Re: Front end conversions?
Good job on starting the project I think, I for once like both halves, Saabs and Mustangs, although if they wanted to change the front end, they'd have to extend the front wings by about 3 feet to sort of get there. But not a bad start. Can't say the two cars share a similar body at all but it's well worth a shot.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Re: Front end conversions?
Pretty pointless TBH, cars dont share any roots at all. All the dimensions will be out and youd never get the back end to look like a mustang with out extensive surgery, which on a convertible, can compromise strength.
If you want a mustang, buy one, or buy a dedicated kit for a suitable donor car such as the "elanor" kit for the sierra.
Saab and american muscle do not mix, may aswell turn a metro into a kenworth truck.

Don't like that at all. Not a big fan of Mustangs, Saabs are pretty enough on their own.

the cav front on a cally was quite nice as I remember

Definatley! Looks really well and looks like a Cavalier Coupe.Squig wrote:the cav front on a cally was quite nice as I remember
Dont like the Calibra front end on a Cavalier though, looks too daft, but at least these have a fair bit in common, saabs and mustangs dont.
