Transferring 06+ AP2 guts into another chassis
I recently got into an accident whereby my 09 GPW was declared a total loss. I'm looking to transfer the entire 'guts' of the car (everything besides the frame essentially) into a new chassis/shell. Would I need to find an 06+ AP2 or would an 04/05 also suffice? I know there are some differences such as the passenger floorboard, weight sensor for passenger seat airbag, etc. Would everything still port over correctly? I understand that an AP1 shell would be out of the question, since my subframe would likely not fit (please correct me if I'm wrong however). Thanks in advance

AP2 subframes also bolt into an AP1

I strongly suggest finding an 06-09 donor. Subframe will fit but that will be the least of your problems. The body is different in many spots, primarily the seats areas, and all vsa/brake/dbw component mounting points.

Thanks Billman - that's exactly what I needed to know
