Well, I need two new bumpers, and a fender. I was thinking, while I was at it I might as well get the other fender, headlights, and hood and get them from a 99.5 R50. To me this would make my ride a little better lookin. Will this stuff just hook right up or will I need to grab the bumper supports etc etc to get this going?

For the price your gonna pay for all those parts plus painting, you might as well put a down payment on a 99.5+ R50, IMHO...OR go all out and get into a VQ powered 01+, just my thought :aok:

For the price your gonna pay for all those parts plus painting, you might as well have a custom fabricator build you a one-off TJM-look-alike winch bumper.

 

(Certainly going to be much cheaper in the long run than having higher car payments again).

well, I bought this thing super cheap knowing that it needed body work. So I can do the 99.5 conversion, fix the dents elsewhere, replace the interior, paint the whole thing, and still not have paid as much as a regular 98. I like to buy fixer uppers.
