welshpug 1,657 Posted December 6, 2007 the only think I can imagine being an issue is the rear seats and doorcards. rear beam will be identical, bar maybe a slightly bigger ARB on the Mi, but the estate did use quite hefty shock absorbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

205007 12 Posted December 6, 2007 yea a shame but the saloon has a rather alarming chassis leg rust patch which i hadnt noticed previously so she has to go i might try the wishbones aswel maybe ill get some neg camber action like the 309 ones on a 205!! rear bumper???

welshpug 1,657 Posted December 6, 2007 rear bumper wont go one, very different I'm afraid, shame about the Lemans, it seems if they rust at all that's where they start to go wishbones are the same IIRC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KRISKARRERA 2 1 Cars Posted December 8, 2007 Someone over on the 405 forum has had their LeMans broken into and damaged. He'll need doors. I've linked to this thread over there in case he wants to ask you about getting certain large parts of bodywork. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
205007 12 Posted December 8, 2007 i dont want to weld it, im sure its been thwacked and bodged so opening up some can of worms when the torch comes out isnt worth the hassle thanks for the link kris, you can tell him the body parts wont cost a lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
