I have just been given a 'K' reg Saphire 1.8LX in burgandy.

Crap engine aside, the shell is very solid and clean and apart from one minor car park ding on the nearside front appears so far to be accident free.

I'm just tooling around in it at the moment while I finish my Cosworth V6 transplant to the Cortina and the ongoing (when I can be arsed) 2.0ltr Zetec transplant to the mk3 Escort Cabrio.

But I just know that once there done I'll want to build something else and as the missus quite likes the Saph, there's a fair chance it will get worked over.

So, just to see if this is a non starter, are all the floor pans the same? i.e. all pressings and bulges are the same? Tooling and location/mounting holes are all present and in the same place? The transmisiion tunnel is the same?

How about the 4x4 cars? are there floorpans the same aswell?

Cheers for any help,

Smiler.
