As long as the 'new' (NT) body was a 1.3 you should be right.

I have just finished putting a NT 1.3 body on a one litre NT chassis and it was a bit of a stuff around. The mount bolts are in different places.
In your case there will be more problems like the brake booster, the floor etc.
Not impossible to overcome but much easier if you get a 1.3 body.

1.3 NT's bolt straight onto 1.3 WT's. There are a few differences like brake booster bolt patterns are slightly different, rear bar doesnt bolt back on without mods to mounts, etc
