Default 1985 front end body question

Well my friend just gave me a 1985 mustang and the front end is in pretty rough shape, i was wondering if it was just the body then i can replace it - but what if the frame is just a little dented ? would it be worth fixing up ? i mean .. . the car was free and the engine and tranny all work and it starts -- it just needs some front end work which i believe is just the body.

If its just the body does anyone know someplace I could pick up some body pieces at ? and would a 1990 mustang body parts fit ? i like the look of the front end of the 1990's

I could try and get pictures but its kind of burried in snow ... but i will dig it out if u want to see pictures.

it is cheaper and easier to stay with the '85, plus you are not going to have to re-wire your car, get a new hood, rear bumper cover, side skirts, door mouldings, spoiler.........

ok .... so even if the frame is a little dented its still worth fixing up? as long as its not like rusted away or cut away, correct ?

Default Parts!

My boys and I have a 1985 GT parts car and might be able to help.
Located in Mandan North Dakota, but I'll work with you to ship as cheap as possible if you, or anyone else is interested.

Shoot me an email with parts you need.

Thanks!
Grant
