can i use standard 2005 lancer body parts for EVO 8?

Hello all ,
I have eight generation Mitsubishi EVO unfortunately I had an accident and almost all front body is damaged. Since its very hard to get EVO parts down here, can I use the normal Mitsubishi’s fenders, cross member, chassis radiator etc….?

Please any advice would be appreciated!

No you cannot, since everything is completely different from a evo to a lancer.

By standard, I'm assuming you mean ES. The answer is no because almost all the parts are different. Fenders, Front Bumper, Headlight, they are all different.

Rear doors are different. Fronts are the same.
