Default front of prelude to body/back of a civic...?

At my local insurance company salvage yard,they havea 97 prelude H22A 5spdwhich was rear endedand hasaworking engine/tranny, and they also have a 94 civic hatchthat is smashed in the front and there is no damage behind the firewall. Would it be possible to put the front clip of the preludewith the engine insideon to theback end of the civic hatch? Price doesn't concern me, because this is just a question so far, lol. I was walking around the yardon fridayand saw those 2 cars next to each other, and the idea just popped into my head. I thought itwas cool.

What's the point in that? jk man... I know what you meant.

Front end conversions are (sort of) common; I don't think they're that hard as long as you know how to weld.

it won't quite fit properly and it will look a little rough in the finished product

i dont think a car that is welded together in the middle would be very safe, yeah itd be sick, itd be alot of work, and itd be fast wit the H in there, maybe its doable, try it out though. Like ej6 said, not sure how well th front edn of the Lude would line up the Civic
