I saw an article a few years back with a turbo A14 Datsun 1000 coupe. It
looked real nice but i dont like the front suspension. It still has the
dinosaur leaf springs up front. Which means if you change the engine, your
probably going to have to upgrade the brakes. And i have no idea wot the
best option is for that. But my personal opnion is A14/15 with sum work
etc....
