Del Sol front end swap help
So car accident = front end swap sooner than I planned.
What kind of process am I looking at to switch out the front end on a del sol to a 00 si or something like that? |

Re: Del Sol front end swap help
it seems like there would be a little more involved with it, I know those are all the parts i need but im sure they dont all just bolt on like i'd like them to

Re: Del Sol front end swap help
I think you have to combine the two fenders (rear half of sol + front half of ek). Then you have to weld the EK rad support. The rest will bolt up.

LOL. It's not a bolt on affair.

Re: Del Sol front end swap help
Just did some researching and everyone who has done it said the same thing I did. Some places may even sell a front end conversion kit that comes with already combined fenders.
EK hood is longer too by like 6" |
Re: Del Sol front end swap help
Anybody got a pic of this swap done? Sounds interesting to say the least.

thanks for the help guys. yeah im too poor for the kit. Going to the good old salvage yard for my parts, don't care if theyre different colors...nothing a spray can cant fix for now :D.
But your right, you have to half and half the fenders, fit the hood, swap the radiator supports and whatever else. I'm taking my time on it cuz if seen a few that look like hell, the hood, grill, and fenders have gaps between them...just looks lazy. Found a few pics, these two looked the best in my opinion: |
