Stand by for lots of questions!!

First one: Since I'm going to cut this car into pieces, should I just go ahead and drop the motor and trans out the bottom?

#284763 that is the way i have always done all my swaps and since you have that ex i would go ahead and convert the hatch to power windows and locks

#284867 I dont think that I will use any of the power stuff. The cruise control is the only thing that I would like to use. But it looks like the st. wheel may be made differently for the add on CC buttons.

The console is black, and I dont want to deal with painting it.

The donor car was $965 + $75 towed home. I hope it's worth it...

#284871 nice pick up bro i would use everything off that coupe as possible :D
people pay $$ for power window and lock conversion it's more convenient too. Let me know if you would sell that console if you don't want it :thumb:
does it also have rear disk breaks or do you already have that on your hatch?

#284878 Definitely do the power conversion. Also, the cruise can be swapped over without the steering wheel. Have a look at my DIY page to see how it's done.

Front brakes on the coupe are no different from your hatch, unless the coupe had ABS. If it had ABS then the rears are disc. Otherwise it's plain old standard size disc and drum for both.

#284903 It asks for a password to view the DIY.

I should have said that the front knuckles are what I need.
