Pros & Cons between using a Fiero or MR2 for an OEM Murci Build?

<< < (3/3)

LamboJayso:
What are the pros & cons between using a Fiero or MR2 for an OEM Murci build? Both donor cars will have to be stretched inside the cabin. Below are some of the pros & cons I can think of for either cars. Anyone else feel free to chime in:
Fiero:
Pro: E-brake already in OEM Murci location & does not need to be extended
Pro: No line extention needed after the stretch for an automatic (on the manuals the shifter & selector cables need to be extended)
Con: Hasn't been done before so no references to confirm dash alignment in relation to doors & seating
Con: Weaky cabin & floor pans overall
Con: Possible fuel tank interference underneath the cabin or relocation needed?

MR2:
Pro: It has already been done by Extreme overseas (dash alignment in relation to doors & seating seems fine)
Pro: MR2's are generally stretched inside the cabin anyhow for Murci builds (so its proven in that regard)
Con: Lines have to be stretched for both automatic and manual (not sure which ones, maybe "MDMurcy" can chime in here)
Con: E-brake not in OEM Murci location
