I was wondering i like the nose on the late type 3's and was wondering how hard and what was involved in putting a late type 3 nose on an early?

This has got to be a world first.

It would probably be easier fitting early rear guards to a late model. Front guard length is longer on the 70's models.
Nothing simple like bolt on conversion, all cutting and welding to make it fit.

Good luck and post some pics. ;)

The fronts are really completely different cars, not just the panels but the front section and more.

Would defintley be easier to put early rear panels on a late car. But why? A world first for sure!

I'll take your early front fenders if they're up for sale:lol:

A world first? i like the later front without the bumper but i also like lots of the earlier features il see what i can do. :no:

People just usually want to make them look earlier rather than later that's all, not the other way around.

i saw an early sb turned into a ute usin late bumpers and rear quarters and tail lites, i think it looked good but i would not do it myself

im a late model fan but dont get me wrong i would roll an early any day


vlad01 - October 7th, 2011 at 12:46 PM

wow a late fan :starhit: ain't too many of us.

There is only 6 late notch owners on the samba including me. There are the rarest of the community there.
