EF9 front end on a EF sedan?!?!
 

I'm really wanting to swap my EF sedan over to RHD, but I am having zero luck finding a front end to do it with! I've found a TON of EF9(hatch) RHD front ends... so I was wondering, if you all think it'd be possible to swap the entire front end off a hatch onto my sedan? I'm in school for auto body, so I have the knowledge and tools needed to do this, but I am unsure if it will mount up right... any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks

Change your name, and save your money.

import the sedan SiR. dummy

good luck tho

Re: EF9 front end on a EF sedan?!?!
 

I would just import the SiR sedan but that would take to much paper work and money... I would love to have a true SiR though!

as well as i....and i forgot, the jdm crx front end wont work, unless you do some fab work.

h-t for the win or in my world loss

Re: EF9 front end on a EF sedan?!?!
 

at least he's going for the sedan, Id rather have the sedan over the hatch or crx anyday, especially swapped, dropped and boosted... SEXY

Re: EF9 front end on a EF sedan?!?!
 

I would like to atleast drive a right hand drive car sometime. To do something like this wouldn't you just have to cut out the firewalls and swap in the jdm one?

More to another country, problem solved

sounds like that auto body school isn't doing much for you then.

take measurements of the sedan firewall and that of the hatch and find out if they can be swapped. or try using the schools resources and look it up.

sedan = longer, hatch front end won't line up right.

provided that you take measurements first, you could cut the sedan in half and weld the hatch front clip on there.

personally I would look into swapping the firewalls and then getting a jdm 4dr front end. one piece headlight ftw!

in that case....i have 2 sedans for sale....one's a dx with some mods and the other is a bone stock lx. both are burgundy, and 89's. il have them in the classifieds sometime tonight

Re: EF9 front end on a EF sedan?!?!
 

You've pretty much got it right here. Firewalls can be swapped around, but that's about it. Civic hatch/crx fenders have the same rear shape to them and will interswap only on other crx/hatch's. The only semi-close thing sedans and hatch's share are the filler lip...shape of the fender is different at the windshield point, even the hoods are supposed to be different (although I can't lay claim to knowing the hood issue first hand, all the rest of the stuff I know from experience).

I was just throwing the question out on a whim... I haven't done to much looking into it myself due to me not having money, or time to do much but work and school... I'm planning on just swapping out the sedan firewall with the hatch firewall... these should be similar enough for me to custom fit them together. Also another question on the RHD swap... do I need to find a front clip that has all the steering stuff on it? Or can the LHD steering rack be fab'd to make it work?

Re: EF9 front end on a EF sedan?!?!
 

dude, make your life a whole lot easier and just import the SiR sedan front clip

Re: EF9 front end on a EF sedan?!?!
 

I have been trying to find one for the last month... the only luck I've had, is I've found a lot of them for the CRX and one or two for the EF9... I've asked and looked everywhere! Importers, H-T, here, and I haven't found anything...

Re: EF9 front end on a EF sedan?!?!
 

I'd probably say it's cause sedan front clips wouldn't bring much buyers.

Re: EF9 front end on a EF sedan?!?!

Re: EF9 front end on a EF sedan?!?!
