not sure if anyones ever even tried this before... i was thinking of putting the front end of a eunos cosmo onto a FC 2nd gen rx-7
heres my photoshop version of what might be posible... donno if the cosmo front is to wide or what, it does look as if the lines wouldnt quite flow properly. posibly making the sides of hte car more rounded might make the "look" flow with the car....

I'm pretty sure its some work, but definately possible. fiberglass, bondo, cutting and welding and probably custom brackets.
but if you get the front clip, you get motor as well!!! Or try to buy a cosmo. Just having a comso is kool in my opinion.

i believe the hood/front is wide on the cosmo than the FC, you would need to do a lot of cutting and fab work, but in the end it would be a really unique conversion. it looks like it would really need good side skirts to blend the smooth curvy front of the cosmo to the angular FC rear.

how do you get a cosmo into the US? doesnt somebody in the NW have one registered? (saw pics from AB festival)
I was looking at cosmo clips on ebay and thought it would be cool to buy a front and rear clip and put them back together. but who knows how hard it would be to license.
