Interior swap between Prizm and Corolla

Hi,

I'd like to get better interior/upholstery for my '94 Prizm. Can someone list what interior items will swap between the Prizm and Corolla? Door trim, rear seat, dash? I keep reading the dash will not swap. Are there major physical differences here?

Thanks

Most of the interior is a direct swap, but swapping the dash requires reworking the A/C controls and you'll need the other car's gauge cluster.

Odd, besides the dash and seats my Prizm's interior is pretty similar to a Corolla, and I actually thought the Prizm interior was more 'timeless' compared the hard angles in the Corolla.

Thanks iToaster. So the mounting points for the dash should be the same?
I'm looking out for one at a yard where I can grab the complete set...
Door panels, front seats, rear seat, pillar moldings, dash, and carpet if possible. Don't want a mismatched interior

All the mounting points are the same. Most of the interior is really pretty similar, if not the same thing, the dash is the only major visual difference aside from little things like seat fabric.

Well, since the car already doesn't have a/c, the controls won't matter much. Also, my gauge cluster doesn't work (except the gas and temp). I saw another thread about taking the gauge out and checking the back of it (perhaps the connectors need to be resoldered).

Hmm... now that I think about it, if I'm going to install an a/c unit and repair (or replace) the gauge cluster, now's the time to do it.
