WTB: [USA] BG front end pieces

93egtinlr · 13-04-2006, 10:47 AM

as I may have mentioned in another post I am in the market for a front end conversion on my US Spec Escort....specifically I want to convert it to the popuplight style Astina front end

for this I will require the following:

front bumper with support
light assemblies with mechanisms
indicators
hood, preferably a custom one...why not go all the way
and both front fenders or wings or guards I think they may be called in different places

or and this is another possibility
the front end from a BA 5 door...mainly because that has a nice agressive look to it

anyways of course I am looking for someon willing to ship to me here in the US at my expense, as if that needed to be said

thanks a bunch
Mike

meh not that agressive.. y not get the hardtop front end???

hatch front end would suit that car better...not as long for 1...and also mate...your gonnna pay stack and stacks of $$$ just to getthe stuff frieghted to you...i asked one of the guys at work...and he said he doesnt wanna guess how much it is...

best bet will be talk to maybe rupewrect bout importing stuff straight from japan to you...will work outcheaper as well...you wont be able to find any of the BG stuff over there though...a lil bit of the BA hatch stuff...but loads of BA hardtop stuff...

hope that was a hand...

Considering all Astina's slope down more that the Laser/Escort good luck fitting either.

the funny thing about the sloping front end is that for the most part it is all bodywork

if you are hell bent on doing this modificatio, i'd suggest looking for a BG GTX front cut, that way you get the body parts (which will need work) and a turbo engine + ecu to swap into your engine bay. that way you get 2 things in the 1 package. japan or the UK would be the best place to look.
