hey im for building a one off saff project.i am planning on changeing it to 3d by taking the 2 doors,centre pilers an 1/4 panels off a 3 door an fitting them to my saff.
needing to no is the the saff an the 3dr the same dimensions from the front to the rear windscreen.so then i will no that the roof line for the doors will work an the 1/4 panel will fit with my roof to.
any help on this will be very helpfull cheers evan

 

I firmly believe there is a difference in some early shells between 3 door and xr4i, apart obviously the window issue, so wouldn't hold out hope they are identical the shells you're using.

The OP wants to know differance between Saff and 3 door, to which having got both I would say the roof is the same and so front winscreen to back (MK2 hatch and Saph this is) for example the doors between saff and hatch are interchangable as well, I think it's just the 'Boot on the back' that makes the difference. MK1 I would imagine may differ.

thanks does anyone else have any other views on dis need all the pointers,help an ideas i can get thanks>evan

 

two door saffs have been made before, they dont look nice! there was one for sale on piston heads a bit ago

 

could you get me a pic of wan or a link mate cheers

 

Hey
Check this out ! I had noticed it a while ago and was considering the project.
Have you started yet ? I still need to locate a donor car

Look shit IMO .

 

Ford made 2 Door 'sapphs'? Well they have the same front end as the sapphire, but a hatch rear?

 

I dont really like it TBH, but I dont think "shit" is a fair description (well maybe of the wheels)


The ones ford did were just hatch shells with a mk2 front end, so very different to that.

 

It surely needs a while to get used to. I was checking the American 2 door coupe mustang Lx from the very early 90`s and i think its very similar in shape.

 

OP says hes wanting to use 3 door rear quarters, so he must be wanting a hatch rather than that coupe style? I don't think that white car looks too bad!

 

I assumed me meant the lower half of the quarters and would be custom making the top bit from a bit of both cars (like the pic)

 

Wont it just look like a European 3dr mk2 Sierra though?

 

Google brought me back to PF

i think if this car had the saph cossie front bumper fitted with the 3dr door moulds and them arches removed it wouldn't be that bad

 

looks horrible imo

 

I like it
i think it would look better without the 3 door side mouldings and a cossie front bumper and nicer wheels.
Can anyone photoshop this ?

 

A few years ago I hunted that car down with a Fast Ford feature in mind.... Was gutted when I finally met up with the guy and saw the stupid kit he'd put on it

Got a good few snaps of it somewhere, but he specifically said he didn't want them on the web! Shame, as it would have looked good if he'd just went with OE looks.
