New Zealand Datsun Club

Some of you may have seen similiar thread on .co.nz but considering all the cool kids are on here might just stik it on here
So this is my datsun 1200, its got a15 stuck in it with 5spd gear box.
I brought it from up north early Feb this year and am hoping to have it back on road by Oct for cruise.
On arrivial my little beast was not in the condition advertised and despite my families horros i kept her anyway and decided to give her a better life





i know what you thinking why the hell is there a hole in the bonnet on that side of the car??
Well i asked previous owner and he didnt really know either

Yes it may look straight int hose pictures but dig a little and you find out why it has taken me so long

oh well keep trooping on
Now she is making good progress with a panelbeater on hand.
Have cut out most rust and put patches in, boot and doors have now all been panelled and appoxie primered.
I have found some cool looking paint that is a shirae pearl red so thinking that might be the colour.
Purchases for her so far
- Set of (much needed lol) chrome extractors
- Personalised Plates (also needed lol)
- Some 40mm dellortos
- New Aluminium Radiator
- Set of Black plush carpet.
- Some 13/5 minilites
- New Side indicators and lights.
- Front air dam (front spolier)

So work is underway and these are my most recent pics for you




Wish me luck
I hope to have her on the road all done by October so hopefully will be making steady progress over next few week will keep you updated
