Late panel fitted to an early van

[tequila]

Hi ... me again. Someone has fitted a late front panel to my camper and I want to restore it back with the low lights. Do I need to have the panel off and fit a new one or can I just fit blanking plates and a new lower valance with the low light holes?

We all ask these questions when we start as we were all in the same boat

You can fit blanking plates and a lower only section that has the holes cut out for the low indicators, also removing that horribloe bulge at the bottom if you have it (didnt look at pics)

Also if you want it to look proper you need to remove the little bulge behind the nose badge (again i didnt look at pics)

Ask away we all do, if it wernt for this place i'd never of tackled what i did



just checked the pics and yes all the above

you'll also need to get the indicator brackets cut from an early original panel because the repro ones come without them... either that or make some.
