HI Roger,
Are you buying or selling the seats, etc?

" I'm interested if the following items to be fitted into my car.

I don't think he's selling, he wants to swap into his car.

Roger,

I just looked up the Vin on the 3 and it shows an auto, was
a 5 speed swap done on this car--had to be if the picture is of that 3.

I don't think the tranny will fit according to REALOEM, look @ the bottom line in REALOEM for compatibility.

Just look up a part and click on the part # until you see the compatibility page.

Bob, I should had mentioned I had checked real oem before my first post and came to the same conclusion, I should have stated I was looking for confirmation. A few items would transfer, gear shift, pedal box.

Ken, front seats go to my car. I assume you're still in Fl. We were in FL mid March, my wife became ill, I drove from Palm Beach straight through to Asheville, 15 hrs, at the age of 74 this was a push. My wife was test for Covid-19 the next day, results positive, they wouldn't test me as I have no symptoms. She's fine, been in the house since March 16th. In the county we live in 41 confirmed cases and 3 deaths.

Thanks, Roger

Roger,
Yes, we're still in Boynton and luckily no symptoms so no tests. We may head back at the end of May but time will tell.

You were smart to get back home as Palm Beach County has 2088 cases as of today. While hospitals have capacity, treatment is "wait and pray" with supplemental O2.

I hope your wife is feeling better and that you won't become infected. One theory on why flu and other viruses recede in summer is an elevated vitamin D level from more sunlight (at least for us Yankees.) So pop those vitamins.

Sorry I misread your post. Is this the last phase or is there engine work ahead.
Still thinking about those bisquits.
Ken
