I'm working on a Turbo Diesel LT 40 DoKa 4x4... *if* I get it, it won't be
until June when it gets here as I will need something to drive when I am in
Germany in April.
When it is here, I'll be glad to take what ever measurements you want! ;)

yeah I noticed that they are different, thats why I am interested. If the
length is the only difference then the grille could be shortened (badgeless
even maybe ;) and the lights could be grafted.
Anyone have an LT? Or know someone who does that they might be able to take
a measurement?
