Default Can it be done?

Well I picked up a 95 DX HB about six weeks ago that had front end damage, I was planning on going with OEM parts, but i ran into a good deal on a Del Sol roller with no title. So heres my plan I wanted to swap the Del sol front end <-- thats the easy part. What I was wondering is, can I swap the del sol dash in the hatch. I know the integra can be swapped, but i really like the del sol dash and i think it would be cool to see.

Ok I think that the bolt on points for the dash are same for the civic and the del sol, so I think that hard part would be making the door panels fit with the dash ends.

couldn't you just cut the entire front clip of the del sol and weld it to the other car?

I've seen del sols with EG front and on them so I don't see why you can't do the opposite.

I've also seen EGs with the del sol dash, so it can be done as well. Just do some research, maybe check on the "Appearance / Cosmetic" forum as well

I think if I was going to cut and weld the front end i would just go with the RHD conversion. I know that the front end will fit for sure, i have seen it done, what i was really worried about was the dash. The reason I want this done is that i love both of the cars and i can only afford to build one for now so Im going to kill two birds with on stone and build this mutt. lol

I dont know how you would get the dash to sit in properly. The del sol dash is meant to have the center console at the bottom of it, without it it'll look like crap. Good luck if you wanna do it.

If you swap over the fenders, the headlights, the bumper, the core support, the hood, it SHOULD work. I've seen del slows with 92-95 front ends, can't see why it wouldn't work the other way'round.

True, but not the point

Aesthetically pleasing and possible are nowhere near the same thing.

Of course, with the core support. But that should be a given
