I just wrecked the Front End (Both Fenders, Grill, Hood, etc) I found a 1996 850 which was totaled in the rear end. Are the '95 & '96 body parts interchangable? Can you pull the whole Front End off in one piece?

1995 850

    Yes, totally interchangeable. No to your second question. The front fenders have a bolt near the bottom by the front door, open the door for access.

    Good luck,

      Well opted for the total loss but have an opportunity to buy it back for 200 bucks. I found a '97 that I'm picking up Monday so I thought I'd part out the '95 850, but first keep it around till I know the '97 is trouble-free. I got the '97 from a dealer on ebay who does not know any history. CarFax tells me it was a 2 owner and it has 170k on it.... But, do to time constrants I am buying this thing sight on seen for 1500 bucks with no "reported" problems from the dealer.

      For the most part is everything interchangable still from the '95 to '97???

        A $200 parts car? That's a great deal! Yes, the parts are interchangeable. Have fun!!!

            If the engine and tranny are still good, the front doors are unscathed, and the suspension straight, I would imagine at least $600 - $800 at a salvage yard.

            Parting it yourself would net you more, but that is a lot of work on your part.

            Tell the salvage yard that you want the wheels back, they would make great winter tire swaps.

      Sorry for your loss.
      You might have to check for frame damage and definitely alignment after body work
      Good Luck
