Damz' 1977 Datsun 120y Wagz

Post by damz721 »

Hello fellow datsun owners my name is Damian I'm a young fella from Blenheim. Whom absolutely loves old cars, I enjoy playing a lot of sport and spending money on cars :lol: Enough of the introduction!! Lets get to my datto!!

Picked her up for next to nothing so im pretty stoked
It had no wof / reg on hold, took her down for a wof and passed with clean sheet which was surprising yet very pleasing.

1200cc 4speed Manual

Heres a few pics will get some better/more later on

Plans for the old girl?
-Lick of the factory blue color paint
-Lower it
-A15/A12+5spd
-Chin spoiler

This is my first datto so my knowledge for them isn't the best so any opinions/advice would be much appreciated!!

sweet ride, welcome to the site, you couldnt have picked a better car to learn your automotive craft on, these are very simple and easy to understand, yet the principles are the same as any other high tech vehicle out there.
keep posting your progress, and you may be interested in the akaroa cruise coming up next month, there will be plenty of people heading through your part of the country to get to this, if you wish to tag along.

Welcome to the site dude!
You must be stoked with a clean sheet!
Looks like you have a sweet canvas with which to start from. If you need to know anything, or would like some advise, please don't hesitate to ask a question in the tech and DIY forum. There is a huge knowledge base around the B110/210/310 on this site. They really are a great car to modify. Most improvements are pretty easy/cheap to carry out.
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............

welcome, are you bringing it down for the nationals at labour weekend?

I have a couple of spare chin spoilers for sale (new imported from the UK)
check the F/S section.

Save postage If I meet you and give it to you at akaroa next month :D

And by the way IMO, stick to the mini-lites dont tarnish the old girl with those modern rip off wheels ! ;)
