Technically, you are 'silvia'ing the front end, not 'sil80'ing the front end, because wheres the 80?

i'd say pretty damn hard cause cause theres not many people with experience to call on for help

S13 front on S14 is a cut and weld job on the front wings, that'd be your biggest job as IIRC the bonnet should line up.

shane · 20-03-2008, 17:25

From what people have said who converted an S13 front end to an S14 (opposite to what you want, but similar work), the bonnet is wider/thinner (can't remember which). This means it's not a bolt on job, it reguires reworking the wings to get it to fit. Due to S13-S14 front ends conversions being done, it's possible.

Wrong way round, but should give an idea.

Did no-one else spot that this was a photoshop? The swage line doesn't meet up and the front end is a different colour!

Yeh i thought it looked odd too.

try 'faceonusa' they do loads of unusual conversions, not sure if they have a website though i have only heard of their amazing work in various american tuning magazines.
