Making a 1st gen look like a 3rd gen

[ks10308]

Hey guys, just out of curiosity, would it be possible to make a 1st gen (2000) look like a 3rd gen expy? Are the parts interchangeable or does there need to be serious mods? Thanks

If you have enough $$$ anything's possible lol. Will it be a direct fit, no. You'll probably have quite a bit of fab work to do to make it fit just right. Definitely not impossible though.

Wouldn't be a whole lot different than this.

It seems like 2nd gens are smaller then 1st gens. I don't know the exact measurements, or if the parts are interchangeable, but a face job would be the biggest thing.

Hope this helps a little!

I was thinking of a little bit different mod. I want to mod my expy to look like a navigator.

I know it's not exactly what you're talking about, but it might be close enough to give you a starting point.

Hope this helps

there have a been a couple of people that have done 2nd to 3rd gen...fab work is needed...aligning things up is required

+1

However I only wanted a partial conversion. I like the expe front end but like the navigator rear end.
