1.3 to 1.3 body swap

[Pyrotech]

first up..yes i searched, and could only find info on 1ltr to 1.3 body swap info.

i have a 92 hard top body sitting in my backyard that i cant seem to sell, so i thought i might try to pick up a cheap zuk with a trashed body and make a good one out of two.

now i am guessing that putting a 1.3 HT body onto a 1.3 ST chassis, should be pretty straight forward..

1. unbolt old body
2. disconnect all wires, hoses, cable etc
3. take body off - discard of
4. lift new body on and boltd down, reconnect everything
5. drive

would it be possible to do this in a weekend?

please any and all info is appreciated

Not with you doing it.....

It would take you a month of sundays.....


Can i ask why you would want to go back to a full bodied shell??????

Its just more panels for you to trash....

OH HANG

you actually have to go wheelin if you want to trash panels....MACCAS carpark doesn't count....

the soft top, is coming off the road for lux diffs and a few other mods.

i am gunna do the HT up just for use as a DD

and i smashed that Tcase pulling out of a servo..NOT MACCAS

are they both a WT or NT?

if so then yes it should be possible with the right lifting bits and such.

hardest bit would be either fuel nozzle bit or firewall/front clip but may be possible to unbolt body and leave clip there supported.

yes both are WT

i have dismantled 2 sierras before, but have never rebuilt any

Mate its pretty much a straight swap, from memory i didnt have to change anything. I put a NT hardtop body onto my WT softtop chassis with no probs.
I reckon with a few mates to help lift it can quite easy get done one weekend.
