I think the best donor car is the Hagesawa Impreza WRX sedan.
Its rear seat is a seperate piece from the interior tub, and its dash fits perfectly in the interior.
plus it has a center piece where the shiftknob and handbrake are located,
Its mirrors, unlike the fujimi ones, which only have a mirror set and not bases, come in as a complete piece with both mirror bases and connecting bases (like Tamiya WRX STI)



And add a 3rd LED brake light on the base mount of the rear spolier.


Along with subway and limited24, there is another very talented modeler from Taiwan who does a PERFECT job in recreating a 22B from WRC99 and fujimi GC8, whose name is sarafia 25.

I've been looking into this project for a while too, I wouldn't recommend the Hasegawa kit as a donor for the interior. Apart from being a 4door, their kit is narrower than Tamiyas. The Fujimi WRX interior however is a near perfect fit.
