Default 98 Mustang Parts on a 92?

I have a 92 lx 5.0. A friend has a 98 mustang 4.6 5spd, that got in a front end collision, and he would just give me parts. What parts would transfer over to the mustang? I was thinking the brakes, rear end possibly? I think it would be like 3/4" wider? correct me if im wrong. And i was going to use his bucket seats. Would all this work? And is there anything else i should grab before he scraps it?
Thanks
Nicholas

The front seats are a direct swap.The rear end is 3/4" wider on each side.The front brakes would be good for converting to 5 lug.

If you have time and the knowledge, you should do a 5 lug swap. And like he said, front seats a direct fit and easy to do. Depending on if they match your car.

Well im wanting to convert the old gray sh*tty looking ones to the black leather seats, and eventually transform the whole interior to black. Its what ive had in every other car, so why stop now. But with the rear end being wider, what size wheels should i go with so they dont stick out? Would i need anything else to convert to the 5 lug, or just use everything from the 98? Thanks for all the replies.
BTW does anyone know of a site or somewhere that would have a step by step process of doing the 5 lug conversion?
Thanks
Nicholas

If you use the 98 rear with discs you will need the master cylinder and lines off the 98 also.
