You can but it isn't as simple as just the nose, the fender spats would have to be changed, wiring for the lights, and a few other things as well. You'd definitely need a new hood, to match the aero nose.

It would be easier and cheaper to just buy the car you really want, and sell the '85 to someone whom appreciates it for what it is.

i agree with above....

i'd keep it the way it is or sell it to someone that would appreciate it

clean four-eyed cars are growing more rare everyday....

I have to agree as well, the 4 eyes are getting harder to find while the 87-93 can be found really easily. But it's your car, you can do this if you want.
