cheap, very cheap s13 silvia front end, but will it work? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

due to my recent investigation i have noticed a few similarities between a 90ish stanza headlight and a s13 silvia head light. wouldn't it b cheaper to slap on a stanza headlight since they are basically alike?

You still need fenders and a hood.

A colt has the same front end as well...

they look a like... but no more than other headlights. silvia's are much shorter, and a bit longer. also, later model silvias had projectors. even if you do get fenders, hood, and bumper, you're still gonna have to make the stanzas fit, which means body work, which means it's cheaper to get a silvia conversion instead. sorry to be a kill joy, but it's just the way it is. other than that, go for it, it's your car and money.
