Has anyone on here tried to put Hatch front panels (bonnet, guards, grille, h'lights, bumper etc) on a Mighty Boy? I know the body side lines won't line up between Hatch & 'Boy but I'm interested if the bonnet & everything else will bolt on & line up.
I like the look of the round headlights. 8)

A guy I knew years ago crashed his MB and put all the Hatch panels on the front end. Nothing fit right and it looked like two cars stuck together.

It would be far easier (and look better) to use a series 1 MB grille and headlights:

Thanks Brayden, I've seen pics of the round headlight Mighty Boys before (didn't know they were the series 1) but I've never seen one in Australia so I assumed they were JDM only.
If that's the case I spose I might be able get parts from Yahoo Japan... ?

Yep, Import Monster or Jesse Streeter could get the parts. Alternatively you could find a local model car with 5" round lights and adapt the buckets/lights to fit, with a custom made fibreglass surround.
