need some quick advice.

ok guys i just got my tamiya s-13 and 180sx, i want to covert the s-13 front onto the 180sx and the 180sx front onto the s-13, how hard will this be? both cars are the same length, same body lines. i am thinking this whould be very simple, but these kits where so expensive and rare i don't know if i want to, i did a search and came up with somthing that helped alot.but what do you guys think?????

Robert.

i just cut both kits and reglued them together the way i wanted them, i used styrene to hold the fronts in place, i had to use regular plastic glue cuz i dont have any super glue, but even though i used styrene to hold it together and make it strong it is still very wobbley. if you guys want pics i can get some but they will be blurry.
