Wow awesome work!

This is a conversion that I would love to do, but sadly it would cost about as much as my car's worth :( ha


Looking forward to seeing the finished pics!

smallest is for the front largeest for the middle no modifications, and last is for the back under the scuttle you will need to make spacer plates for the bonnet hinges, i covered all of this in the conversion thread if you read it
 
also ive no idea what youre doing do your front crashbar mounts no cutting on them s require just get new ones, including the tow section

or8 matei had all them the same as you just said but the rear one seem too fat ino if iput the bonnet hinge spacers on the wing could go higher but then the line fromthe door and wing looks bad n i think i seen your thread also them 2mm spacersdo they go under the hinges or ontop
thank R-y-e

...which makes such faffing about a bit silly. Save up and get the proper thing surely, as you are only going to end up with a hybrid bitsa that nobody else will want come re-sale time.

Obviously not worth it on mine, but got to appreciate the work the OP is putting into this! Not planning on changing my car anytime soon, and don't think i'd get the proper thing anyway, lot of other cars I like and would consider next too.
