Front end conversion
 
I have a classic subaru wagon..

I popped down to my local scrappy this afternoon and they have a bug eye scooby with rear end damage in the same colour as mine

I've always loved the bugeye from the front but prefer the rear of the classic..

Basically is there any way I could do a front end conversionif I purchased:

Front wings
Bonnet
Front bumper,
Front lights, (inc lower fogs)
Grill
Slam panel, and all front support bars..

I'm guessing its not just a bolt on/off... But would it be fairly straight forward with a bit of welding without having to muller parts...

Sounds doable.

Ask Prodriverules on here.

Were you dropped on the head as a child? :D

First thing I'd do would get the tape measure out, and see it the width's are the same at the bonnet mounts.

It might be as simple as just bolting the majority of things on and welding the slam panel etc in.

I think the Hawkeye front end would go better aesthetically, on a classic.
