oOk since I can not afford to salvage the shelby charger, even tho its just the fender hood and front top part of the nose thats damaged.... I have decided to just try and use whatever I can on my xt. My question is what parts can I use for extra's on my laser... Or what will swap over other than engine and trans?
I have a bunch of new stuff on it So I would like to be able to put that to good use since the shelby might be crushed.... :sick: :( , Yeah I know it hurts trust me very bad... But its just not feasible for me at all right now.
here are the parts I am mainly thinking of. If there is any others you all can think of that will work that I missed just let me know, thanks

brand new tie rod ends both sides
brand new bushings, control arm, sway bar
wheel hub assembly new as well
radiator cap
165 degree t stat(180 maybe) i forgot..
and brand new cv axles(with lifetime warranty)
and the exhaust(catback) 2and a half inch
and thats all I can remember for now...
thanks in advance for all help

I think the only things you can use from the charger on the laser would be the motor, trans, and thats about it.i think everything else is pretty much not compatable with the G-body

i'd have to agree extreme on that one. the brakes and calipers might interchange, the exhaust is a little dif. don't try to use the hubs tho,they
are different. the rad. cap and t-stat will work. but the axles are l-body specific. daytonas are wider. now if you had a p,a,g,h, or even k body you'd
be in bussisness.
I dont think that is all what about tie rod end and wheel hub? they only have a few hundred miles if that on them and they cost me 90 bux and 45 bux so thats kinda a waste of money ...
If you wna try to use them go right ahead, im sure all the charger parts are diff lengths or sizes.
