SO after roaming around on HT the other day I saw a veruy clean ef with a crx front end swapped onto it. It was very inspiring and I know it has been done before long ago but what I am asking for is that I cannot find this picture anywhere again after looking for it this whole week. If anyone has a picture of one of these could you please post it thanks guys.

 

Heres a couple pictures of my friend's hatch with CRX front.


A little beat up now

 

crx front end is much nicer....

so lets add some tech to this thread:

What is needed to do the conversion?

 

Full front end from a CRX. Welded front fender near the bottom since the civic doesn't use plastic skirts.

HEadlights are the same, hoods are the same. Fender, bumper and some good welding is all you need IIRC.

 

+ CRX bumper support, and corner lights. The fenders don't HAVE to be welded. The side molding piece should keep them together.
Welding is better though.

A good welder and some light coats of bondo should be good enough. Body work never is perfect even from factory.

 

How come its a little beat up now?

 

i'd like to do this to the sedan. but remember the hatch/sedan are wider than the crx. i know for a fact the crx to hatchback conversion is a direct bolt on. i think the sedan you would need to cut fenders.
