Re-shells

[SprintV8]

<br>
But if your going to reshell<br>
<br>
Surely you would be using the Sprint loom anyway.

About 10+ years ago, I reshelled a Sprint using a 1500TC donor shell (I think) - this was a complete bare shell job swapping over all parts.<br>
<br>
As far as I can remember, it was quite straight forward to transfer all the parts - the only issues were related to various holes either missing or no longer needed..<br>
i) internal roof 'grab handles' : the threads for these were in the wrong place.<br>
ii) hole through bulkhead for the speedo cable was missing<br>
iii) needed to drill holes in the floor for the exhaust hanging brackets<br>
iv) needed to drill hole in doors for the chrome side trims.<br>
v) at the back, there were holes for the chrome trim that were no longer needed (due to chrome trim around the back lights being different).<br>
<br>
so all in all, not a huge drama.

Thanks for all of your advice guys. You will be pleased to know that I have acquired another sprint so any reshells of my sprint in boxes are on hold....In fact any work is on hold until I free up some space on the drive...that'll be bits of my collection on ebay soon then.
