Anybody can help me?

I want to formule another question...anybody knows if the chasis of a normal Sierra 3 doors its the same of a RS Cosworth?

Are the same or the RS chasis is better than the normal Sierra?

For example, I can put the engine and the front & rear axles from a Sapphire in a normal Sierra 3 door chasis?

Thanks.

yes you can. it's all the same on the chassis. i have done it before, no problem at all.

look at the car in my sig pic. that is cosworth 2wd everything (except on the estate, wagon, kombi or whatever you call it the rear springs and dampers are different)

make sure that you have everything from the cosworth though

Ok, I can put the pieces of the Sapphire in a normal Sierra 3 doors...great! I want to build a RS Cosworth for race but I don't want to rebuild an original RS, in Spain only exist 227 or less RS lol.

I want to buy a normal Sierra 3 doors and put in the parts of a Sapphire for build a Sierra RS like the original! But the bodykit in fiber, to race is better. Crashes...you know.

But...the normal Sierra 3 doors chasis its EXACTLY at the chasis of the Sierra RS Cosworth? Or the RS chasis is diferent in some parts?

Thanks!

exactly the same.

but if you are doing it for racing you will want to add strength in some places i would think.

personally, i think that the mk2 sierra in 3 door version looks great, and the later sapphire cosworth bodykit and bumpers fit which are much cheaper and more plentiful.

sounds cool, put some pics up when you get started
