hey guys, I'm totally new to the 240. Hopefully the members here can offer me with some help. Recently, I bought a s15 complete car half cut with the rear end. I am planning on buying a 95-98 240 and dropping in the drivetrain. I also received the complete front end which includes the headlights, front bumper, fenders and hood. Basically the car was cut behind the dash and I was provided with everything other then the doors, roof and rear panels.

I need to know 2 things:

first, will the fenders, hood, and headlight go onto to the 95-98 240 with minor mods? Remember, because this is a half cut, I do have the fender rails and chassis legs, rad support etc. I understand that most people buy a conversion kit. In my case, I was hoping to use the oem fenders. Let me know what type of problems I will encounter when trying to bolt on the pieces from the s15 donor car onto the 95-98 240.

secondly, I received a full set of coilovers from the s15. Will this set of coilover fit onto a a 95-98 240? If not directly, can it be modified to fit? Perhaps spacers are needed?

thanks for all your input. I really want to know what I am getting myself into before starting such project.

merry christmas to all.
