Alloycars are real

As soon I know that my parts are interchangeable I will think about a MKIV setup. Its just about advantages and my budget.

Posting a couple of pics or a chassis # would make that possible. Which specific parts are you concerned with? I'd be happy to help, but it requires two way information.

Thank you for your offer. First I will check my chassis number. Have to be sure that I have in fact a MKIII. I bought it from a gentleman a long time ago. Can you tell me where the FFR chassis number is located?

Location on the frame varies with the series. Do you have the MSO from factory five? It will be on there. Pics of the driver foot box inside and out, steering rack, and front suspension would tell everything. I'm not sure, but I thought the vehicle title would have it too.

I have a bunch of documents. Should be easy. Will follow up with news tomorrow. My boss "wife" is looking over my shoulder.

MrNobody,
What are your plans for the MKIII you are taking the parts from? Are you planning on striping down completely, and if not, what parts are you wanting to move over?

That's the idea. Question is: Whats about the advantage using a MKIII base setup against a MKIV? The body will be the same.

Myself, I don't see any advantage for the MKIV beyond a better body, smaller diameter roll bar, and front suspension geometry. The perky butt can be taken out of the MKIII very easily. The chassis geometry is correctable, and the 1.5" roll bar is pretty much a bolt in mod on your MKIII. If you bought yours already built, the "drop butt" may have already been done as it is a very common mod. Once again pics would tell. If that has been done to your car, the alloy body will not fit correctly. It would really suck to find that out late in the game, and one more example of how their lack of ffr chassis knowledge may bite you.
