Default Sierra Sapphire 1.8cvh Auto Doner

Hi , ive been offered a Sapphire 1.8cvh Auto would this be any good as a donor. Oviously i would have to source a manual box,flywheel and clutch. Are the front hubs ,prop and rear diff the same as a manual??

Cheers
Frank

diff is probably a low ratio, prop you will be shortening anyway ( or buying one )

rear drums & shaft will be fine.

engine will be fine .

uprights fine.

so just a type 9 to source realy.

Cheers for the replys. That should be ok then, so it looks like i've got my donor car then. The diff will be ok for now , i can always change that later.
