..... but what ever happened to the GX sedan in your photo album ???

Quote:

Now that was a sad tale - I used to have that GX, plus 3 other coupes. One day whilst I was at work some one, or a group of someones came through and smashed up all my 1200s (except the the blue one which was in the front yard at the time).

They were so ####ed (roofs crushed and just about every other panel) that I decided to let them go.

They people who smashed them up also stole all the badges, the GX grill, my really nice factory headlight protects (that were like a metal grill).

Sad tale, took me a little while to get back into Datsuns...that was in a place I lived at in the crap arse suburb of Carrum Downs. Will never go back there that's for sure.

Someone broke in and stole a bunch of my stuff whilst I was there too - tools, computer stuff. And I thought I'd save money whilst I was there because of the cheap rent.

Sad sad tale...pity about the GX too.

By the way this shot is from about 2 or so years ago when I first ran the Datto around Sandown a few days after I bought it out of a paddock. It really flew with the stock A12 lapping in the 1min 40's.

no good about those type of suburbs ... and definite shame about the GX

so when IS the blue coupe going to be gracing a melbourne meet ???

Well the fllywheel arrived Wednesday this week from it's lightening, so most of the engine hopefully will go back together this weekend, be a bit longer to get it to start I imagine - as I'm not sure what gearbox bits I'm missing (had to leave that Carrum Downs address in the hurry, and had only just taken the engine out of the blue car before the big 1200 destruction).

Let us say by the time winter breaks, and a CH plate club registration later it should make an appearance for a Sep meet?
