Long time reader, finally joining as pieces are coming into play.
I'm sure many are going to give me a hard time over doing what I want to do, swapping a GSX into a Sebring LX. But I do have a reason behind it.
The Sebring is my wife's first car and wanting to have a car project that didn't involve needing it fixed yesterday, I wanted to be nice to the wife and restore her Sebring. She is very sentimental about it but it has been sitting for awhile now. Naturally my first instinct is to look up how to upgrade the car a bit. That is when the can of worms flew open and it is just all over the floor now.
If I'm doing to do it, I may as well go big I suppose. The first thing I wanted, besides the turbo of course, was converting her car into an AWD. This is the part that I feel will be most problematic, if not really impossible. The front end swap shouldn't be too big of a deal, I'm fine with wiring as well. I already know I'll have to deal with the length of the driveshaft but that shouldn't be too big of a deal.
Does anyone have any helpful tips, hints, suggestions about dropping the rear subframe of a GSX and putting it into a Sebring(or even Avenger)? What will be the most difficult part of it?
Thanks for any advice, advice other than "don't do it" that is I suppose. Again, this is a passion project for my wife. I'm lucky enough to have a wife that enjoys cars, especially fast cars. This is my golden ticket to be able to spend money on a car project and actually have the wife approve, so please, bare with me.
Thanks
