i found a wrecked 98 base model cavalier. what parts can i use in my car?

they are both coupes, 2200 motor, auto trans.

yes you can use the hvac panel
most other parts are interchangeable too.

you can use just about anything as long as you take the right parts with it. ie the motor can be used but you will need to use the wiring harness with it since it changed from 99 to 00

Your not changing the HVAC panel because the blower speeds arent there are you?
If so thats not what breaks, its the speed resistor, right by the blower motor.

yep lots of stuff is the same, aside from the electrical system which is a little diffferent.

i think the transmissions are different, the 00's had auto 4speeds with electronic shift and the 98 has a 3 speed mechanical shift.
Motors are a little different, 98 has a knock sensor and an EGR valve and the 00 does not. plus some other stuff.
Fenders are different but can be modified to work, hoods are diffferent, bumpers, lights, all different.
Clusters are different, I believe the radio in the 00 has a serial data line in it, so I dont think you can swap them.
HVAC panels are same ,dash pad, seats glass, doors, trunk lid. and so on.
This could go on and on.

hoods are the same, the headlights just go farther down into the front bumper on the 2000-'02, fenders are the same, the taillights are interchangable, the front headlights can be swapped if you swap front bumpers also, and do a little wiring. But the 2000-2002 healights are better cuz only got one bulb instead of two, like on the pre 2000's that have seperate brights and low beam bulbs. rear bumpers are the same, side skirts the same. thats all i got for now!
