Looks like the body is good and straight. Also appears to be 2wd, which means your wheels will need to be offset or you could use adapters maybe. Just jack it up and try them on the front first. See what kind of steering clearance. The bolt pattern is 5x4.75.
What kind of look were you going for?

In 98 they changed the front facia and the interior. Not sure what's involved in updated from 96 to 98+ but I've seen it done many times so it's probably not too difficult.

I believe you need to swap the rad support to convert to 98+ front end.
