Re: DONOR CAR

Your going to get many people telling this as your answers will be well documented in these forums..use the search button and read the stickies!

But to put it simply..swap pretty much everything.

Engine/transmission/driveshaft/rearend
Engine/trans harness and ecu
Front brakes after modifying the 3rdgen spindles
Gas tank
Interior: dash/seats/steatbelts..some have done full 4thgen a/c swap also with firewall modifications

Get a pen and paper..read the stickies and make a list of the swap parts you need and then..start swapping parts. When you get far enough into the swap..then start asking specific questions.Even then..I promise the answer is already on here if you research a little further so dive in.
