98-01 part swapping

[Patty]

Does anyone have an idea where I can find a list of transferable parts from a 2001 pathy to a 98? I own a 98 and have found a good deal on a 01 parts vehicle. Things I would swap right away are: most of the exhaust system, CV axle, rear fenders, rims and the A/C. Thanks in advance for any input you may have.

Rims should swap over fine. I'd imagine the CV axle would too.

 

Exhaust & A/C may not due to engine differences.

 

Not sure about the fenders; due to the facelift that occurred in 2000 it might not have identical dimensions.

Forget anything engine related.

 

All body panels and trim also incompatible, save for maybe the doors and related trim, and all of the glass.

Why do you say the body panels?

I would think that the front fenders, hood, grill, lights, and bumpers would be somewhat compatible. Too bad you can't park next to one and pop the hoods to get a side-by-side comparison.

I have been wanting to do that, soooo bad!

I know the mechanicals are the same. I pulled the pass side LCA, rear anti-sway bar, muffler/tail pipe (from the cat back), and various interior trinkets from a '96. I joked with my buddies that I should round my '99.5 down to a '99 with all the parts I snagged off of the junker.
