I have an 89 745T that I plan to keep for a few more years. I have the chance to buy a complete front end from a 945T for $600 plus my parts in trade. I can have the fenders and hood painted for the cost of the paint. Is it a worthwhile update? I have built a hotrodded 94 B230FT engine, done a lot of suspension work and also done some interior work to update the car already. As I understand the drag coefficient for a 745T was 0.39 and for a 945T it was 0.34 and for a late 965 or V90 it was 0.31. I would prefer a late 965 or V90 front end, but they are rare and expensive. The sideskirts I could probably find more easily and cheaply. Any thoughts?
