Well, sorta...

How feasible would it be to convert the front endof an RD1 to an RD2? I realize that a hood, bumper cover, lights, and a pair of fenders would be in order, but would this pieces just bolt into (for the most part) the RD1 mounting locations? Would you even be able to get away using the RD1 fenders? I have NO intentions of doing this, had this thought like 5 minutes ago and just wondered how easy it would be.

 

I think it would be a PITA

hood is different, lights are, other bumber mounting etc.

 

I'm never the guy to say this, but I know for sure there are at least 5 threads on this. Between, HP, HA and RD.

 

It would be very easy...buy my rd2 smile.gif

 

Yup, there was just a thread on this last week, I think.

 

this seems like alot of work...i think it would be damn cool though

 

While this is an old topic and a simple search would have given you all the info you need.... you will have to get the following.

Front bumper,
Lights,
Hood,
and the radiator support.

The mounting positions are different for the lights and the hood latch, hence the reason for the radiator support. The front fenders are the EXACT same for both the RD1 and RD2

 

well you guys and gals ready for this well my ride is listed as a 2002 will it is not is a 1996 when i bought it used i guy before me convert the frount to the rd2 and left the rear as rd1 neleass to say i liked it and rolled till some drunk tailgated me at stop light last year. so i had the option to change it and i did parts cost like 500 and labor was a grand but his insurance pickup the tab.

for the frount you must chang

1,bumper
2.light,and mod the jacks for them to a rd2
3.frount panal " where the hood latch is connected to and the headlight
4.hood
5. cornnors

the rear need more work

1. the whole rear quarter R&L sides removed and spotwelded
2. rear bumber
3.rear pannal behind the bumper

and that is realy it

the back here in korea with paint is about 900 usd
and the frount because there is more involed about welding to the frame and such
its 1300

Here are some pice of a swap done in Korea

 

My question is WHY would you want to do it? The Gen1 front end is so much nicer looking than the gen2!
