Default wtf? hatch front on sedan EG

ummm ok so about a month ago i posted a thread about using hatch/coupe to make a new front end. so ive been getting the complete front end in good condition for the past month and i finally got a front bumper tonight off a hatch and i watched him pull it off, all of the parts came off of 95 civics, i have a 93 but the fenders do NOT line up at all almost. ive got the hatch corners,hood,bumper and fenders. i need help and search isnt helpin at all google cant even help.

i thought the only difference between the hatch/coupe and sedan was just the front bumper and it was just a swap one for the other type of deal?

The only correct way to do that swap is to use the rear half of the sedan fenders welded to the front half of the hatch fenders if I remember correctly. I have seen people just swap front bumpers and getting them to sort of line up ok though with a little fab work.

LOL.

No. Do NOT do this.
I don't know the correct way of doing this, but I know this isn't the one.
