Okay I was sitting at work thinking which I shouldn't be doing lol ...what if I take the grain build of an Imperial Oktoberfest beer instead of lagering it with the normal Oktoberfest yeast swap it out for a Belgian Abbey ale yeast.. I searched around and couldn't find anything wondering have someone done it yet.... any pointers or advice is welcome.

Wouldn't that be a dubbel? Styles are very different - a marzen is going to have a clean malt flavor, where the Belgian yeasts are going to do their thing with the esters and phenols. Nothing wrong with it, of course, and I love Belgian styles for their yeast character.
Thanks i will give it a go and report back when finished
