the driveshafts, axles, brakes, suspension are all different from the 1.6, but only in that the cossie stuff is better, it will all bolt up.[/QUOTE]


Even though all these have come off a sapph not a 3dr?
For some reason i was convinced the rear beam and shafts would be differfent on the sapph to that of a 3dr?

The shell is an 86 i think?

Am happy if it'll all go on though! It'll save me a fortune![/QUOTE]

yes it will all bolt in to a 3door shell. i have a friend over here that transplanted the entire drivetrain from a 4x4 sapphy into a merkur which is just a more heavily strengthened version of the sierra. i think only the floor had to be modified for the 4x4 tranny.

we have the narrow and wide tunnels here too and all the t-5s fit without modding the tunnels.
