Leave it a 73 and enter classic car shows.
The 80's cars were different, and were imports only.

The Transport people told me there were two many differences to even consider them the same car...
Different manufacturer.
Different doors.
Bigger back windows.
Different ADR's
hence why i'm not allowed to do a legal body swap.(Don't get me started)

It's a car show... if they are that padantic about correct body numbers i wouldn't bother going.
I have a 1990 mini... non mini people think its a 60's mini done up.
