blue-via!

Okay, with my stalled t12 bluebird sr turbo project in the garage, I'm currently looking at a s12 silvia to buy. when looking at the two cars ('86 t12 bluebird vs '86 s12 silvia), I notice the bluebird is less ugly frontal ;)

I'm just curious on anyone doing modifications with their s12 front.. I'm looking at a convertion like the european rps13 -> japanese rs13? (flip > "reagular")

As the year, engine and visuals of the cars match pretty well except for the model, I'm curious on wether this modification actually is possible. As I havent looked at a s12 in real life yet, I have no idea what the headlight mountings and such look like though.. (anyone wanna post some pics from within the enginecompartment, down at the headlights?)

anyways, to get the idea out, here's a pretty stock s12:

and here's my t12:

what you guys think?

id say the s12 is far better looking. uve just picked a bog std early s12 and compared it to a pic of a later higher ranged bb.

s12's are awsome, but I can't say I like the fliplights...

I'm talking about just moving the headlights and hood over, then have the fenders welded to fit the new front.

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_img_a/480845_78_full.jpgyou could convert to a non pop up headlight like this.

Never seen a BB before but it looks ugly compared to S12. Looks like an econobox with sporty trim. At least S12 looks like a Jap sportscar.

how's that done, Magnum? what headlights is it?

weld and mold in the pop up covers to the hood. find another car with headlights you like and mount them. then trim the grill to fit. I'm not sure what car the lights are from.

late 70's, and early 80's Celica, Celica/Supra; or the S110
