Front End Conversion Idea

i just thought about this whil browsing through a bunch of pictures of cars drifting. I don't know if it's been done yet but how about

a 240sx hatchback with a A31 Cefirio front end?

the a31 looks kinda close to the s13 silvia, hehe i derno i was just thinking about.

what do you guys and girls think? i think it might turn out okay, haha i'm going to consider that swap after i crash my front, cause i know repair the flip up lights will cost a pretty penny, and since my drift skills are still at the beginner level i can't guarantee that i won't crash haha.

the front end conversions i'm considering are the s13, s15, and now this one haha.

The A31 front is kinda like a R32 and S13 mixed. If your willing to do the customizing that its probably ganna need, go ahead. But isnt the A31 front a bit skinnier then 240sx?

i'm not exactly sure if it is skinnier or not...

i tried searching online to see if anyone has ever done this before, and i can't find anything.

i wonder how much it would cost to get the customizing done..if it turns out to be near the same price as the s15 front end, maybe i'll get it done. it's a big maybe though, my feelings could change.

*Edit* another thing that i was thinking abuot that would be different from what others usually do is do a s15 rear end conversion. haha that'll cost a lot tho; i think? i've seen one with the 98 240 tailight set up in the rear, it looked pretty nice.

S15 rear would look hideous on S13s.

Hey has anyone ever actually installed the s15 front end conversion that for sale on extremedimensions.com, i'm thinking about doing it. Just wondering was it pretty straight forward and was there any fabrications that had to be done. It should be pretty straight forward for 2 Grand don't cha think?

it all really depends on the quality of the fenders. If they aren't the best quality you might have some fitment issues and have to have a body shop work with them
