Default costs and work involved in doing a bug to hawk front end conversion?

Is it just a matter of needing the bumper, grille, bonnet, lights and wings... Then attaching?

Or does the shell need modifing for it all to fit together?

Do you know Finn from NESF at all? I think he may have either done one or have a very good idea how too..

If your going to do it, make sure you get the headlights 1st as they are the most expensive and hardest bit to come by.

Everything will bolt straight on if you change the upper part of the front panel and headlight surrounds, the inner wings right at the front need trimming slightly so the front panel meets up with them, only a few mm then you can shape the metal to have somewhere to fix to, nothing too difficult, pretty straight forward really.
