S14 with busted up front end

Ok so I have a 95 240sx and the front end is all screwed up. Right now I'm weighing some options.

1. Fix it and leave it as a stock Zenki style.
2. Fix it with Kouki parts.
3. Try something different and put S13 panels on it. Keeping the 180 style front end but not doing the pop-up lights instead just doing fixed lights in their place.
4. S15 conversion, but I don't really want to do this.

I'm really leaning towards the S13 front end, but am wondering what all is entailed in this conversion. One reason I'm really leaning towards an S13 front end, is I think it would look good, but another more important reason is the fact that S13's are in my local junkyard. S14's are not in any junk yards around here.

Any help or pictures would be great. I've tried searching on this, but can't really find anything. If you have a better idea for what I should type in to search for it, then post that.

Thanks

It's going to be #1 or #3. The Zenki front end is really growing on me whenever I see a nice one ^^^

#3 is an option, just because I'm odd and like to try different things, especially when parts are available.

i dont think the S13 front would flow with the curves of a S14. Thats just my opinion tho...

how are you going to put s13 front end on an s14? I highly doubt any of the fenders, hood and bumper and even the headlights would easily fit. Unless you know how to fabricate or know a great shop that can, i'd stay away from that. It'll cost you a grip.

the way i see it, my front is smashed in. So I'm going to need a new core support most likely. If I do, why not go with an S13 core support and also the S13 fenders. Possibly going as far as the S13 underneath from the front of the shock towers forward.

I have to agree on the S13 front, wouldn't flow with the rest of the car. Like welding a 90 mustang front end to the used bar of soap years ford wagons.
