Hey im nw to this forum and never relly used one before so ithought i try it. :)

I recentley bought a 190 240sx S13 Hatchback.
Im not really familiar with these cars, this will be the first one i will work on.
I bought the shell for $200 and they guy told me that he did a s15 front end convesion.
Im not sure how a s15 conversion looks like, so i need help identifying if it really is s15 conversion. :confused:

If it is not a s15 conversion, than what conversion is it? Did he even conver it to anything? :ohno:
Any help will be greatlyapprciated, i have big plans for this car.

i do not see any cuts to the radiator support for the head lights. and thefront top corners are untouched. so chances are he did not finish, or do the conversion. The car body looks stock at the moment, save the missing parts. but the picture of the white car you posted is the front end the seller was referring to. Try doing a google search, you may hear that alot on forums but almost any thing you can think of has been talked about before.
