98 RS and V4 are the closest cars from the different continents and therefore more easily swapped/merged. 01 shouldn't be much more work as it has elec heaters like the V4 and newer cars.
P.S. you can register a car in a place where you don't actually live. you know when you need plates(birthday), so who cares where they mail your reminder? just pick a legit addy in a place with no inspections and you don't need one.
