Anyone know what a brand new xr4 shell is worth?

Cheers

Aaron

THIS IS NOT A FORSALE POST!!!!!

 

No idea, but its got to be worth more than a 3dr shell

You found one in Australia then ?

Steve

 

got any pics?

 

arent they the same shells? sorry i dont know much about the sierra

 

no the xr4i shell has a piller that splits the rear quarter window into two the 3 door shell has one piece rear quater window

 

There was one on the net not long ago for Ł500

 

Bargin, i would of bought that if i had seen it

Steve

 

lol at your sig Taps!!!!

I would pay Ł500 for a brand new 4i shell.

 

I paid a bit more than that 9 years ago though it included doors. Finally registered the car this summer!

 

whats going on 'ere then, a post about 4's and no one invited me, Steve break out the pringles, we need to find out if ther's a YB lurking around to go in it

Nowadays finding the shells is the hard part. They are now worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. you could get (if it was for sale ofcourse) Ł500 but if someone really wants it it could reach a grand.

 

hmm its a sierra xr4x4 shell. I know of one just wondering if anyone is interested in it.

 

if it's an xr4x4 shell then it's going to have 5 doors

but is it a pre 87 shell? 87-89 shell? 90-92 shell?

 

If it's a 4x4 shell, then forget everything I said.

 

How much?

 

Is it the Mk1 XR4x4 one Simpsons had stacked up with their other shells, think they wanted Ł400 plus vat

Ideal just for the front end panels, floor and roof skin for a 3dr

 

New XR4i shell on the bay

Ł500 with no bids yet

 

Bloody hell

Rocking horse $hit springs to mind

Steve

 

Until I saw that I would have been willing to bet that mine was the last.

Don't know how you would tell if it was one of the last 7 produced, though, because it doesn't have a number on it.

 

if someone wanted to , would those rear quarter windows be able to be cut out to resemble a 3dr rear quarter window?

 

Why would you Łuck up a better, stronger shell by doing that

Steve

 

because they look better

 

SACRILEGE!!!!

It could be done, but then the spirit of the dead XR4i would haunt the car forever.

It's a lot of work because the resulting holes in top and bottom of the window frame will need made good and flange formed, and the trailing edge of the windows are a different shape.

And I don't think the common or standard three door shape looks better than the unique and rare 6-lite shell.

 

A 3dr salesmans shell looks better, you need medical help m8 pmsl

 

its strange that the cosworth used the L shell not the XR. imo the L looks better but the xr shell is more ridgid.
could have been because the whale tale and the pillar made rear viability poor.

 

Go and find a 1.6 base 3dr sierra shell then to turn into a cossie replica

The 4i shell is unique and worth more than a 3dr shell

Steve

 

its not something i want to do , i just wondered if it would be bought up buy one of the cossie lads who is doing a resto and converted

 

I hope not.

Just wish i had a place to store it

Steve

 

be worth buying at Ł500 to cut up for a conversion to something else!

 

Im not going to bite James

You cunt

Steve

 

i saw that comming

 

There is only one possible answer to that, but here's someone who can deliver it so much better than me!!!

Hi mate an old post but had quick question. I have been offered a 1986 Sierra 5 door shell xr4x4. It's a mint shell now I have s rotten saph cosworth. Is the running gear mounting points all the same? I.e could I transfer all my cosworth running gear to a xr4x4 shell?

The mounting points are the same, but things like the boot are obvious, the wiring etc will be different

So if it's a complete reshell then no bother but swapping bits about not so straightforward

Best case scenario is an 89 saph, a 92 one will be much harded
