Heres the deal.I'm Scraping the 93 Coupe (prev auto SR to manual conversion) project that I was Preparing and instead going w/ another Hatch.going to see it this weekend.

hatch is a 1990 no pwr,no Sun ($200) - I'm sure was SOHC and an Autotragic Also.There is NO CHASSIS harness in the engine from Prev owner.

Can I just swap my 93 Chassis Harness,Relay boxes (engine area,headlights etc) into this hatch? Everything should be the same Correct?
I also may go as far as swapping the Full Interior Dash harness into the New 90' Dash Wiring to Retain Consult and everything Needed to use that.

Or is that overboard??or Keep the 90' Interior wiring intact. (if its there together)

_____heres some other items I may swap______
- Pwr Steering rack the same as the DOHC w/ just a diff pressure Line correct? Should I swap my 93 Rack Also??

I may just turn this 90' Inot a 93', but just need some insight on some of you tha thave removed FULL INteriors and Chassis harness'.Don't wanna do what isn't needed,..but gotta make sure the car RUNS when I get it all back together.

i've done that, when i got my 90 cp. it had no chassis harness, and i got a COMPLETE chassis harness from a 93 at a scrap yard. (every wire from headlight to tail light)
there "may" be some minor differences between cp and hatch, but i doubt it would be anything that you couldnt make work.

Guy said that the interior wiring is there (carpet,etc) though the dash pad is missing and for some reason he didn't even KNOW if there was wiring for the dash or not.
I think he knows nothing about the car and was 1 of those "wannabe" build a "400hp" car guy.Said he was dropping a VG motor in there - thats why the Harness is gone.:rolleyes:

I will Prob try to use just the Front chassis harness and maybe switch over some dash stuff If thats possible.
Leaving the Rear Taillights and Stuff intact.
I would like it Streetable even though its pretty much gonna be a track car.otherwise as long as the lights worked and engine ran I'd be fine. + I'd like Heat only

If its a SOHC,...the Wiring needs to be swapped to DOHC anyway for SR Correct (cluster diffrences between the DOHC and SOHC)
