    Default TA22 and Ra23 body difference

    Am after some info as to whether there is a difference in the floor pan from the firewall to the rear seat section on a ta22 and ra23.
    The reason being my 23 recently suffered a big hit in the drivers side door. It has bent the sill panel and the floor pan so we need to replace that section of the car. If i can find a good 23 section it will be easy but if one from a 22 will do it will make my search a little easier.
    Also if anyone in QLD has the need section or a cheap shell with no rust i would like to hear from you. I dont need a door as i have a set of spare doors.
    Thanks Nev
    Here is a pic of the section i will need to replace.

    I think they are slightly different. Seat rails are not interchangeable.

    Doors are the same apart from the intrusion bars in the 23 and not in 22 doors, the sill panels should be the same.

    Whats the other door gap like? Has it changed since your crash? If not im amazed, thats a pretty hard hit. Keep us posted with pics etc when your getting it repaired.

    Fark, that must have been scary from the driver seat.

    Looks like the sills had a bit of rust in them too!

    No the door gap on the other side is not too bad although i imagine when we unbolt the cage it will be a lot better. As for speed it was doing about 90kmh on impact.
    Les pm me your number and i will be in touch. Thanks

    What about a 28 sill and floor panel i can't see there been any difference in that area. if not i've got one as well you can cut up.
