E39 Touring retro mod - photoshop request

[oldsoul]

Dear friends

Having got my hands on a TIG welder, I feel like God and would like to restyle my favourite E39 wagon with cues from the past. Comments are welcome.

Before I get chopping, could one you good mates handy with photoshop please show me how a E39 would look with an E9 front end and a rear from either the E9 or E10?

Images are available in this photobucket:

Thanks in advance

Bump! Anyone?

I'm gonna go with no

Thanks Curtis. The lines do look off. Oh well. Good job.

Curtis, I wonder though if the grille is hanging too high to the bonnet line? Maybe if it was a bit lower and there was some metal above the grille?

I doubt it tbh, and to be fair, the lines of the cars pretty much limit them to that position. You'd need to get very clever with an english wheel if you wanted to fill the area above it. I think its just the overall shape of the two cars clash way too much. Putting an e9 on an e34 might have worked, or an e46 on an e39, but the age gap between these two would just clash way too much
