I had a lot of debating back and forth before I started this project. But now am too excited for it to be done!

I came across this thread just this morning. Didn't know anything about your conversion man. But I see I'm right on time.

Isn't there a OEM part for the total sheet metal rear fender behind the door? Obviously not I see.

Anyway are you planning to get a lsd etc?

Keep us posted. Great car, great job.

Cheers
Robin

There is a set of parts but that would require a lot more work and a lot more OEM parts.

I would like to get an LSD at some point in the near future but I cant decide what kind and this project has sapped most of my funds.

Thanks!
