Default What parts are the same for '78 and '95?

Jim B. brought up an interesting question - What parts are the same for '78 and '95 928's? Some that come to mind are possibly the AC expansion valve, sun visor clips, ignition switch, some relays, coolant reservoir cap.

ok..let see...some wild a$$ guesses....rear hatch...door glass...rear hatch glass, outer door handle, lug nuts, window switches, sunroof panel (if the 78 came with them?), door map pockets?

There must be more.but yes...not as easy as it sounds...

edited in.... front and rear side marker lights (US style of course), that chunk of wood covering the fuse panel? side console panels?

more edited in:...how about the rear seat backs?...I know they moved the release from outboard to inboard after 87.but are they moveable side to side.

How did i do?..
Later,
Tom

Power locks work much faster on later model cars, I think those parts are different.

What about the hot water valve for the HVAC?

Here's some differences: in the '95 the driver is younger and drives faster, and the passenger has bigger fake *****!! The grin on the driver is the same.
