Doors up to 67 ( I think) will fit post 55 Ovals. The earlier ones had some differing latching mechanisim. Oh and after 60 they had push botton door
handles. So if you wanted to use the pre 60 pull out handles you have to fill a mounting hole.
Bonnets - All will fit up to 65 again (I think) but the prop style , pre 62?? fit the best. These have a flat area under were the VW logo mounts.
Later ones have this area raised.
Guards - Front - any sloping head light guards will fit. Bumper mounts and indicator holes would need to be filled/changed
Guards - Rear - Most will fit but again later ones will need modification were the bumper mounts are.
If I think of any more I'll add it later
Cheers
Dean
