My 1981 project car has the old style underdash fusebox . 
Notorious for it's unreliability , and as it's a project car wich  will be AAN converted , I thougt I'de 
modify the electrical system using the wiring from a later car , and offcourse it's fusebox . 

Thought this would be an easy mod . 
No more then drilling four holes , and cut out a section to allow the cables to pass . 
The 1981 did have a  raised section in the water well . At least that's what I thought 
The 1981 's raised section isn't big enough , so the fusebox doesn't fit . 

So I ended up cutting a piece of sheetmetal  from a donor car , and welding it in the water well  . 
It's an easy weld , and no real danger of things warping . 
But still , a lot more work then first expected
