I have 2 '69 MkIIIs. Pictures are on my www.freebacon.net website. Yours looks a lot like the one that my son is rebuilding. We have welded on replacement panels, not too big of a deal (I know someone who is a good welder, that helps a bunch). Floor panels were mostly intact, we welded reinforcement pieces in there. Big difference with the MkI and MkII are the bumpers are lower (more of an open-mouth look), 1147cc engine instead of the 1300, and the gauges are in the center panel. Engines and transmissions are interchangeable between all years (I've put an 1147 into a '79, and a 1500 into a '69 with very little trouble)
