***Emergency! Paging Dr InitialD*** (regarding his ED style rear end)
Dunno if this is a post+1 or not, but I think that by making a cut here & there, and making a hole here & there, EB/D tail lights and rear garnish can bolt onto an EA boot & ****-end. Hope this helps, unless I've misread your post and you actually want to swap the BOOT itself... -Dave- |

WHy not try putting the EA latch in the ED bootlid?
I know the ED Garnish wont go straight in, the back of the lid needs mods.

No, an EA latch won't bolt into an EB bootlid, and vice versa.
Just use the correct latch for the bootlid you are putting on, and change the striker on the back panel. They should be interchangable. |

I can't help it... Gloria is hot
 and I thought of your EA regarding its ED garnish. Guess I got it wrong though as niko pointed out he's doing an actual boot swap.I'm just in a silly mood coz I've scored project work over the summer! And as a result, (most of) my posts today have been useless... $550 a week plus $200 a week from my normal job at Coles, from November til March, and getting lifts to work with my old man, and that's not taking into consideration any o/t I might get from Coles. I'm gonna save an arseload of coin! When summer's over I wanna go PD shoppin... sooooooo off-topic! Oh, and it's my sister's twenty-onest tonight. Free s****y dinner + grog  I'm wrapt... it'll be the perfect echo to yesterday's boganesque chips & UDLs/VBs/homebrew "lunch".(someone shut me up) |

Niko i did this conversion to my mates ea just last week. I put an ed boot lid onto an ea, you need to get an ed striker/latch, drill a hole in the middle of it, and use a rather large bolt to secure it to the body using one of the existing holes, you can then possibly do a few spot welds later on if you dont think its secure enuf. Its confusing to explain online, you dont have to drill into the body....if you need help, gimme a call and i can come ova and show ya.
