Hey guys is it as easy as getting a new bonnet and lower front section to get the earlier type 3 nose on a late model or do you need guards front re enforcement section apron etc etc etc... Basicly is it a basic job or a ball ache.. ??? Cheers guys

its a ball ache, the early type three's are shorter between the bumper a windscreen, if you REALLY wanted an early bonnet on you late car, cut an early bonnet in half (front to back, not left to right). then do the same to the late bonnet, graft one to the other and away ya go!
