No, that is incorrect. In stock you are not allowed to morph a car
built in one year into another year car, even if you make all the
needed changes. As an example I can't take a 1991 Miata and add the
rear suspension cross-brace from the 1992 Miata and run it in stock,
even though that is the only significant difference between the two
years.
From the Solo II rule book, section 13:
"Option package conversions may be performed between specific vehicles
of a particular make and model, but only between configurations from
within a particular model year".
Sounds pretty clear to me...
