Should be straightforward enough, they are basically the same car aren't they bar a few styling tweaks?

Your best bet would be to buy a cheap rotten FRST and then you have everything you need to transfer over. I think you will be surprised how many nuts/bolts/clips/fixings etc you will need from a donor car!
