Re: datsun 1200 sedan [Rocket rice]
Very nice, like the fit and love the 'minilite' style.
To be honest I'd have to say I'm not sure about the dash, it may look better in person, but I find any dash that is painted gloss, whether it be silver like yours or white, blue car colour, whatever, just doesn't fit for me, but that's just my feed back, others probably feel differently. Looks like you have done it well though.

Re: datsun 1200 sedan [Rocket rice]
That's something to be proud of Darren, looks awesome! How common are these in your area? Are there any others locally? What is your local population? I live in Christchurch, or Datsun Central New Zealand, it's not uncommon even today to see a 1200 out and about, (I drive mine daily as do others in the club). Last year we had 50 Datsuns on one cruise, 13-14 were 1200s. Our population is about 450,000, or was before our recent earth quakes.
