Default 95 and 98 civic front subframe compatibility

Bought 98 coupe with d16y7 in it, everything looked sound when I checked the car out. But after I bought it and got it home I decided to go over it a little more throughly, upon further inspection I found a spot on the front subframethat seems to be purty rusty. I don't particularly like it, so I'm gonna replace it. I purchased partscar (which is a 95 sedan) for $50, hoping I'd be able to swap the subframes. Is this possible? What would I need to do or your thoughts on my sitch. Thank you

The Civic went through a complete redesign for 1996. It is unlikely that any body parts will interchange.

Yes it bolts on but you need other parts as well. A lot of useful information on that thread. Since you have a parts car you should have everything.

Surface rust? That's toasted in my book, and only took a peek under the car until I got it home and off the ground. 800 bucks is all I gave for it, so I wasn't too worried about it

Tony’s got a dry sense of humor that’s a little hard to pick up on, so don’t get too butt-hurt.

To use a 92-95 Civic crossmember in a 96-2000, you’ll need to swap these over, too.

EG subframes into EK civic's is a pretty common swap (I think it makes K swaps or something easier....) Anyways its been done, A LOT, do some research...
