My FRST shell needs loads of work, so i'm think of just buying another shell and build all FRST parts into that.
So here comes my question: Is the shell from a FRST different from any other MK3 shell???

Not sure about the actual shell but I know the wishbones are definately different from base model to xr and rs range. Something to do with the track width

I hear some rumors that the RST and XR2 shell was reinforced.
Could this be true?

I am not sure but, when I re shelled my previous Fiesta RS Turbo I got a brand new XR2i shell (as I was told that was the one to go for! - If you do this or are offered a brand new one remember they come with NO VIN !!!!!!!

Apart from bodykit holes they're the same. Bear in mind that there are two types of MK3 shell, the early one (up to about '93 iirc) and the later mk3.5 (93 on iirc) They have different seat mounts on the floorpan and (not 100% sure on this one) have different mounts to accommodate the power steering rack.....

Hoe about a series 1 shell that's mint and just needs a fiesta engine dropping in it?

As above, all Mk3 Fiesta shells are the same (other than the holes for the bodykit on the XR/RS).

Mk3.5 are different.
