I have the standard floopy key and i have bought a new not floppy fob from e bay

Now i am only actually interested in changing the blade and latch mechanism so i assume i have 3 options

1: get a new key cut and replace the top section of the fob

2: prize the old blade out of the old fob and replace it into the new fob

3: gut the old fob and then do either of the above

Questions

Is there a transponder burried inside the plastic fob or is it on the green pcb board which is a fairly easy swop

Can you get the key blank cut and if so where ?

How easy is it to swop the key blade ?

I have a spare fob from another car ( also floppy ) which i can destroy to see how it all fits together

Is this likely to result in success?
