Caprice + g8 front clip!

Post by sacsrpc »

How was the process? All the holes line up or did you have to massage things?

Thanks for resizing that.

Yep, I picked up the car as an accident vehicle...my best guess is that the car had a light front bump and was then canibalized for front end body parts.

Everything bolted right up. The only thing which was different were the mounts for the radiator and front airbag sensors (using the g8 radiator core support)....all other bolts lined right up.

Looks good! Now, that will really add to the confusion when you explain what the car is.
Nice job and way to go to keep a car alive!

Indeed. A G8 with some weird tail lights! :lol:

Now drop the suspension about an inch, and it'll look pretty right.
