yeah thats borderline re-body...
that and Im not all sure how i would go about that.
the rear end is easy enough, its the rear fenders, and lower fender to rocker area... but the front end, the series 3 hood is rounded at the cowel where the 5 is square... I would have to cut and graft in almost that whole cowel!!
hardest part about swapping in the floor boards seems to be keeping the frame from moving.. that and if I do a slopy job of the repair on the floors hardly any one will see it (unless it bends in half!)....
ah well, Im sure I will figgure it out when Im not sleep deprived !!!

Instead of using using the Series V parts to repair the Series 3, I'd put the parts that are unique to the Series 3 onto the Series V. Might be considered cheating, but would be a lot less work and you would end up with a more solid car.
