thatdirtykid Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Will a grill off a 90 loyale fit an 85 GL? I don't see why not, but I have not looked at a 90 up close to see if the mounting points will line up the same. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 No - not quite correctly. The mounting is different on the headlight buckets. You would have to use the Loyale headlight buckets. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only differences in grille mounting that I was aware of was the 3-door vs. sedan/wagon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obk25xt Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Really? Yeah.... Earlier ones (waffle grill) mount to the buckets and a vertical support in the center of the grill with screws.... Like GD says. Later ones (loyale style) mount with pins that drop into holes on the trim between the bumper and the grill/headlights, and quick rivets into holes in tabs on the radiator support.

thatdirtykid Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Cool thanks for the replies. I may just end up fabricating something with expanded metal or something. Not in any hurry though. There are uglier parts of my car. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I have a grille here off an '85 GL. Need a grille to fit my '88 GL. Want to trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatdirtykid Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 I will try to get a hold of the guy with the loyale grill and see how much he wants for it. If I can get it cheap I would love to trade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I'll try to get a pic of it, have to borrow a camera. It's in good condition, but has been painted Yellow. I could squirt some Black on it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatdirtykid Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 He got back to me, it turns out his car was a sedan and he wants a decent chunk of cash for it. Probably not worth the hour drive for me to pick up just to trade. How much would you want for yours shipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
