What years/model body compatiable with 88 convertible?

I wrecked the front end of my 88 convertible. I need to know which other years and models will work for replacement body parts, ie., fender, hood, bumper, headlight, etc. Can anyone help?

The fenders, head lights, hoods, bumper on the convertible are all the same as the other 86-88 models, however the hood on a convertible is normally aluminum which is fairly rare, so you may end up having to use a steel hood which weighs 20lbs more.

The front cross member structure and frame structure as well as the front suspension sub frame are all different though and only swappable with a 88-92 convertible.
