Door Compatibility
I have a 2005 GT with a bent frame that's totaled (donor car), and I was wondering what parts (especially the doors, rims and tires, and seats), were compatible with my 1998 v6 convertible..

I moved your thread from the Forum Issues Section to the correct vintage V6 tech section. You'll get better answers about parts fitting your car in this section than the S197 (2005+) guys could tell you about your '98.
No, the doors are totally different and will not interchange. In terms of other parts, the first ones that come to mind are the wheels & tires. Assuming that your GT has 17x8" OEM wheels and tires, they have a different offset than the ones on your '98, but they will work. The S197 wheels will sit deeper in the wheelwells than your SN-95 wheels. The fronts will probably rub slightly when you chock the wheels, but not bad. S197 wheels in the rear will be fine, although they'll look 100% better if you buy wheel spacers like these from American Muscle. My son's '98 coupe has 17x8" Bullitts from a 2007 GT, and the spacers make it look great.
Other parts may work for you on your '98, and with enough time and money you can make almost anything fit (like that 4.6L-3v under the hood).
