You will most likely need the wire harness and ECU from the donor car.

Well! Good for you!! You got it done, huh?
I can't wait to see it.

BTW: For simplicity and to keep all of this together, I combined your former and current "update" posts into one thread.

No problem.
Hey, so what have you done about the exhaust?
Is it standard shift, and did you have any trouble with pedals/clutch actuation hydraulics, etc?
