Parts crossover

I see a post discussing that a front hood latch is from a T-3, and recall a couple of months ago reading that the door hinge is an old Ford Courier PU.

What other parts crossover collective wisdom is out there on the list?
Please advise and I will make a database for all to share

might be obvious, but since you asked:

door latch mechanism (both inner and outer) are beetle and are cheap at CIP.

Years ago, when Sears & Roebuck used to print a foriegn auto parts catalog, I would use their STOCK numbers as a guide to parts that were interchangeable between various european auto manufacturers. It was surprising how many of the same component parts wound up in Italian, German, Sweedish, French & English cars.

An amusing note was that, using the catalog as a guide, I found that a starter for the automatic-stick-shift VW was the same as for my 912 Porsche. The prich for a used 912 starter at the local junk yard was 2-3 times the price of athe VW.

Today, I would think that the junk dealers internet sites probably have the capability to readily cross ref parts.

That doesn't really leave many more cross-referenced parts -

Trunk latch is reported to be Type 3 too; door handles are custom/repro; front headlights are pre 67 bug/bus; front turn are 18 wheeler universal clearance lights (made by Signal STAT) but pre-67 VW Ghia front turn or 59-63 AH Sprite/3000 glass ones work too (either clear or amber lenses available; early AH Sprite/3000 (also used on Triumph) round glass lenses can also be used for the '55 Speedster look rear lights - as they come in red and amber); inside rear mirror can be 64-74 MGB (Sprite/Midget too).

This is a great start
Any others?

Any other crossover for the door hinges

Is the teardrop taillight Speedster specific?

Horn grills?

Tail lights are Porsche specific (unless you go the "A" Beehive look) --- worse yet the base and the lense (but not the chrome trim) are either R or L.

What are the hood and trunk hinges?

Any other ideas on the door hinges as the Courier part is not available
