Default 94 del sol conversion

i recently got a del sol and I want to do either an EK or EG front end conversion. ive read so many different things on conversions but each thing contradicts another..can someone tell me how much custom fabrication is needed or what i need to do other than find all the fenders and bumper? im guessing i would need a hood as well?

Honestly I hate when people chop up DelSol's for a conversion I think its so dumb and the fact that they are getting so rare and people are chopping off the front ends are horrible, Being said that I will tell you how I know its done and that is you need the hood, bumper, lights, fenders and rad support from what ever you are doing the conversion from. you have to chop the delsol and conversion fenders in half and weld them together. So keep the delsol fenders where it meets the door and chop off where the corner lights would go. Thats where you have to weld your conversion fender on so the shape of the conversion lights fit perfectly. if you mess up even the slightest it will ruin the car and look super stupid Ive seen 1 eg front end and 1 ek front end put on a delsol perfect and actually looked good. All others I seen it looks stupid.

EG front conversion is nice. EK is too big for the body style.

What is the point of getting new fenders if they need to be chopped up any way?
