anyone here have an s13 coupe skyline conversion?

I am seriously planning on more or less converting my s13 coupe to an r32 skyline, including an rb25 or 26 swap, and an exterior makeover. however i plan to keep the pop ups. I have seen this done, and it looks awesome, hardly recognizable from a real r32. what I am wondering particularly about, is if anyone else has the same thing in mind, or perhaps already has one done, so that i could find out where in hell does one find exterior molds and so forth...as well as skyline rear quarter panels...hard to find. email me.

thanks

Looks good, but still easy to tell it apart from a skyline.

ALRIGHT so it doesnt look EXCACTLY like a freeking skyline...jeez...however, the dimensions are nontheless pretty damn close as far as the rear is concerned....and i have to say that in my opinion it looks a whole lot better than stock lights...but anyways....i dont know where to look for stock R32 rear spoilers...and another issue was fitting an r32 rear quarter panels....the one in the pictures didnt have that modification, so it still wasnt convincing enough....you see i am a skyline fanatic, but i simply dont have the budget to get one from motorex...besides i like the s13 and it's balanced, fr layout and lighter weight....so im just making a compromise in between, thats all
