92 CX HB wrecked front end! Conversion or stock rebuild?
I've got a completely stock 92 CX hatch and I just put the front end under the bed of a Silverado! Basically I destroyed the hood, passenger fender, bumper, radiator support, along with the radiator and AC. There's also a bit of sheetmetal damage where the front of the fender bolted down. Frame and bumper support still good, and in fact only the only damage to the bumper shell is broken mounting holes.
So I have 2 choices: rebuild it stock or do a conversion.
I have access to a new stock hood, and at least one (maybe both) fenders are ok for conversion purposes.
I need to know what kind of conversions i can do here. I know i could do an integra front end, and I've heard 00 Si, but I don't have parts for either of these. What else can I do?
I'm not looking to spend anything like $2500 on a JDM kit, nor do I even care. I really just want to get this car looking good again. Only reason I'm considering a conversion is to raise the street value. I plan on selling it either way, and I know people around here offer alot for a hatch with a conversion (even a CX).
I need advice on what kind of conversions are possible, as well as what parts I would need, and if any of this is gonna be worth it when I sell the car.

water pump
Decided to put a stock front end on. Haven't bought any fenders or a bumper yet.
Since I tore the car up i'm thinking of changing the water pump and timing belt myself. Do I need any special tools for this?
