NO.
Well...it could be done BUT the leading edge of the doors doesn't match up with the trailing edge of the fenders. The door fronts have a different angle.
Why mess up a perfectly good S13 with an ugly S14 front though?

An S13 convertable can only be modded with a Silvia front. The only way to add an S14 or S15 front is with a fabrication or a kit. The stock fenders dont match up.

Like I said
They are available but necessary as the stock stuff just AINT direct bolt-up items.

Just a thought... how about getting aftermarket S14 fiberglass fenders, then having some good body shop rework the trailing edge to match up?
Now that I think about it, working with fiberglass can be a *****. REWIND << How about stock S14 fenders, reworked at a body shop? I'm thinking adding/cutting/bending metal etc. would be easier than fiddling with fiberglass?
Just a thought... or 2.

s15 front end conversion would look swEEter and be just about the same price. Anything is possible withthe right amount of $$, i'm sure a shop could do that, it'd just take some time and money.

Guess what class i'm taking up this quarter...
AUTOBODY AND COLLISION!
I bet a s14 front end can be had for WAY cheaper that a s15 conversion, guestamation is around $250 for the front end.
