You'll be changing the whole front including rad support. Better to sell the car and buy a later model... Unless its supplied all free

I am pretty sure you do not need to swap the radiator support if you do 2 things. Tap and drill holes for the new bolt locations, and I believe there is some slight trimming that needs to be done to the radiator support. IMO thats a hell of a lot easier than swapping the support assembly. Obviously you will need a new hood and lights.

just to double check before i start runnin around looking, if i find a 94 with good front end i just need to salvage the radiator support and headlights/headlight buckets?

you only need the headlight buckets. most ppl do the rad support too because its easier to install all 3 pieces instead of cut out just the buckets.

Well that was my point anyhow... You'll need bonnet headlights and bar as well but if you have the time and knowledge to do this job it would be worth your time and money...
