Default New front clip for an 89 gt

I was wondering if anybody knew where I could possibly get a whole new front clip(fenders, hood, rad. support) for my 89 gt. This morning I had to swerve out of the way to avoid a truck coming down the road on the wrong side and this happened.

Do you have an LX front to trade for my gt stuff perhaps?

That sucks. Latemodelrestoration (50resto) has rad supports, fenders, front clips, bumper supports,ect. Junk yard would be cheaper on most of it though.

also check ebay, you can find fenders and the front bumper I know for sure for a decent price.

I'll most likely be looking for the rad support first, but this might just be the reason to swap on a 4 eye front end like I've been wanting to do.

I was gonna say, it would look a little weird with the ground effects and the 4 eye front bumper unless you get the 79 indy pace car front air dam. Thats what Im thinkin bout doing ony getting the saleen sideskirts and the indy front air dam. Its up to you, I just think it would look kinda funky. Definately post pics whichever way you go though. Good luck

Is it possible to remove the whole front clip at once? After tearing the car down I saw that the body took all the hit and the frame was fine. I've found a 4cyl notch at a freinds father's junk yard with everything I need minus the headlight. I'm going to give him 500 bucks for the whole car because there is a lot of odds and ends I could use off it. I was just wondering if there was a way to get the whole front off in one shot?
