Ok I dont know the specific details on the year models of the two cars I have(I forgot!). They are an hour away at my farm.

I have a good car with all good suspension and lots of good parts that looks like this

I also have a car that looks like this that is pretty much a shell. It doesnt have a hood, Front suspension except for a bare K member, Has no rear suspension. However it is a factory standard tranny car, I still have the Clutch Pedal parts

I would rather have the standard, The second cars body style, And would be willing to put the extra effort into it.

Main problem is title. I cant get the title to the first car, I have the title for the other one.

So how much of the first car can I use on the second car. Main two things I am concerned with is the Front suspension, and the windshield. Some parts such as torsion bars will be replaced with either car. The rear end doesnt matter but I would like to get as much of the rear suspension off the donor and use it on the other just to get it rolling.

I am not looking for a complete list, Just wondering how much will swap. I do want the larger bolt pattern and Disc brakes off the Donor car.

Is this even more than its worth.
The way I look at it is that it will give me more of a reason to go through the suspension and such to have a better car in the long run. Both cars are solid as far as rust and such is concerned.
Thanks
 
Welcome to FABO.

Front suspension, 4-speed stuff, all of the drivetrain stuff, pretty much everything will swap except pieces which are particular to each model, such as quarters, grills, fenders, hoods, doors, windows, bumpers, and trim.

Good luck with your project.
