Body question -- 01 fender/bumper fit 97?

[dbell262]

I have a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer with damage to the driver's side front fender and front bumper cover.

There is a guy parting out a 2001 Mountaineer really near me. Will the 2001 body parts fit my 1997?

I know the headlamps and front grill are different, but the fender looks like a match.

The fender and bumper should work.

If you swap the 2001 header panel in, you will be able to use the 2001 headlights and grill.

I'm running a 2001 grill on my 97?
What do you mean?

98-01 mountaineer header panel is unique.
