Default what transfers from es to sc

I am trying to figure out what parts transfer from a 97 es300 to a 93 sc400. I have an sc and found a cheap es that I can take parts off of if I act quick so im trying to determine if I can get the instrument cluster, wheels and tires and front seats. At least. If not power steering pump as well.

Wheels and tires IMO are prolly too small, Front seats you could rig to work im sure but why??? theres nothing really from an es300 id want to put on my sc. And no the power steering pump wont work.

not even close to any of the parts fitting. at least on a gs300 or 400 you can use engine parts like the pump on an sc300 or 400 respectively, but an es is a v6 camry motor not even close to compatible with either of those.

The fogs retrofit to our bumper lights if you switch out to a 97+sc front bumper.
But I recommend not to buy it unless you fix that one up into running condition aswell

the ES was the entry level
SC GS and LS all share many power train parts
quite honestly Lexus should have just kept the brand RWD...

The CD changer, wheels, steering wheel, and maybe the muffler will transfer over.

92-94 ES300 were the only model equipped with yellow projector fogs.

Ok, I was only checking because its an auction car at the dealership I work at so I can take any parts I want from it. Figured they could sit in the garage as backups. Just wanted to figure out if any of it was even compatible before I bothered. This sc is my first non gm car and obviously my first lexus so im still learning about the brand. I will say I love my sc though and have no plans on parting with it. Its 200k miles and has its problems but they are all fixable and worth it to me to keep this car. Thank you guys for the info
