B3 front on a B4 Coupe...

Yes, I know, most people do it the other way round, but I much prefer the look of the older car!

So, I'd need bonnet, grill, headlights. Slam panel? And please don't tell me the wings are different...!?

On the saloon they are different but the coupes are the same.

That's because there really is no "B3 coupe" and "B4 coupe", just one model that is heavily based on B3 saloon and which was revised at the time when B4 saloon/avant was introduced - and from which B4 borrowed a bunch of parts.

Your welcome

So are you doing it then ?

Ring1980 · 10-08-14, 08:09 PM

Yeah I think I will, although it's not the next job on the list by a long way!

Got to get the engine running a little sweeter, find some different alloys, get it on coilovers etc... and then I'll get to work on the body.

No massive changes planned, just a V6 front bumper with the B3 bits (the best looking combo of parts in my opinion!) and a little tidy up :-)
