    No freaking way. I bought my front end swap and was looking for a vid on it. Plus there’s no better z31 youtuber than you.

    I owned an 87 and always thought the Zenki front was better, it's just got that 80's style that the car needs.

    To avoid swiss cheesing your headlight buckets, make a paper template of the bucket hole (s) from the parts car, using the crossmember spot weld flange edges as a X-Y reference. Of course this only works if you have the parts car as a source. Great video!

    The fitment issue on the front lower lip is a well know issue , in your case with the zenki fenders it makes the gap even wider.

    Hey dude could you do a walk-through of setting a distributor correctly. Like if it's removed and how to reinstall correctly. Because the gear will fit any way but not point correctly if not aligned. Thanks man.

    The bottom plate on the headlight seems to be what's preventing it from seating all the way. Could you not remove that instead of cutting the body? Or is the lens of the headlight bulged out too?
