the shells was taken from the production line part finished, the shell you see was done for the work teams to be used for group a, not group n. Group n had all the fixtures in. Motorsport spec.
the shell is pressed from 0.7mm steel. There is no brackets/threads in the shell to mount front or rear cross members in. So shelling your car road simply wouldn’t work.
Rear cross member in the shell where the rear diff mount fits is pop-riveted in. This was removed during the build to insert the bosses for the group a rear diff mount.
Rear beam mounts modified for side exhaust clearance. No stiffners fitted on the rear tubs, all seams ground back to reduce weight. Only threads in the shell are for door check straps and steering column.
so there you go, works spec shells.
Motorsport shells as most people are aware of was used for converting sierras and group n self build cars.
