Exclamation Can I do this??

Hey guyz, my main concern is that I have an 88 SE, and my friend has an 89 gxl, he is selling for $200 dollarz! The body is rusting, but the only thing missing is the fuel tank. It has complete the engine, 5-spd tranny-everything! I was wondering if parts like the radiator, cooler lines, and
rear lights will fit on the 88 SE? Thanx for any help you can provide! Any ideas??

It can be done if you swap out the waterpump housing, but why bother? unless your s4 raad is so bunged up its worthless. But can you swap rad for rad.. NO

Hey 83RX, this car you are gettin, does it still have interior?
If tthe interior is black then I might buy the doors and door panels from you, I want to upgrade to GXL power options.

Sorry that I don't have much info on the swap but you might be able get that $200 back from the doors

Sorry man, the interior is blue, and in pretty good condition. If there are any parts of interest, just let me know.
