Hi everybody,
I'm looking to improve the interior of my EA81 hatch before/as I convert it to electric, I've already got some parts ready to swap out like an uncracked dashboard and some new interior lights, but one main piece I'd like to take a look at is the shift lever (and seats too but I'm keeping my eyes peeled for some Escorts and Probes in the usual places).
For the most part it's fine but the (vinyl? pleather? I'm not sure) stock shifter boot is just torn to pieces and I'd like to just outright replace it. I've been eyeing up manual 3rd gens because of their relative plentifulness in my local junkyards, but it looks like their boots are a different design, more like the accordion boots out of early legacys or imprezas. Are they interchangeable into ea81 machines, or would I be better off looking elsewhere?
