Default Front end swap?

I have seen a couple of front end swaps on del sols, is it at all possible to do a s2000 swap? Does anyone have measurements of the car? I just thought i would ask..

Thanks

With a little cutting and welding yes- it might not be bolt on but it sure can be done -

Honestly I have never thought about it before but I agree that it would look sweet I think. You are going to have to do some fabbing though with at least custom radiator support, fender mounting areas are going to have to be worked out as are the door lines. Also it seems like the hood is longer on the S2k so not sure about that either. If done though I think it would look awsome.

it would prolly cost more to put the front end on there than a used s2k would cost so just buy a damn s2k and be happy with a better car

Waste of money IMO. The Del Sol has a great front end on it already, as does the S2k. Putting them together would be a waste of money.

my problem is the headlights for the sol, if they were made it wouldn't be so bad,

I am thinking heavily on this or another swap


Thanks

I dont know if the s2k would fit, itll prob require alot of fabrication and welding. I do know that around me theres a sol with a 00 Si front end and s2k tails. looks good imo.
