i believe if you get a manual console it wont be as hard as putting it in an automatic car. dont quote me on that but i am pretty sure.

they are almost teh same car with a diff front suspension, tweaked floorpan, and diff body panels.



id say about 80% of the car could transfer over if you wanted it to.
