A TII dash panel?

Do you mean instrument cluster? There is really now way to tell, and it doesn't matter, About the only difference from an NA chasis, will be the differential. It has a 1" larger ring/pinion gear, and a beefier LSD.

Other than that as long as it has 4 pot front calipers, then the chasis will be the same.

And my TII has power windows.... Try to find some measurements off of the differential...

but it has power windows? i told him to check and see if it had the AAS, because the only cars with power windows from the factory in 88 were turbo and GXL...and ive seen spoilers on GXLs(not factory of course)

After this many years AAS could have been removed years ago. Before the riceboy he bought it from was even born. :p And like I said power windows can be installed into the car regardless of model. All you do is wire them into the cars harnesses or whatever you call them.
