Title: WS6 confirmation on a 1981 turbo TA
Post by: dflory on September 28, 2017, 09:44:44 AM

Considering the purchase of a 1981 turbo TA that has the "4 disc brakes" decal on the door handles and has gold snowflake wheels.  Can a this car have 4-wheel (factory) disc brakes and NOT be a WS6? How is the best way for me to determine if this is a true WS6........it does not have a build sheet.

Lots of parts can be swapped over the years so no easy way to be sure just by a disc rear axle, 8" rims, or door decals.

WS6 info here: http://www.78ta.com/Pages/ws6ws7.htm

PHS documents (next best option when the factory buildsheet is missing) can be ordered here: http://www.phs-online.com/

WS6 "should be" stamped on the cowl tag under the hood (on cowl, driver's side, at base of windshield)
