Unhappy How do I do these things?

O.K. I need to know how I can do a front end conversion on my ol' school hatch (89 DX). I'm still deciding on which front to choose but I've narrowed it down to either a 92 Civic front end or an 90-93 Integra front end. Here are a few pictures of these conversions. You decide on my car's fate. Also I need to know how to do an auto to manual tranny conversion. Please help me Obbie-Won Canobbie your my only hope! (I probably spelled that wrong!)

I'm guessing that I'm going to need the fenders, hood, headlights, and bumper to do eitherone of these bumpers. I have half of the money needed left from my court case (long story) and from the accident I was in (rear ended by an Explorer) to do a conversion I just need the "how-to" from you.

You will need all the things you listed including the front core/radiator support and some modification where the fenders and doors meet. But you have to admit the conversions you posted do look like ASS!!! Conversions can look alright but the two you posted SUCK!!!

I know but they were the only ones I could find so I was forced to use them. If you ever have free time try to find some better ones and post them. :smoka:

the 92 civic front end looks more natural, but I personally I like the looks of the 89 front end. For the price of a conversion you can make a 89 civic mad fast and look good. just my .02
