Sure, it can and has been done. Not a simple bolt on project though the
bodies are about 99% the same. The front crossmember for the steering
rack, the tranny nose mounts, and the Syncro fuel tank are the hard
parts. Best to have the 2 bodies elevated side by side so you can see
the differences and measure things for adaptation.

Cancer has claimed a good portion of the trunk are and it looks like much body work for me. The front passenger CV's are making a crunchy sound and there seems to be an impacted creese at the center of the frame where the control armas attach to the frame. I can not get the Syncro out of my head because of how smoot it went truw the gears and how easily it started and ran with out hesitation......
