Basically me and my vtr met some oil and then met a nice concreate reinforced fence :y:

So the front end has taken a beaten and i need a new shell really. none of mechanical pieces are damaged, engine, struts rear axle etc are all fine.

Looking around ive only really seen 106 xsi and s1 rallye shells for sale.
Would my mk 2 struts,rear axle and everything else from my vtr bolt on fine to one of these shells?

i really cant be bothered breaking my car due to the money ive put into it over a short period of time and that it'd only cover 33,000 miles so everything is in good condition just now. only thing i wont be putting into the new shell would be the engine,gearbox etc, am wanting 16v now.

cheers
Dale

all your saxo parts will fit apart from the only difference is the ecu side engine mount

you can swap the bit off the chassis on your vtr onto the 106 shell

or you can get a s1 106 mount and put on your vtr engine
