    i have a 1998 Daytona that has seen better days, the motor and transmission are good. In my area there is a 98 regal sedan with a bad trans and a 2003 gtp coupe with a bad motor. which is the better car to get since have a donor car?
    Also, are impala easy to modify like the grand Prix?

    There was no GP coupe in 2003.

    Impala's are same to mod as a GP. Better interior, slightly ugly exterior.

    Mostly a matter of what you prefer.

    How bad is your daytona? I'm a few hours away from you but I'm looking for a good body to put my parts on when my body finally rusts in half.

    It's all the same. You could drop your subframe out and put it right up in the regal. It's the same car just different body.
