Default can it be done new vs old

this may have been asked a few times so sorry if its a sial. after seeing a photoshop pic the other day some one had done of a impreza it go me thinking of how much better this impreza looked. is it possible to mash a new age impreza with a classic faclift one

using the back of a newage one as i think thats the best looking back end then using a facelift front are the cars chasis that much different. nto that im in any position to do this but was intregeded to see if there is any possibilities of doing it or has any one done it

after seeing the pic i thought it was the muts nuts and would be a brilliant look for a new impreza.

if any one has the pic im refering to by all means post it up as i cant find it

cheers

I'd like to see the top one de-tangoed (maybe new all in one headlights?) and perhaps without the lip. I think that would look better.

Looking at that pic it has the new wings so would taking cutting followed by a bit of polyfilla to get the sidlights in. So messy job.

If you were to do it; Wings, bonnet, front end would be easiest. But I think the arches would need rolling the match the newer car's rear arches. Then again is the old wing gonna blend nicely with the rest of the side bodywork of the car? Mmm gets more messy the more you think about it

Would make a good project for some mad person out there.
