Shell?

im going to look at a cat c write off cossie later but it was written off in 1992. i want to see if the shell is still genuine. is there anyway of telling the 2 shells apart.

where there any diffrences between the 2 shells


many thanks

mike

 

not 100% sure but I thought the gearbox bracket holes were different (this may be for a 3dr shell only though)

someone will be able to confirm.

 

3 door only, and they are only different upto B reg, after that the tunnels are the same.

 

thanks

would i be right in thinking one shell for all then??

 

The shell for the Saph Cossie is the same as all Saph shells IIRC. Think they have a load of holes for brackets etc on the inner wings because of that above reason.

 

Cossie shells also had reinforced A frame pillars. Lesser models didnt.

 

Is that just the saphs?

As my 500 and 1.6 shells appeared the same in this area.

 

yip

 

You learn something new every day!


I wonder why they particuarly choose there to re-enforce though, doesnt seem an area that needs attention to me!

 

dunno why either, but know they did. They were foam filled and reinforced.

a golden nugget for ya

 

 

You sure they were foam filled mate, cos they have drainage tubes running down inside them?

 

I am sure the cosworth Chassis numbers started differently to the normal sierra, WFO is it as the cossies ere all german made???
