interchangeable parts for 1997 swift

I bought a 1997 swift a month ago and am loving it. I am looking at a 1995 parts car for a few extras and wonder what model years are interchangeable. Can someone help me? Bruce

All 1995-2000 models have interchangeable parts, but the 1995-1997 has a different computer since advanced OBDII was added to 1998 and up, but all engine and body parts will interchange. This includes Swift/Metro/Firefly.

The 95 is OBD1.
96 and up are OBD2
Thus the computer is different, other related parts are different.
I've got a 2001 interior in my 95, as well as most the under the car parts are out of a 98.

Radiator is from the 2001.
Headlights are different but I suspect you could swap the pods with just wire modifications.
These cars are easy to swap parts from different years.
In 98 Geo was gone and Chevy went back to selling them under their own label (like the Sprint in the 80's).
That's when they made BIG changes to the engine/fuel system.
