ok! I know! alot of people think its ugly. but i like it. i came across a nice 280zx 10 anniversary front for dirt cheap. i have always wanted to do it just never seem logical. but since i can get the front i figured why not.. well i want to try it but have no clue as too how hard its goin to be. and what exactly it will take to do this? if anyone can help out i would appreciate it much.. thanx nick

thanx but i was lookin some info on doin this project. seems kinda interesting to me and i wanted to see how hard it actually is!

Well you would need customized fenders, hood,bumper, and probably some fender flares to make it look good.

Either way not exactly a bolt on coversion and you are looking at a lot of costly bodywork unless you can fabricate the panels yourself. My guess would be upwards of $1k for it to look decent.

thas all fine and dandy, but i can read japanese and it doesnt show what has to be cut, and all that stuff.

its not a direct swap from the og fenders and hood and such... its all custom made to mount on a s13...

go to the junk yard find the front end and you will have to fab it all up your self...

if you need to ask what needs cutting... do a different front end.

that's not a 280zx front. at all.

240z/260z/280z front. and it looks a hell of a lot better than a 280zx.
