Post by: dew1911 on June 12, 2006, 14:50:20: If it's a 3 door then it's a 200, I don't think I've ever seen a 300 3 door, even the Commericals became 5drs

In that case then I am wrong.

Post by: Wanderer on June 12, 2006, 15:33:40: I'd be very surprised if that's a three door. I'd have expected some interior panels over where the rear doors are.

4 years outside with only primer on it. I'd be very worried. Primer doesn't form a very good barrier from water and if anything soaks water. So the body could be in a poor state after that length of time sat outside.

Post by: ChrisW on June 12, 2006, 15:44:42: Definitely 5 door. Although I do believe the shells were built to be adaptable between 3 or 5 door with fairly minimal work.

Looking at the headlamp panels on that I'd put my money on it being a 300 shell - aren't the headlamp recesses rectangular on a 89-94 model?

Unless it's a V8 shell :roll: :lol: :lol:

Post by: Xtremeteam on June 12, 2006, 19:20:58: i "think" thats a td5 shell due to the lack of rear body mounts & also the length if the rear overhang

Post by: mac on June 14, 2006, 12:24:33: Definitely a TD5, the shape of the rear wheel arches in the bottom corner of the rear doors are curved unlike the 90 deg angle on 200/300 ie the bit that rusts.
