R32 in a hatchback.......?
As we all know that never really happened but what if it did what would it look like, well i my newest quest i am going to andswer that question by taking my 1991 240sx hatchback and turning it into a R32... how you ask..... Well basically 4 conversions that will be done all at once, a RHD conversion, a RB20det swap and then a Front body conversion( i.e. fenders, hood, front bumper and headlights....)and then a complete rear end and complete suspension swap..... and it will all be done by the end of January... the only thing you will be able to to tell it was a 240 would be the hatch and the taillights( for now later on i am going to do the 180 tail converson) and i almost forgot wide body rear fenders... so it should be pretty interesting to say the least....
Please give me your thoughts on this project..... i will be posting lots of pictures over the next 2 months, once all the parts come in.....

there are a few cars out there that will do a direct front end replacement using the headlights, left and right front quarter panel, front bumper (grill if it isn't integrated with the bumper) and the hood.
I know some of the nissans do it, VW golf/gti/cabrio and Jetta are directly interchangeable, and some hondas swap easily too.
this should be a nice project, all a matter of taking your time on it and lots of money. limited custom fabrication as well.
Will you be making it the AWD? or RWD only?
