That was exactly my thought as soon as I saw that picture.

That overhang is a bit too much. I like the later 87-88 Monte and Cutlass front clips with the rectangular headlights. That boxier front end might match up better.

If forming plastic were easier (or something I knew how to do) taking this idea and applying it to the civic might work out.

Bringing this back up since I just saw this at the junk yard

I'm guessing stoppies are possible in that car.

Yeah, we were snagging parts for four of our Mercedes projects so leaving no stone unturned:
