84 Delta 88 Royale

Hey guys I just pocked up a Delta 88 that's rough on the outside but has an amazing quality interior. Both fenders have damage and I would rathe replace than repair. Question I have is will caprice fenders and doors fit if I change the grill assembly as well? Reason I ask is I can't seem to find any Delta 88 1984 fenders anywhere...

Thanks !!!

In just an hour or so I've already found new grill halves and the head light bezel with the marker. I'm pretty sure I can fiber glass patch the header back together. It just broke in big pieces and I maybe only need a passenger fender. The drivers side I may beable to straighten, just a big impact dent in the front edge below the body line. Passanger side is crinkled at the top of the wheel well through the body line. I also need the chrome wheel well trim for the Passanger side.

I have a whole front clip here except for inner fenders.
Problem with these cars is, once you've bought nice fenders and paid to ship and paint them, you could have just bought another whole car for the same price. How do you think I got into this swirling toilet of delta parts?

Pulled a bumper shock out of an 86 Impala in the junkyard. Took an hour, just to find out it doesn't fit a Delta 88

WTF??? They are both B Bodies

That changes things in your favor a great deal. I'm about 30 miles south of you In Lisle/Woodridge area.

The front sheetmetal from any 1980-1984 Olds Ninety Eight or any 1980-1985 Olds Eighty Eight will interchange. Note that the front fenders on the same year Custom Cruiser wagons are NOT the same and will not match the body lines. The wagons use the same doors as the Chevy wagons, which have different feature lines than do the sedans. The sedan doors are different from the Chevy parts.

@j

Excelent, then before I pick up these few parts on eBay, let me know what the Cost would be.

Thanks !!
