You need fenders, hood, grille, headlights, parks, headlight mounting panels, bumper, bumper cap, valance, core support to grille cover panel deal, frame ends.

A new hood latch is nice but you dont 100% have to have it, its just a little harder to open the hood with the older style latch.

If you were closer we might beable to work out a deal..

The only thing that isnt bolt on is the front bumper. have to do a bit of custom bolting.

very easy swap, I just finished mine up, if you can turn a wrench you can do this swap, like otheres said you need to play with the front bumper mounts with some creative fabrication to get them to work.
