Will a MK4 body fit on a MK3.1 chassis?

[Turboguy]

Just curious if this is a do-able "upgrade" ? Either as a drop on, or requiring just a few mods?


I apologize if this has been covered before, but I haven't really hung out in the roadster area on these new forums.

No, it will not fit

[Hammink Performance]

needs some minor mods,

here you find the some pics of when we shipped it;

[Mark Dougherty]

yes it does
you do have to mod the chassis a little.

Thanks for the help, guys - it's something I'm going to consider doing!

Some things to be aware of which you'll have to address:

---Frame structure and aluminum panels are different aft of the seats.
---Trunklid uses hidden frame mounted hinges rather than the surface mount Mk3 style.
---The front body attachment method is different with the nose being sandwiched by the quick jacks rather than by fasteners in the brake duct openings.
---The body side attachment is from below rather than by the side bolts. The rocker panels roll fully under.
---The Mk4 windshield is farther forward on the cowl.

Certainly doable, but not without some mods and fabrication.
