S13 Silvia Front Clip Swap

Hi ive done some research on here and some other places and i wanted to reassure myself ive found this front clip on eBay and it intrested me because it includes the whole swap, front clip, engine, tranny, dash, pedals, firewall, the whole swap so i dont have to convert anything right, just get my old clip off and weld this one on??

here is the link

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-N...spagenameZWDVW

tell me what you think

p.s. i just bought a 92 s13 that what hit in the front but the only thing that was wrong was the hood and the lights and i got it for $600.00 sounded good to me!

thanks

eh... I still wouldn't have done it, to me actually seems like it would be more of a pain in the *** than swapping everything. Pull the engine out of the clip and swap it in your car. If you want the RHD your retarted, anways, your gonna need to cut and weld the donor firewall into your chasis so you have the places to put the steering column through and other things. If you want the s13 front, just swap body panels.
