That sounded like it would have been a perfect donor. Unfortunately at the 
time we were originally doing the car, we were a little short on funds, so we 
were using a lot of donated US steel that came out of a dumpster from a friends 
place of work. : ) It helped both of us learn how to work with the thicker 
sheet metal, as it came in handy when doing the floors. I think they are thicker 
than any normal type3, even without the recessed stampings. : )  Building the 
air box intakes was the hard part of the job though, as they needed to be in 
the right places to get air to cool the engine.
