Default Bug eye GX to WRX

Hi, does any one know the main parts I can use on my 2002 GX when converting it to a WRX. I am looking for a damaged WRX which needs reshelling. Are the engine, box, running gear the same on a blob eye, if I can't find a Bug eye and are any of the GX parts useable.
Any advise would be greatly received.

Thanks

New age stuff and basically you will have to just use your Gx shell, everything will have to be swapped from the turbo model

Again needs to be swapped over u can keep your interior that's about it I'm afraid it's not very cost effective unless you can get the whole turbo car cheap and do the work your self but can and has been done

Thanks for your time and advice. I got a nice GX in white which would make a great looking WRX.

ye I can understand ive done a lot with na scoobs over the years, and had a nice black blob gx that was a full sti rep, and I was toying with doing the conversion, but it just didn't make financial sense
