Car Body Shape

[strouf]

Hi all,

Does anybody know if the dimentions of the car have remained the same over the years of production ? I'm particularly intrested in the roof area....

 

Or... can you think of any reason (apart from aircon vents and roof mounted seat belt ) why a sunroof that is recomended for the Mk1 cannot be fitted on the Mk2 ?

 

 

Your help please !! Thanks

just so you know - no ones ignoring you

 

thats kind of one of those really hard questions .. mine was even easier than that - and we didnt really really really get a definite answer.

 

when I was buying interiors for my mk1..

I was ok with the seats .. altho the front ones were apparently going to be a squeeze...

 

headlining was different - or so one of the breakers said - so I cant say.

 

I was putting in my headlining today anyway - and I know how nasty it is to fit around the sun roof area.

 

 

I'd say your best bet - is to go down to breakers who have both mk1 and mk2 gals, flash them a smile - a lovely smile - like mine :D - and hope they let you look at them...

 

and if you're looking for breakers within 50 miles of luton who might have gals - you can FORGET ABOUT IT. alot of them are up NORF,

 

ofcourse I'm not saying you live in luton - just saying if you're anywhere near civilisation... bleh

You'll need "inside information" regarding the roof area - althought the basic bodyshell is the same, extra strengthening was added for the Mark 2 - try measuring the sunroofs on a Mark 1 and Mark 2 and see if they are the same, and in the same position on the car (measure from top of windscreen to front edge of the sunroof). Even then there is no guarantee that all the internal parts of the mechanism are the same.
