Will an 87 TC header panel interchange to a standard 87 Bird without having to change anything else?

Rdog used one on his son's car.
He attached a picture midway down this thread.

Yes,it's a direct swap.I installed one on my '88 Sport,then the hood,then the bumper cover.I didn't want the TC hood,because the scoops are useless on my car ,but for $35.00,and me needing a hood,I took it.The bumper cover was also installed as the Sport's was ripped bad.Well,everything that can be bolted on to this car has been swapped actually.Here's a pic......'88 Sport, TC front end pieces.....

Vinnie, thanks for the response. I have one for sale and someone with your same situation asked me about it. Your car looks great!

Vinnie, It's not a color I would have picked out but everytime I see your car I like the paint more and more. Great looking!

Thanks.It looks better in person.My wife picked it out.I didn't want a factory color,and I didn't want a color I see on a lot of other Birds.It has a great metal flake to it. The old Sport has come a long way from her "almost crushed" salvage yard days.If I were two days later getting the car,it would've been a set of pots and pans by now.

I agree it looks better in person. The color pops more in the sun. I think it will look even better with the header panel you bought!!!

Z......I'm taking it down next week for paint......finally !!! It's been crazy around here.Funds for the Sport are depleted almost before I get them.LOL.I'll probably drop the panel off on Tuesday evening so it'll be ready by the end of the week.I'm also trying to gather the very few remaining pieces for the a/c (belt and condenser.....then the pro to make it cold). I HAVE to get that system together and operating. I don't have to tell you about the heat we get,you get the same stuff.....people walking the streets spontaneously combusting.LOL.
Hope to see you on 9-11
