since im have a lot of trouble sourcing a hood reasonably priced and i have a spare Rd2 bumper. im debating this option let me know what u think...sorry about poor photo cropping on paint lol

 

I like this, go for it.

 

It will be diffrent, but a good sort of diffrent, i never liked the Rd2 Front.



What I have ALWAYS wanted to do, was source a RD2 Hatch, cause it would be alot nicer than a Rd1's they have that nice little built in spoiler!



That is what i want to see!

 

f you're going to swap an RD2 to Rd1 headlights swap the bumper (and hood) too, it'll be much easier and look cleaner when complete. RD1 front + RD2 rear = WIN!

 

thats what i plan on doing i just haven't found a hood under 400 shipped or within driving range yet..



even with this done im sure (if it looks decent) i can sell the bumper to someone in the same situation and still do the swap

 

i think you need to swap radiator supports also to get it to work smoothly.. but you can just rivet the radiator support in without the need to weld.

 

yea ur right i can get the other parts, just no hood yet. to do the swap u need



radiator support w/latch, you can just take top piece tho to avoid complete change out

headlights

corner lights

bumper

hood

bumper support bracket(optional but recommended)



its all swap and go. i believe the headlights even take the same plug. and u can just rivet the top piece in.

 

Thumbs up from me.
