G'day All,

I'm in the middle of sourcing some sheet metal parts for my sedan (we English say saloon - I don't know why. May be it is because of our love of spaghetti westerns...)

My W123 saloon / sedan old accident repair (and a bit of rust repair) thread

I've found some chap who has just driven his coupe into a tree and so I have a small but distinct opportunity to go and cut bits out of his car so that I can transfer them onto mine.

At the very least I'm looking for part number 5 in the picture below



I'm pretty sure that this part is the same as on the coupe.

I'm guessing that the floor parts forward of this part number 5 will also be the same in both body styles. However, as I only have access to the Russian EPC (http://mb.ilcats.ru/part/class/1/ccode/1/cat/223/type/123/subtype/243/group/61/subgr//vers//imgno/2 for example) I can't be sure.

Does anyone know which bits of the coupe body shell are shorter in length? There is a small difference in wheel base between the two models (8.5 cm according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W123)
