You want to do this, give the body shop $5k and the FD front clip...

That looks great!

Wouldn't do it on my own car, but I like it nonetheless.

It looks like an FC hit a FD so hard it fused togther

I just dont think the lines fit, It is a nice job none the less but the boxy to round is odd

That looks like the front of Pan Speed, pic is to small to tell for sure. I am sure that required lots of work, you would need to buy the oversized fenders to match up with the FD bumper. or maybe that bumper is specifically made to fit a FC but I doubt it. Nobody in Japan spends that much on a car without putting overfenders on it.

Yeah, but the Silvia and 180SX had the same chassis. No expensive custom work required. Just unbolt old, bolt on new. Sweet!
