decisions decisions.. whats your input? help me out!
soo i just bought a 95 240sx today.. its got some problems.. but nothing major.. runs great.
heres the deal- its got some pretty bad dents and is a LITTLE rusty on the drivers side front fender and the paint on the hood is peeling as well as a dent on the left side(facing the car) right above the headlight that leads a little bit onto the pass. fender..
the rear of the car is nearly perfect.
okay so with that stated.. lets say i have almost 800$ to repair and what not.. should i just save the 800$ and put like 2-3 paychecks into buying an s15 front end conversion.. which will take care of both fenders hood AND peeling bumper... then have it painted? or should i just buy the stock hood/ fenders and have it painted.. but then later have to save for the s15 conversion/paint (again).. OR just have it painted with dents and shit.. then buy the conversion.
paint isnt much of an issue.. my brothers got friend who paints so ill just need to buy paint
if anyone actually took the time to read that^.. thanks

like they say do it right the first time. if you are dead set on the s15 front conversion then just save your time and money and do it all at once
if you are open to options then I would scope around for used paint matched parts instead of painting also how bad are the bad dents. sometimes the paintless dent removal wizard will surprise you with what they can do.

yeah thats what im torn on.. because i plan on going all the way with everything i do on this car. im really trying not to half ass it. but like i said the paint isnt too big of a deal cause ive got a friend who paints.. but as for the dents its not like one or 2 huge nasty dents.. its just a bunch of little ones, almost like creases or something.
but ill have to check out that dent remover thing.. havent heard of it. thanks!

oem s14 aero. fuck the conversions. it's a lot more work than you are anticipating. leave the s15 front where it should be. on an s15.

if you reallllllly wanted to do a front end conversion, i'd say swap a Kouki front end on. but like i said before, go with the Navan Aero. IIRC there was someone on here selling the full kit not too long ago. not sure if he sold it or not...

yeahh the more i look up these aero kits the more id rather go navan than the s15 front... hmm. i guess itll come down to availability and prices for the most part.. i think im gonna end up going with aero

if i were you i'd put the pic nismob14 posted on my desktop and use it for motivation. it's actually inspiring me to make plans for building an s14 track car...
