Default Part compatibility between Coupe and Convertible?

I've been looking for a parts car for my V12 convertible and I have found a v12 coupe that has some parts I know I could use, but there are some things I'm not sure about. Such as the door panels, seats, ect. Are most of these parts compatible? Thanks

EDIT: I should also probably say mines a 92 and the coupe is an 86.

Default Re your post

You will run into many problems by the year difference.

1992 was the first year of the facelift and many body panels were different.

Also ignition systems and ABS were entirely different.

Look harder for a 1992 or later coupe.

Crazedlist.org is a good metasearch engine. I was able to find a match for my SO's black and tan '90 'vert down South. Too bad the seller's hiding behind his "brother"

Can anyone tell me why folks hide behind someone else to do their online selling when all they're doing is exposing the both of them to liability in case the sale goes wrong?

sorry I hit "send" too soon.

The seat design changed in 88. Also the 'vert doors are frameless. Driver airbags first came to the US on the 90 models. Also there are many upgrades to the facelift interior. There Are also changes in the ignition system.

Any others?

Am looking at several other "Listers" in the Midwest right now and will get in touch with you next week. FWIW did you take the spoiler off?
