The shell hasn't changed so what may stop this ?

Looking for a nice clean and straight LHD Jimny..... Not any more.
Got one that seems to have been magnatized and driven through the "Big Jimny Bits" parts stores too quickly so it missed a few items.

I dont think anything specific would stop it but there would be a bit of peripheral work.

1. Wiring loom. The 1998 wiring loom would terminate in different positions to the 2008 as controls and switches moved around.

2. Heater cables - might be different lengths and possibly have different ends

Cheers Martin.
Wiring, I think can be handled.
It's the....
Heater Controls, from sliding to twist is what's stumping me. How would that work ?

So a similar question for the door trims. Will 2008 fit a 1998.

Reason for these questions.....
There are all these cool aftermarket trip panels with "Jimny" stamped into them that I want but they only fit the newer 2007 & later interior trim. So I need to update the trim.
Basically, if it says "Jimny" I want it.

Interior trim fits just fine, I know because I have just done it to mine. 2009 trim to a 2003
