NB front panels on an NA?

Postby Fuzzlet » Thu Aug 10, 2006 7:46 pm

A strange idea popped into my head whilst washing the car. Replace the NA lights, front bar, front fenders and bonnent with those from an NB. I wonder whether this would fit, and whether I'd also need the NB radiator mount.....just a thought that popped into my head.....can anyone shed some light as to whether its possible

Have to fit the NB radiator support...everything else is very similar.
NC Roadie, NC Racey, ND Racey….and a 30AE

Plus several others in the bone yard...

I thought the nb panels had to be cut and welded to a pair of na ones as the door surrounds are different? But yes it is a very nice look. Richards looks hot.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy an NB, though thats probably not the point.
Back to having no money, damn my obsession.
