    I just got a door maverick that is basically just a shell. I might be able to get a four door car as a donor car for some of the peices I am missing. I searched for what parts are interchangeable so I got a pretty good idea what will work and what will not. The only thing I could not find is if the the insides of the front door would be the same like the door latch and the lock parts. Also are the window track peices the same? I know the windows are a different size but was curious if I could use the tracks so then I would only need to find windows and door panels for it.
    Thank you

    The window tracks are to short for glass that fits a 2 door - latches, door handles and hinges are the same - front fenders, hood, and bumpers would be the same :)

    Some of the inside door hardware would be different because of the shorter door on a 4 door.
