Hey, I have an 89 240 hatch and would really like to put an S13 front end conversion on it. Have any of you done this or know a good place to get the peices? Also my buddy ownes a body shop and is pretty skilled at his work but I just don't know how much work it will be for him. Do the fenders, bumper, hood, and lights just bolt onto the frame or will there need to be some extensive modifying?

Seriously, its really easy to do. Everything is straight bolt on. I've done it 3 times now o_O. The only thing that takes a little brain power is rewiring the side markers and turning lights to work right. Taking of the OEM stuff is a bit of a pain at times, some of the bolts are a pain to get to, but once its off, the S13 stuff goes on real easy.
