Ive seen pictures of that car, it looks like a skyline with down syndrome. It has the front end, it has the rear end, and it has the wheels, but it is still noticeably NOT a skyline. He did the body work perfectly, and guess what, the lines STILL dont flow, and it looks like crap.

R32 into a S13 chassis looks like a DSM Eclipse....R33 Front end looks ok on a S14 but does not match body lines....

Font end conversions are stupid. They're a waste of time and money and almost never look once they're done. It puzzles me why people even do them or want to do them in the first place.

o.k i agree with some people on this post that most r32 conversions look like a$$, but most of the pictures on here have been r32 conversions on hatch's not coupes, but when people start to do the conversion on coupes it looks 1000 times better,because s13 coupes have that look of the r32. sure i might not look good to some people but it does to others. so if anyone here ever does an r32 conversion get a coupe or save up to buy the real thing because that conversion on hatches look like

here are some pics of a r32 conversion on a coupe done right from origin[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

From certain angles you can hide the mismatch of lines and poor shape of the car. Lets see it from a few other angles, I bet its an abomination.

IMO if you like a front end on a certain car go for it, who cares what everyone here thinks because they don't like anything other than stock, I really love stock clean s13s and s14s but its cool when someone makes somthing diff and out of the ordinary, like maybe r35 front s13 hatch?

Even if it's done cleanly it still doesn't match up. The front is too long for the 240.
Exactley

Also agree with Ian on the statement "buy a car that you like..without needing to change it!!!"

I don't get why people want to do the stock R32 front end at all. It looks like my mom's camry.
