I can tell you that a lot of the parts are interchangable, but, I don't really know which ones. I doubt the fenders would, the lights are possible, and the bumpers are anybody's guess. I have the 1G skirts on my 2G, and all the bolt holes lined up.
Retrofitting G2 Parts In To A G1
Hey I have a 1990 Taurus. When I was fooling around trying to put a different hoods on my 89 SHO i noticed that the hood from a 1992 had the same dimensions, bolt locations etc.
Keeping that in mind, remember that guy who had taken the g4 front sheet metal (hood, fenders) bumper and lights from a G4 and easily retrofitted it to his G3 Taurus, remember? the resulting look was phenomenal.
The verdict was the frame was identical/incredibly similar in the g3, g4 models.
What if Ford did the same thing on the G1/G2 model years? I never got a chance to try before my 1992 got towed to the wrecker.
But the G1, and G2 look quite similar, except for different sheet metal/trunk lid in the back, and the different hood and fenders lights etc in the front.
Would the front fenders, lights and bumper bolt up to a G1? Cuz that would be wicked, especially if the SHO header panel could be used.
