Hi guys I know this a total newbie question here but I still have to ask it.
My son just bought his first car and he's just getting started doing the resto/upgrades that he wants to do. My question is this, how do we figure out which parts from other years/models will work on his car? I see a lot of modifications on CP and people taking parts from donor cars in JY's etc. and I am wondering how did you know to look @/take that part? Is there some sort of cross reference chart out there or is it for the most part acquired knowledge?
This question came up last night while we were looking at exterior body parts trying to figure out which bumpers would be a bolt on, which would require some modifications and which just flat wouldn't fit. But I am sure we will keep bumping into this topic when it comes to suspension upgrades and more than likely an eventual motor swap.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
