Hi I am new to this forum, I currently own a 93 camry station wagon and I have been looking at the first gen avalon fronts to swap over on this car. I believe it would fit with minor work. The chassis are the same I believe. If anyones done this or can verify it does let me know. I am looking for the parts as well if youve seen an avalon at a junk yard let me know which one. I have only seen one but there were no panels.

Thanks for your time.

yes its possible to do it. my cousin had a friend who do stuff like that all the time. but you have to be very creative and you have to be very good with your hand. if you havent done any body work its not going to look right. you need to have the right tools too. i like the way you think, final product will look amazing. perfect example:

i think you misinterpreted the question. I understand you can do pretty much anything with time and money ect. I am trying to find out if the avalon parts will line up with the doors and the panels bolt on directly. The es300 are camrys but the doors wont line up because of the sill-less windows. But all the parts will bolt to the car. I was looking at the avalon and I noticed it has the same style doors and such. I am just wanting to bolt the parts on and go. Im sure there is a little omodification involved but I dont think itll be too much.

no it wouldnt be easy like that. the shape of body panels are different it defenetly needs some modifications. avalons are lightly bulky so it might bolt on but penels will stick out.

the headlights might not swap over so easily but the swap is possible. you'll need to strip the front of your car down and get a front clip from an avalon and do the same. then look for diferences and make it work. contact asg14 he has done a es300 front end swap( the right way not with a bodykit or half ass bondo)
