My 120y Coupe Project!

Post by DatsunNewbee »

Just recently brought it from a guy in Auckland. Capitan Transporter had it shipped down in 2 days. a very good effort from them! its in great running condition with a recently rebuilt a12 and really smooth 4speed box. Interior is mint just needs a good clean. Modgies and rubber in pristine condition. Only a few little rust bubbles that let it down and the rust in the bonnet.

1st on the project list is to sand back the rust patches and re paint that. I could use some help/advice on how to repair it as I don't want to re-spray the whole car just yet. Is it possible to get around the whole patch spraying part? And how good could the finish be?

2nd on the list is I have a 1500 Ute twin head light grille and bumper, so I want to try to convert it to twin head lights, how much of a mission would the wiring be for this? is it even possible?

thanks people! I would love to hear your thoughts and advise. have a look through the pics and post away!

Glad to see this sexy thing ended up on here. Will be good to see it get some more life back onto it. Had my eye on it 2 for a while, mind me asking how much you ended up paying for it.
