Hi all. First post - figured you lot would be the people to ask regarding my little van...

Story starts off with it getting hit in the face by a truck tyre on the passengers side on the motorway...owch. smashed light, bent bonnet, bumper scratched up and the grill smashed. Front panel somewhat bent up on the light bracket.

Straightened the front panel up (ish.) so it all went back together, breakers parts and halfords rattle tins...

Then the other day i've had a slight lapse of concentration and hit a micra up the arse. identical damage to the tyre but on the drivers side, no cracked light but much more damage to the front panel. Nobody to blame but myself.

Either way its currently bodged up with cable ties and the grill and one screw holding the headlight in place so it sits almost in the right place.

Now heres the question - Im a MASSIVE fan of the MK5 zetec s. Been drooling over them scince i saw one in the blue/purple colour on the way home from school years and years ago! the shape below if this helps anyone?



Now given the wing on my drivers side was dented from the off, the van needs that, the bonnet, both lights, the grill, and ideally the bumper replacing. along with the top rail and light mounts on the front panel.

What i was thinking, was to get an arse ended/rolled/fucked in some way shape or form. zetec S/mk5 fezzy, and swap the front end over...maybe have a word with the local bodyshop about extending the side skirts to fit aswell for bonus points if it comes out looking nice...

Would this be possible? Highly impractical i understand, but the vans just had its cambelt done, and a new rear axel fitted, as such i plan to keep it for some time and would like it to look presentable. I'd be carrying out the work myself, im not all that great at welding - however im okay with spot welds.

From what i can see, everythings bolt off apart from the front panel and the top edge of the wings, and it looks like everythings held together with spots anyway. Its this or buy a MK4 and do the same with that, only one wings difference in it tbh..

Any help people could give would be greatly appreciated!
