Sorry, dus something wrong.
I need all the little components and plastic parts to repair my car. The wrecking yards don't have that. Now I am offered a still driving V6 for little money because of soms defect.

You're asking if your defected V6 parts will fit in your GT?
What parts do you need????
Pics may help some

As long as the problems with the V6 are not in areas you need parts from, you will be fine. Body panels are the same.

Front side damage. See the pics. Great to hear the body panels are the same.

I bought it like this. But that's very likely.
Just want to save this one. GT's are very rare here. It was just one year before imported from the US .

That's cool, I'm glad you're trying to save it.
Do you have any experience in fixing wrecked cars?
That was hit pretty hard. Does the driver's door still open and close?

I was educated as car mechanic over 30 years ago. Unfortunately bodywork was no part of that. A car restauration business is going to do the difficult work.
The damage seems to be all in front of the front axle. Doors open and close fine.

It looks like you're going to need new headlights :)

You're both right. I got replacements for the steel parts. Now looking for the plastic parts .

Yeah that car took a hard hit. That's what I was getting at earlier. I'd like to see some more pics of the damage. Can we see the frame rails?
Is there another part creased in the back of the car?

Is there anyway a body shop can pull the front of that clip over? The guy from "Graveyard Cars" always tries to save the original steel and only chucks stuff if it absolutely cannot be restored or saved

How much is the v6 car w/front clip going to cost you? Is it the better option?

Plus, I'm kinda becoming a 'thrifty' bastard these days... :D

it could probably be pulled/straightened, but no v6 parts will fit on that front end with out some work.
