96 doors with 88 door panels

my 88 drivers door has a small ding from my gf backing into my mirror just after i got this car a couple years ago long before i ever even got to drive it on the road and i got it pulled out the best i could so the mirror could be put back into place but the door has a kink in it.

I have doors from a 95/96 z26 the door panels and where the handles mount on the inside are different. can i put my door panels on these doors and put my window motors in for power windows without alot of trouble. i never had the panels off to see how the mounts are inside the doors..

My dash is also custom all fiberglass so i could even possibly modify the ends of my dash for these panels to work. the factory door panels are in nice shape though and would like to use them if i can swap everything over easy enough, i kind of like the arm rest on the older door panels then the newer ones too.

Yep you can swap everything over. Most of the stuff is rivited in though, so you will need a rivet gun.

You may need to drill a few new holes but its no biggie. Back when I was 16 I converted an 88 crank window door to 93 spec power window parts and panel. Should be doable.

It was a decade ago. Though I mentioned it that way to inflect upon the foolishness of the youngsters.
