Default Front body part for 1981 G1

I want the front of my 1981 G1 to look more realistic like the newer carts.
Has anyone ever installed a front body from another style or year cart?
I want it to look more realistic with headlights and grill.
Any ideas???
I have not removed the front section yet to see how it attaches.

body swaps are not real hard
my g-29 came without a body
and few g-29 bodys are to be found [too new]

so I fit a old ez-go body I got locally from a rusted out cart
the rear was not too hard a few minor cuts
mostly to clear the roof mounts
and a bit to clear the over sized tyres

front was about 2-3'' too narrow to fit and cover the tyres
so I split it down the center and added a bit of sheet SS off an old barbi grill cover
as that had about the same curve
an old clubcar roof was then added on top
to complete a frankencart

Thank you for the insight on your deal. Have any pics of the Frankencart?

I have a G2 front body on my G1. Not much involved in doing the swap.

You could just use your imagination and do something custom. See avatar

Very Cool! Thanks for sharing. I am looking for something like the EZGO with headlights just to look more like a truck.
Nice job.
