Front end conversions

[Levin]

I'm sure there's been a thread like this before, but if not, let's see some front end conversions. They don't have to be good or bad, I'm just curious what sort of conversions have been carried out over time. I'll get the ball rolling with two I really, really like.


Sileighty: S13 Silvia front end on a 180SX body.


EG Del Sol: EG Civic front end on a Del Sol.

Some awesome examples in there & in the comment section.

Mainly this though:

[Codswallop]

Love the Sileighty, but the EG Del Sol doesn't work quite so well IMO.

Here's another questionable front end conversion;


Monaro with Commodore front end (bonnet, wings, bumper and headlights swap).

The R34 Stagea conversion is rather good compared to stock;

For some reason Porsche thought it would be a good ide to offer this for 911,



Customers weren't convinced....

Reminds me of the Nissan Skymera

'Bolf' conversion was popular a few years ago with the VW crowd...

I always liked the Bolf, less so the Gora...

I forgot about the Bolf / Gora conversions, though I always preferred the Gora!

Heh, i always thought the "Gora" looked better than the Bora.

Quite like that

This popped up on my Facebook today, not literally a front end swap but near as dammit. Evo X headlights and (most of) bumper, on a Mitsubishi 3000GT






And while we're on the subject of semi-conversion semi-modified, Honda Odyssey headlights and bits on an S13 Silvia, conversion known as an Odyvia:

I'm not sure why you'd do that - looks odd.

The opposite (Monaro nose on Commodore) is known as a "Monadore" and actually looks quite good.

Charger front end on Dodge Magnum/Chrysler 300C has been done a few times...


Half done conversion with latest Charger nose:

I recall a company called Dage Sport doing similar conversions back in the 80s too

Except the odd German porn mogul with a Mullet and a lot of teenage boys who had a photo of a flatnose on their wall, very much of its time.
