The idea of a 300zx front on a 240 was an idea that failed horribly
The idea of the orange beast above, success.... time, money, and fabrication was present...
All in all, if u put effort where effort is due... and make the lines correct, it might turn out just well enought to pull it off.
And yes he is different!

370's no. If they are totaled they are totaled. The are 32000-45000 cars so 80 percent of used value to total. With that said they are being fixed or they are destroyed beyond repair.

i dont think your going to find "that car" very easy. why dont you just buy new panels? im sure its cheaper than the whole car.. but then you dont get the rest of the goodies..... tough choice maybe

All ready up to $3600 in parts alone if bought new... so I think, it would be better to buy a totaled/salvage car, then sell some goodies and possibly break even...

I want to stay nissan also... no honda crap!

What car is destroyed are u talking of... the 240 that now has no core support or the 370 that is totaled/salvaged?

Your doing this to hatch right?

Well if so I always thought a 2000-06 sentra front end swap would be cool. Its not much wider then a s13 and its pretty sleek. Plus it wouldnt cost much in the parts department.

Maybe ebay has 370 parts?
