5G~4G Suspension Interchangeability

Thanks again for the help, last thing i wanted to ask was if the rad support bar (the cross member that runs accross engine bay with bonet latch and rad) and also the inner wings that are spot welded to the chassis, if they are common between 5G and 4G.

Gonna have to drill out the spot welds and then weld in a new drivers side inner arch and rad support. Apart form that its panels and suspension.

Pretty sure chassis legs are still straight.

The bonnet hinges are also done for, im guessing swapping them out is easy enough.

Need to get my lude back on the road! Wont stop till its done

IDK, but I'd have thought they'd be different.
If nothing else, because the headlight mounting positions will be different.
(THAT IS NOT, REPEAT NOT A 5th Gen HEADLIGHT POP BTW, JUST STATING FACT!!!)

(cue hardy editing for accuracy with that one

Yeah I wouldnt think the slam panels would be the same.

Okay I've decided to give sorting the car a go.

Car is currently on mates land. Where are gonna rent a unit together so things can get sorted. (He has an MX5 he is race prepping).

Once I've sorted storage/work space I'll get a proper project thread up on here with some lovely before (and sad) after pics...

Should be fun!
