Cosworth Re-Shell Questions
Am wondering if people can help me, i currently have an E reg 2wd Sapph cosworth which has seen better days, engine wise and running gear wise the car is really good, however its shell is rotten as a pear!
I have been looking around for a re-shell (and i wanted to go 3dr), but to be honest am on a budget and its proved difficult.
Anyhow i have stumbled upon a 3dr shell in MINT condition, it was originally an 1.6 which has been converted (well) into a 3dr look-a-like, now its JUST the shell i can get, no interior etc. Its running on 1.6 suspension and rack and is missing the front bumper and grill, now i know its not for the purist but its at a price i can afford!
My question is this, if i used my Sapph as a donor car what would i need extra, or what wouldnt fit this shell?, for example would the sapph's rear beam fit? Would its breaks and suspension fit? Same with the interior, carpets etc. I'm guessing the exhaust wont fit? How about front bumper?
Basically whaqt am i getting myself into! I'm hoping i can just transfer all my sapph stuff straight on? But i'm guessing that aint possible!?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
