From what I can tell, the cars are extremely similar, with a medium amount of effort you can swap the entire front end and the body lines work with the cabin/doors, so I'd assume that swapping the entire interior is possible, if not easy.

I know theres 2 or 3 of you guys out there that have done the front end conversion, and if you feel inclined to share the info/pics of the process with me that would so rock b/c i intend on joining your ranks with that specific mod. PM would be the best way to help unless you want the information readily available to the public .

The rear doors on the ES are different from the Cam's. The Camry doors have a frame around the top and a quarter window, the ES has frameless glass and no quarter windows. So the door panels MIGHT fit, but I'm pretty sure that the headliner and headliner trim will not. The dash and seats will probably work though.

One of my co-workers has an ES, I'll take a closer look for you next time I see him.
