My silvia conversion, slowly getting there

Hey guys, I haven't been on here for a while, but here are a view pictures of my project. I'm wiring the headlights tomorrow and picking up my fenders also for $100. I am also rebuilding the 300zx calipers so I can do my 5 lug swap and install those Enkei wheels. I will post more pictures as I complete more things. I know I need a drop bad, monster truck!

Got the rear five lug conversion finished yesterday, didnt get a chance to take any pictures, I just went with s14 rotors for now. I am still rebuilding my z32 brakes and rebuild kits are becoming harder and harder to find.

For the front conversion I am waiting on my order for the spindle nut, those are hard to find too or Nisaan has to special order them. more updates to come.

Heres another shot from the other day, I am working on the Front brake conversion this weekend, I will try to get pics up. And my powder coated 300 caliper, I did this my self, went with this boring color cause I dont want them to stand out or anything. More pics to come

I like color of the caliper along with the wheel, It won't draw attention to that single component.
