Pretty sure it all bolts up. If the core supports are the same then definitely

biggest issue is the headlight buckets

im pretty sure you need to swap core supports to get it to fit correctly.

is this the same as an 88 to 91 swap?

ive decieded to save my b2 and im putting a 91 front end on
i want to just swap the rad support and sheetmetal do i have to pull my fenderwells?

the doors arnt different?? im thinkin there more square on a 89'-up, which means 89' fenders wouldnt work with the 88- earlier doors..

change out the core suport its easier in the long run... the fenders will fit exactly the same around the doors. honestly probably a days worth of work

it took me about 4 hours from start to finish but i didn't change the core support. it does need modded for the headlights and the wires need switched as the plugins are different.
