Default Gc8 diffrences

Hi guys i brought a gc8 its a little rough around the edges but its a solid project start.

its a 97 gc8 but it has all the older gc8 interior twin spot brakes etc
but has airbag all the tags say its a wrx but im more of a liberty person,i never realy looked in to gc8 specs.also has older style grill

now im asking this because my self and partner wont to spend a bit on this car and make it mint

will my 98 on stuff fit on this i mean interior like dash etc i know the seats will and also what about body panels etc what is or isnt intechangable

we have been told by a wrecker its all tha same but im just wary he is trying to get us to buy what he has.

what we wont to do is buy a pretty spec up race rally in mint condition, type car less engine or box or something along them lines rather than buy lots of little bits,i reckon it will end up cheeper in the long run .


any advise would be greatly appreciated

All the panels lights etc will be a direct fit but if you do the dash there is a bit involved and you need to change your door cards also because they don't match up with the dash, been done plenty of times before though.

To change the dash, the easiest way is to get hold of a my98 wiring loom and swap that in. Bit of a mission to find one. The tabs on the firewall are in different spots and the steering column is a different diameter.

What you want to do, or what you won't do? It's really hard to take you seriously.

He means, do you mean to say won't or want in your original post?

Just gives it a couple of different ways to interpret what you won't want.

Well Kato is right on that point in particular, but the complete lack of structure in any of your posts makes it feel more like I'm listening to the rantings of a crazy person and not reading anything with any value. I'm not going to be a nazi about grammar or spelling or anything, but the complete lack of punctuation regarding where a sentence finishes and where the next one begins is just exasperating to read, and reminds me of school holidays on the forums. And that is why I can't take your posts seriously.

The end.
