Hi all

I am now the owener of a seris 3 lwb 109 diesel 3 door station wagon. I intend to do a stripdown and full rebuild. Has anyone ever changed a body from a 3 door to a 5 door?, if so what problems should I expect to come across?

Cheers

Kev

You like a challenge then.
It would be easer to get a 5 door one and move the good parts on to it.
