Unanswered: Manta Sportwagen?

I was aimlessly reading threads to absorb data, and came upon this thread:

Has anyone ever seen or done a Manta front end grafted to a Wagon? Maybe a good way to thin out a fleet of parts cars.

Look in my gallery, there is a red & black wagon with a Manta front and the side windows filled in and made into a Sedan Delivery. We did one and it wasn't too big of a job, we cut the 1900 (Ascona) wagon just in front of the middle of the inner fenders and did the same to to the Manta and grafted the Manta front snout onto the Wagon and used Manta Fenders. Hooking up the headlights requires a little thinking going from the single bulb to the quad Manta lights, but it is not rocket science.

I didn't even realize that I had posted the sedan and not the wagon. But to tell you the truth, I really like the looks of the sedan better.
