Alright guys, as many of you may or may not know, I crashed the front end of my S14b back in september during a major drift competition, and my car has been down since. However, though various avenues I have been able to resurrect my car and now it's back with an S14a conversion! Here's some pics of it.

Hahaha, you'll be suprised when you hear this....I didn't take it to a body shop. &nbsp; Everything was done in my garage.

Good job on that. &nbsp;Glad to see it back up and it's cool you did it yourself.

Poor think looked so messed up with the bumper hanging off and fender all messed up in that vid of battle version. (that was you right?)

Good luck with the drifting <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> hope you don't hurt that pretty new face

Yeah, that was me in that vid. &nbsp;Something like this won't stop my from drifting so it's still good to go. &nbsp;When the next season starts up again I'll be right back out there. &nbsp;
Some of the guys from grip video got footage of the crash and of me sawing off the corner of my bumper afterwards. &nbsp;Well, now it's back so that's all that matters! &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

Deffinitly wondering on how much that costed you. &nbsp;I would be hella interested in buying a s14 for LESS frikin money, and tossin the MC front.

Thanks for the complements.

The grille can wait. it looks more like a hard core drift car without it anyway.

And as for the cost..considering the damage that was done...i got off easy. I had alot of hookups and alot of private tune. My dad was one of the top nistecs in the region and i have a neighbor who specializes in auto body so I was able to do alot of the work myself. the parts for the conversion plus collision parts cost me $1500. when i bought the car it was $7000 so over all I paid $8500 for an S14a basically. minus the tails, gauge and side skirts. who cars about that though. all iwanted was the front end.

as for the video, i'll see wht i can do. it seems that the website that hosted it is no longer there so i'l find someone who has it.

O wow, I thought you were gonna have some frame damage and to the chasis as well, so thats why I said nice body work. WELL, even I can take off a few bolts and slap on the fenders, bumper, lights, and hood! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;haha j/p, but what about the paint? Did you find the conversion parts the same color of your car, or did you get them painted?

in regards to the wiring...i just kinda did a guess and check on the connections until they worked, i know that one wire from the old hookup you dont use, my car is @ ht so i cant look at it, but its really simple
