Front end swaps? (300/Charger/Magnum)

A buddy of mine has a GTI that he almost converted to a JTI (swapping his front end with a guy that had a Jetta), so I was just curious if anyone has considered doing a front-end swap with any of these cars?

I've always kinda wanted the european 300C Touring (wagon). Swap the 300C front-end with a Magnum and you're set. I know it's complex - everything north of the front doors would have to be swapped, but it could still be cool.

A Magnum with the Charger front would be MEAN!

You can do the 300 swap easily. The charger swap would take alot of custom fab work and it probably wouldnt flow that well considering the differences in the body lines.

Do I get royalties for you posting my thread??? hmmm..


Anyway, Seans Magnum that had the 300 conversion looked great, everything seemed to line up, and as long as you have good painter, it should look perfect...

Thanks guys, I tried the search function first, but nothing came up. What makes the Charger front end so different? It just looks like a different body kit to my n00bish eye...

I just checked out pics of both the charger and the 300. the charger has that sharp line just over the door handles that travels the length of the car. the 300's and tha Magnums have a line that goes right through the door handles and looks more subtle.

I am wondering why they are not offering 300C wagon in Americas? They have it and do not sell it here. Just upscale HEMI one and they could still offer Dodge Magnum as sporty, lower model with different engines.
