pipinhispop 0 Posted July 19, 2008 Ive just found the earlier pics too, That looks so good with the MK3 front on it, thats what I wanted to do with it when I had it but was too keen to get it on the road 1st to put the extra time into actually doing it. I am so glad youve gone ahead an done to it, just a bit jealous now though. Looks superb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FUZZY 0 Posted July 22, 2008 front end looks good ... will mk3 front end fit on later truck bodies ... or is it a fiddly job needing mucho adjustments or a simple bolt on jobbie? Always liked the truck and pleased to see yours coming on ... another one saved ... Good man Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Lewis 17 Posted July 22, 2008 not just bolt on as front panel, upper front panel and radiator support panel are all different but its easy eanough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
