The later type front panel differs in that it has the holes pre-set in to accept the tear drop front subrame mounting.. also has the bigger pressing in that later front body panel for the Trafficator lights to fit onto.. just sayin in case you have a later front panel fitted ;)

Still has original front panel that’s why the teardrop mount wouldn’t fit so thanks for info
