ok so I am about to start a new project here soon and need a lil advice from you Silvia fans and drivers out there. I am wanting to get an S13 model and do the S15 headlight conversion. Now I saw one at Nopi that was pretty much EXACTLY how I want my car too look cept a few items, wheels, hood, paint skeem.

So anyways liek I said I wanna do an S15 Silvia front end conversion to my stock S13 i will be getting soon. What does it take to do this ype of conversion and how hard is it to do.

ANY and ALL input is welcome here, just as long as its positive and not trying to persuade me not to do it.

Thanx all and godbless

s13.5's are sexy no doubt about that.. ive done a couple sil-80 swaps not 100% sure about the s13.5 but if its anything like the sil-80 its a direct bolt on, sometimes u have to drill ur own holes though, nothing to serious..

Check CHARGESPEED and see what they have for it. I know that alot of people take the Chargespeed Widebody S15 kit and use that for the conversion... I'm just waiting until I get stationed in Japan and then gonna pick up the real deal though.... I'll find a pic of the conversion though...

Yeah I figured I would do it myself anyways just for the pure enjoyment of it. Also it would eb oen hell of a learning experience on my part. Only thing I need to do before I start thsi project is Sell my car i have now. Once thats taken care of I can focus on teh 240 project. I have pictures of what I want my car to pretty much look like. Ill upload them on my myspace and post a link here so all can see.
