I have a 95 vic with a blown engine, I was wondering if there are any parts on a 95 vic I could use on an 85. Thanks for your time.

16" wheels would be nice to start. Seats could be made to fit with bracket work. Whole rear disk setup. Whole ABS setup iirc there is info on that here somewhere. Parts of front suspension could be used in support of front big brake swap.03 Marauder DPB, HS, 6disk, Organizer Mods> LED's in & Out, M&Z rear control arms, Oil deflector, U-Haul Trans Pan, Blue Fuzzy Dice

unfortunately this car has 15” wheels also but the rear does have disc brakes, thanks for the ideas.Comment

Id save the entire rear end with a bunch of the parking/e brake cables. You will get the benefit of the disc brakes as well as a wider rear end. Will make the rear of the 85 less goofy looking.~David~

If its does not have an aluminum one its is not even worth it. The short answer is yes with conversion u joints.~David~

+1 don't bother with the drive shaft unless it's aluminum. Jack and tire iron can be used if you want to ditch the bumper jack death trap. The radio might be able to swap over... though if the 85 is still common ground (5 wires for speakers), you'll have to run new wires to the speakers to use the newer radio.
Other than that, you'll need to modify things to use anything else.

This. I never even noticed how narrow box rear ends are until I started trolling this forum. Thanks to all you fuckers I can't NOT notice it now, every time I go and look at my Townie too.Originally posted by 87gtVIC View Post

under car frame supports. Assuming you don't have the smog tubes present. The under engine shield can be used with a little bit of modification as well.Comment
