Today on the way to work I saw what I thought was a white spirit coming the other direction. Once I got close I instantly saw that it was a 2 door duster with a spirit front end. I couldnt turn around and chase them down but has anyone ever heard of it here? Me and my roomate held some spirit r/t fenders up to my shadow and they looked really close almost an exact fit but mine is a 90 so the front is a little different anyway. I wonder if on a 91+ shadow it would work?

wouldn't surprise me if it bolted up, but the body line might need some tweeking.

There was a thread posted about this not long ago, w/ pics. In fact, I think the one in the pics was white also.

Probably not. Both the Spirit and the Shadow were based of the K-car platform; the G-bodies were not, if I recall.

G body uses a nose cone vs a conventional fender, bumper and grille arrangement like a P body. Not so sure about that working out.

We have already experienced the Daytegra.... who would even consider a Shadow with Daytona front end? :eek:

MPGMike was working on a ramona. rampage with a tona front end
mix and matching dodge parts comes nowhere close to the horrors of the gaytona

I think putting a Daytona front end on anything other than a Daytona is heinous lol... :yuck:

Just some old lady that drives it, Not a clue what it was and thought it was normal.
The car was just a duster but it had the spirit front. I dont think it looks bad at all.

I wonder how hard it would be to do a tona front end on a spirit? I have access to 2 tonas that are being parted...

For all these floating around, I wonder if Chrysler didn't build them themselves. I'd love to take a closer look under the hood of one and see how modified it looks. It would not be the first time Chrysler did something like this.
Or, a spirit clip is a 100% bolt on affair. Which I doubt, but its the only thing that makes any sense.

I am thinking that the spirit is a bolt on affair, when you look under the hood of a spirit there is that big gap between the rad support and the grille. The shadow there isnt as much of a gap there. I have heard of people putting spirit dashes in shadows too.
Me and roomate want to build a 2 door mini spirit R/T lol.
I want to build an 87 csx'd spirit!
Just need that semi-rare front clip... 89+ shadows are ugly to me.

Really kicking my self for sending that 89 spirit ES to the wreckers now.
if it had es groundies on it i will help kick you too :p

08-10-2010, 09:29 PM
It did. 3.0/604 car. I tried to sell the ground effects, and no one really wanted them. This was at LEAST 5 years ago thou.
Eh, i know how that not able to sell things problem is. We's a two-faced community about such things, fo sho.
Anyway, anybody in S. Texas wanna trade parts for an 87-88 pbody front end? :D

When you find a 2nd one send it up here to me. I've wanted to put the 87-88 front end on my 94 in the worst way after the first time seeing one.

Hey Vigo.... I've junked one of those too...
:lol: Well ive junked 2 rust free daytonas, 2 rust free 89+ shadows, several rust free caravans, and did i mention a vnt daytona might get parted here soon? Let's see how many people's dreams we can recycle :eyebrows:
