[QUOTE="Clem, post: 553893, member: 15"] Its all down to demand and profit, I guess. Splits have been being restored for many years now and the fronts are 'essentially' similar across all models. From a numbers perspective later vans are by far in the majority and had the bonus of being in production in South America up until recently. Up till now its been deemed acceptable to modify what was available. I would guess that the amount of people who would reject a repro late panel would be about the same as those that could source an og early front end, so maybe the real demand hasnt been there. Now, as the og availabilty dries up someone will tool up and make a good front panel? Finger crossed. Interestingly, my my brother and I have been to a few dent removal type places regarding dings and dents in our front panels .... no one is interested! They just want it off to a body shop to fill and paint :roll: [/QUOTE]
