Hi Guys,

I own a 97 TE Altera Sedan (3.0L) and have had damage the to passenger guard/fender, door and front bumper. I have been offered a non running 1997 Verada complete for $400 with all these parts in excellents condition as well as sone alloys to replace my steelies.

As far as I am aware, the verada is a 3.5L model....

Will the Verada body panels fit my Altera without hassel??

Thanks for your time in reading this :)

Yes :)

Yes :)

Yes from me too.

Also, everything else could be swapped over too. Interior, power windows, (if yours didn't), parras, looms, engine, trans, ECU, etc, etc. perfect chance to upgrade nearly everything in your car - if you've got the time & patience.

Good ideas, but he'd be putting a 3l into a 3.5l car. Step backwards perhaps?

He isn't losing much! (A proud owner of the slightly slower 3.0).

And anyways. Going fast only gets you in trouble. Fun trouble.
