  • 4 door and 2 door parts interchangable?

    looking to refit the rear beam and fueltank with components into a twodoor shell, car was stripped when i bought it and the parts really arent in order. I have a four door parts car here with these parts intact so would save alot of time just swapping them across

    will the rear beam and tank fit straight onto the 2 door?

      cheers pete, was hoping you'd chime in!
      back off to it for me. Is this the same for most of the front i.e shifter, linkages, steering gear

        Yep, pretty much the only difference is the doors. Even the handbrake cables are interchangeable.

        The exhaust might be different.

          Hi all ... I reckon the exhaust is the same. Same floor pan. ... Geoff

            That's great stuff to know. Not that I own a 2-door unfortunately to benefit from the larger number of 4-door spares around, but yeah, good info to have in anybody's memory bank.

              does this mean that floors are interchangeable between 2 and 4 door cars?

                I reckon they would be. They change between years though.

                    Pretty sure the floor's only changed in 83 and I think it is only the rear section that is different.

                    Everything will swap from 4 to 2 except doors and the associated trim.

                      Yeah the only diff is the position of the B pillar, the '83 door hinges are different too. Oh and I'm pretty sure 2 door and 4 door have different door handle internals.

                        Hi Guyz ,
                        Pretty much Everything will fit but
                        NOTE**** Early 3dr Fuel Tanks have fuel senders under the car in the forward position compared to later tanks which have them on the top with access from inside the car under the back seat... That's where you will get caught out....
                        Thanks Cam for taking the 75 off my hands....
                        Cheers to all George...(mk1 Super Nut/Specialist/New Sales)

                          thanks george, both have the sender above on the two I'll be swapping over, so should all be fine. great to know the floorpans are interchangeable too, makes things that much easier
