Cuz it pretty much is. It took him a while but a least he did it, and it looks to be done perfectly. So if someone asks can it bee done? Then know it might take years if you aren't throwin tons of cash at it.

No I read the part where he said he got a back half with an intact roof. The guy for some reason turned an s14 into an s15. I think it's on page 5 about the conversion. Either way it's super amounts of money to do that, and for what? I think they can get real s15's in trinidad any way.

I think you are missing the point, when you say you can get S15's there anyway.

Im not buying the fact that that is an s14 under all that. One because i dont believe anyone is stupid enough to do all that work to get some mutant piece of crap. Two because there is no documentation. One day he has a red s14 that most junk yards wouldnt take and then the next time you see it its a perfect S15. Why would you go through all that work and spend well over 30K jsut for to get and S15 that you can never get parts for cause everything has been shaved, cut, and destroyed.

Obviously you still didn't read the thread that breadbox posted.

You'd be suprised at what people waste their money on converting. Point and case:

^ This. ... and let me add that if one enjoys the work and the pride of ownership/workmanship, it's not a waste of money IMHO.

I read it i just dont believe it. There is no documentation of his work. Like i said he shows a beyond totalled S14 and then magically a perfect s15. I dont think anyone on here realizes how much work and how skilled you would have to be to accomplish something like that. If he did it more power to him and i hope he is happy with his project. The point i was trying to make is that he could have had the real thing for far less time, money, and effort.
