MK3 front to Smiley front

[jonnyshag]

I got a MK3 transit ambulace and im thinking of changing the front for a smiley front , Does anyone know how this is done

It is pritty strait forward - basically get all the bits off a smiley and fit them on!!!
bumper and bonnet are different, and the grill mounting brackets are different so you will need them too.
to be totally authentic you will also need the wings as they are different - the groove the side repeater sits in is longer on the mk3!!

i'd guess you will be ok leaving the mk3 bumper on they are the same height - the smiley bumper has more shape to it!!!
