Something crazy and stupid I want to do
if you changed the doors along with the front clip, then youll also need to change the rear quarter panels, bumper, hatch, etc.
you would end up with a WHOLE lot of money invested in a car you may never be able to sell since nobody would believe the title or think its fishy.

if the quarter panels are the same, then you would need doors, hatch, front fenders, front/rear bumpers, hood etc etc. The question is are the rear quarter panels the same...they might be...
Read location. This isnt the US. Ive only seen mabey 2 93-97 firebirds, 2 98+ T/A's and one 98 formula the 2+ years Ive been on this island.
2500 for the roller and then another 1-2k to ship it?

The ENTIRE car will, essentially, have to be re-skinned. NONE of the body lines on the sides line up. The Firebird has pop-up headlights, so their mechanisms, and wiring, will have to be installed. The rear quarters and tail lights are very different. The rear body portion on the hatch is different, that will have to be changed.
Could it be done? Sure, how rich are you? How much patience do you have? how talented are you mechanically?

What sarcasm. Most people made assumptions without completly reading my post or taking into account my situation. Anyways it's just another one of my wild ideas that pop up when I'm bored. I'm sure next week Ill want to change it into a Echo or something.

This is a website with a how to on how to convert a 93-98 but it does have part list on it for brackets
Everything would indeed be possible..
Rear bumper,hatch, doors, front fenders, front bumper, hood. Rear side panels MAY match up but Maybe not..

The more I think about it the more I see it would be hell trying to do it at my current location. If I was in the states I could do it alot easier.
