Default Daughter wrecked her 89, what parts will fit?

Hi guys,
My daughter wrecked her 89 n/a yesterday so I'm trying to figure out if its worth putting it back together or parting it. She hit a fire hydrant and mangled the right front suspension pretty good.

It's an 89, 2.7 n/a, can you tell me what years suspension and body parts will fit this car? Thanks!

Everything suspension wise (shocks, rack/tie rod ends, spindles, control arms, etc) is the same from 87+ n/a. The right fender is the same for every year just like the bumper and front spoiler/airdam from 83+ 2.5L n/a.

But if you do decide to part it that 2.7l head is a rare commodity for those wishing to do a 3.0l build!

My PO hit a dog that appeared to only have cracked the valence.

A fog light,
6 ball joints,
2-3 upper strut mounts,
2 control arms,
2 castor blocks,
1 PS pump rebuild,
and one RADIATOR later, I realize that hitting something messes up a lot of stuff, even if it's just a dog. A fire hydrant? I mean I'd have to see pictures but I think I would find another 944.

Good looking car Roger, the script really ties the 5-spokes, nice balance.

Thanks, appreciate that. Just put it on. One of the guys on the 993 board put the script on his Arena Red wide-body along with an RS duck tail and I fell in love with the look. So far have been really pleased with it and the comments have been very positive from other pcar owners.
