Question mk4 to mk3

really fancy doing a black series 1 replica , trouble is finding a decent mk3 to start off with is proving difficult, does anyone know, how much work is involved in converting a mk4 shell? obviously the front end is , i know doors are the same, what about rear quarters and back end?

Anything is possible if ya put ya mind to it, but is it worth building a mk3 rep out of a mk4 shell? I dunno, maybe its me, sorry.

As above mate, front panel, wings, scuttle panel & bonnet..then the rear panel.

Quarters are the same, but I think you may need to make the square hole to hold the bumber corner peice, no biggie, & the boot lid is different
