Hi guys, I not a a SX owner... yet, but im thinking about a building a cool project. Building a Sil-Eighty.
I was wondering if anyone has any idea on where to get Silvia parts? does anyone know a good importer.
And how much would you pay for a s13 with front accident damage? any examples and prices you would pay?
if you not sure what a sileighty is here is a good article on how and why they were made http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sileighty
I'm doing this exact conversion in the next few months.
the parts are kinda pricey to bring in.
You're looking at about R10k-R15k more or less. then you still need to get shipping
Lights - R2500-3000 (depending which ones you get)
Fenders - R2200-2800
Bonnet - R1500-2000
bumper - R2500-3000
grill - R500-700
So ja. its not that bad, but the shipping is gonna kill you unfortunately.
hope this helps.
also rather go for a non accident damaged SX. your gonna save yourself heaps of trouble.
cause 9/10 times there is gonna be something bent that shouldn't be.
laters!
cool thanks for the info, are you using a importer or sourcing the parts yourself?
Also does anyone out there know what the stance is on getting a code3 cars imported, as in a car that is not on the road (like a car for parts). I know importing working cars from japan/anywhere else is a HUGE ball ake but no one can tell me what the the traffic think of imported code 3 cars.
