THAT IS FANTASTIC!!! I had a 1200 2door Saloon until a year ago, definately the worsed days work I ever did was selling it! What makes things even more sour is that he, the bloke I sold it too, is ruining it!! Makes me feel ill when I think about it. I only have one picture of it.... If you EVER want to sell it please let me know...

Not much of an update, but I fitted an old Momo wood rim wheel the day before the RR show It looks better in the flesh than in the pic. I am currently working lots of overtime to get some funds ready for a winter freshen up and new engine

That is sweet.And excuse my ignorance but what is a A14 engine? And what cars would you find it in? And can i just say^ that is so effortlessly cool it should be seen as a benchmark.

I'll love V8'S till the day i die.....

Thanks mustang427 The A14 engine is just a 1400 Datsun A-series, it's found in later sunnys (B310) etc, and it's just a slightly larger version of the A12 that is in it at the moment. The A14 may be on hold now though, i have a nice low mileage one, but i'm working a bit of overtime at the moment so I can import some nice parts from www.maddat.com.au and fit a CA18DET into it. I'll be giving it a spruce up over the winter with new door skins and rear quarters, and a full respray too. It'll look pretty much the same as it does now like, but a bit nicer

Haven't seen a wagon like this in many years. Quite cool one actually. Your mods are spot-on too.

Really brilliant dude ! In SA we as a family had loads of the 1200's in all kinds of forms,from the lil 1200 ute's to saloons,really a never die lil car.As I grew older I just had to have a 120y in any form as I thought it was a lil more good looking.?
