I've done this.  Somewhere around 5-6 years ago, I submarined a T100.  I
found a Scirocco at a wreckers and they cut the front end off for me.  The
new front end was grafted onto my car.  No problems to speak of, but I would
suggest you find one that is the same paint color as yours.  The paint guy
didn't strip off the old color, so now I can see red at some of the hidden
areas.  If you're curious to see it (not that there's much to see), I'm in
the Portland area.
