In the process of assembling my Oval after a full bare metal/body off rebuild.Running a 2.7lt Type 4 with Porsche cooling,4 wheel discs,17x8 wheels and an IRS conversion.Will be using fibreglass Aero guards all round( produced locally still using early headlights and late tail lights) I have grafted in a steel slider sunroof from a '66 as well. Decided half way thru to try and fit an auto trans from a Type3 (having already finished the original pan) Modified another pan by moving out the horns 50mm each side and welded gussets inside each horn.Managed to make all fit.
