Default es 250/300 Compatibility questions

I'm new here, so please forgive me if these questions have already been answered elsewhere. My daily driver is a '93 es300. I picked up a '96 es 300 as a parts car and have already scrounged enough off of it to pay for the $800 I spent. But, I still have a great engine and tranny in it. I just came across a nice looking '91 es 250 with a blown transmission.

Can I swap the '96 engine and tranny into the '91? Is it a straight swap or will a lot of mods be needed to make it work? Also, the es250 will need some parts. Anyone parting out a 250? From what I can see, a driver's side tail light, some interior bits and pieces, front seats and I'm sure there's more.

I also have three very nice factory chrome rims on the '96 that I assume I can use on the 250. One is badly bent. Anyone have one they want to sell? I can take a picture of mine and email it to you. Or, if you already have a pic of yours, please let me know.

Thanks,
Noel

Default do you have CD magazine, and others?

Do you still have the CD magazine, window regulators, washer fluid reservoir ( it's the large plastic on the left side of the engine when facing it). Let me know.

You know, I don't know. I assume you're talking about the '96, right? I pulled the parts I needed and didn't even look to see what else was useable. I don't have a lot of time to mess around with parting it out, but I'll see if the parts you are looking for are there. Noel

I haven't bought it yet, so I'm not sure. But if I do, I'd be interested in a driver's side tail light and front leather seats (gray). If you have those and have some pics, send those with prices and if I get it I'll let you know.

Thanks,
Noel

As long as the tail light is undamaged, I don't need to see a picture of that. I might be interested in the interior, but it'd probably be a lot to ship it all the way across the country. Send me some pics of the interior and prices and I'll let you know.

Thanks,
Noel

Would you be interested in the cd player or any other part that you might want pics of?

I decided this project was just too much work, so have abandoned it. Thanks to all who have replied.
