3) Drop the engine from your white car, then swap it into the beige car. Don't even have to unbolt the transmission
4) Swap over the speedo cluster so your mileage will be correct.
5) Swap over whatever body parts you so wish
6) Cheap, DIY quick paint job
BAM you're done for like $600
oh and that is if the engines are the same and the years correspond
