    thanks man!

    yep the front ends can be swapped because they share the same frame. kinda tricky though. the entire fron would have to be replaced. fenders, hood, center garnish, grillle, headlights and clearance lights, bumper. oh and the lines up front might not flow well with the lines in the back so it might be a good idea to swap out the rear end too. that means cutting out the quarter panels at the top of the c-pillars and welding in the new quaerter panels, replacing the trunk, replacing the rear bumper, and replacing the taillights. i doubt if these parts will ever make it to the US but if you've got the budget for it, all of the parts are available here (either brand new or surplus) and you can have it shipped over to you in texas.

    oh and the lip is a custom design fabricated using fiberglass.

    the bolts are buried under a leyer of putty. then the putty is painted over. there are about 12 bolts on the front of that front lip and even more underneath.

    4 months must have seemed like an eternity, but props to the shop that did the work. Awesome work considering the initial damage to the body. Did you figure that piece you salvaged off the old engine?
