I think its totally, utterly, and undisputeably retarded to put that front end on a 92-95 civic.

but that's my opinion.

it just sounds like you'd end up parting it out and losing money on the deal. it doesn't really sound like you could eventually get this beast back to showroom without spending some ridiculous time/money, esp. in bodywork and paint. hmm you could almost afford a real gsr for that money...

i would never buy another persons project, who knows if its built right. I would rather take a little more times and do it myself so i know whats going on and how to fix it if it breaks

i would shop around. that front end looks like *** imo. also with the $$$ that you have to put into it you could find another car that is in much better shape.

So its a 92-95 with a 96+ front end conversion? Does anyone have pics of this done? And why would it look bad? I never seen it done before, but ive always thought that the pre 95 honda headlights (civics) suck *** because they are two pieces. And most of the time they dont line up perfect.
The car the guy described sounds like a pos! Needs paint, dents all the way around it, no interior, salvaged title (banks wont give you loans on that if you need it?), somewhat of a rebuilt gsr motor?
Just think if you bought it and wrecked it, the insurance company wont give you hardly anything for it because it wasnt worth anything (salvaged).

I'd buy it if it weren't for the frontend. I mean ****... they've done a frontend swap and the fenders are already beatup?

Well, anyone have any pics of this front end conversion done? I want to see how it looks. Does it bolt up for the most part?
You guys say it looks bad, but why?

So you guys say that the 98 front end on the 95 hatch is ugly, why? Is there a pic that someone can show me?
I just wanna see what it looks like for myself.

I did a search and the only hatches i found with a front end conversion were the ones with jdm integra. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=218802

I dont think any of you guys have seen a 92-95 hatchback with a 00' civic si front end! (prove me wrong with a pic)
