    Default Mk2 Nova shells, same or different?

    I am looking to re-shell my Mk2 GSi and have been offered a diesel shell, will they be exactly the same apart from body panels? Any help would be appreciated.

    The drivers side engine mount is positioned differently in a Diesel, found another thread with pics:

    Are the radiator mount holes in slightly different locations too? I seem to remember diesel rads being different to petrol ones.

    Are the rear arches the same or slightly flared on the GSi?

    Engine mount and rad holes and the bracket for diesel filter.I think I have put a td in a non td shell and a petrol in a td shell so pritty easy to do but will involve plating over the hole in the leg with the mount from your old car or fitting the full skin on the chassis leg in
