Looks like some info I can use.

The 1200 his home. Now I gotta organize the garage... Remove everything that is not needed then I can strip the car to nothing.

Jeez, I was hoping to see it this summer. But I look forward to the thread.

Never know... If the Datsun billet stuff and LS valve covers sell well. It could be drive-able again by August. I wont make a bet but I will sure give it a go.

Man, that would be awesome. It's been so long since I've seen a 1200 fastback in the flesh. An old friend is also putting the finishing the touches on his road race 1200 coupe, it'd be good to talk him into pulling it out for the show as well. You never know.

The 1200 superman brought me these yesterday.

iPhones SUCK and not in the good way!

If I could only get rid of her garage sale stuff!! I love seeing the car every time I open the garage though..

[Mattndew76]

Pulled the glass today to see how much rust had set in around the window sill front and back. Surprising nothing through at all......

The wing windows on the other hand wow scary thin spots..

The rear window trim is in pristine shape. Im not going to be reusing it so....... Gotta sell it to add to the car budget

Found me some MK1 GTi fresh steel panels for doing my fender flares..


$25.00 each fender.

Nice flare choice. Reminiscent of Joshes 510 over on Ratsun with MK1 and MK2 flares I believe.

[Mattndew76]

Those look so good on the 510. Huggs the tires great!

[dodgydan]

yep. love metal flares. I have a set of those hangin on the garage wall and a set of the dodge Omni ones aswell, Omni's are about an inch wider. will look wicked on the 1200

[Mattndew76]

I will have to see if I can find some Omni steel panels.

[Mattndew76]

OK... I ordered my GTi Tins for the flares.

Figured I would take some time to start looking much deeper into what this car needs.... I seen nothing less than a full take down.


The belly pan of this car is corroded. Its a Northwest gem of an example..

So for now I will Focus mainly on the engine build and spare a little time to knock a few jobs at a time on the body. This thing is going to need a lot of floor work.
