Well I got a wicked deal on a 97-98 silvia frontend so I bought it.  
heres what I got  
hood  
headlights  
fenders

now I am wondering if I need anything else or will this just bolt on to my 95?I know the grill is diffrent and possibly the bumper any help would be great.

How much did you pay? You’ll need a bumper, and maybe the bumper support, but I’m sure you could rig it up. You’ll have to wire the headlights as well. Theres a few other minor things, but I’m sure you can handle it! Awesome conversion man… good luck!

There was a guy on the boards who did this to his 95-92 240. I don’t remember who, and I can’t find the exact thread. The car had a bunch of threads trying to sell it. It was gold and an automatic, if that causes anyone else to remember.

I got everything for $350 cnd no tax or shipping  
I have the projector headlights with all the pigtails everything is in wicked shape

from what I have gathered I need a bumper,grill,L/R stay,l/R bumber bracket,seal and spacers I may possibly need a head light support bracket as well but I am not to sure on that yet.

Shipping would be a bitch since I live in N.B but I think I am going to sell it once I do the conversion.
