Frontend swaps?

My girlfriend is selling her 93 sedan. This guy has a 93 geo prizim. Hers is wrecked in front, and his is wrecked in the rear... so can he take his frontend and put it on her corolla? I'd love to sell this pile, and I think this may be the only way to get rid of it. please help.
Thanks
-Adam

They were made at the same plant...the only differences that I'm aware of are minor nits like the dashboard, radio/HVAC stack, and intake manifolds (Chevy used the JDM version). Parts interchange, but that said I don't think anybody's tried an entire front-end swap before. It's certainly worth a shot, if you can get her Corolla fixed up you can probably flog it for 3K+.

Give it a try, see if it fits.. if it does then you could probably sell the car as a Corolla with a JDM-type front end conversion.

no.... the parts will bolt up, but the body panels and lines are completely different.... i don't even know if the lines are close enough to have the corolla fenders on it and the prizm doors open/close....
