an ailment
//think of it like the Down Syndrome of car interiors

I would love to swap my aero to a four eye. Mostly because its a 4 cyl to 5.0 swap so it doesnt matter what i did to it. I voted dont even try to fix that wreck. swap into the 86.
