I would love for me and the Wife to roll up to a meeting in his and hers datto's.

Are the two letters on the number plates both of your initials as well?

Aren't you two engaged? does that mean her initials will change when you tie the knot?

i thought AC1200 stood for
a cool one too, ooh...

haha good one lags

well spotted though

the letters AC are my initials, and my better half's name is hyphenated so she chose to put JL
on there instead of her 'first and last' initials as they will be changing in the near future

Thats great Ange. Do you feel like your in the 70's when you drive it. I did when I had my sedan. I loved even the way the radio took ages to warm up. Just a good clean up, to be ready to be used as the wedding car.

whens the manual and lower??? looks good im jealous that you BOTH like datsuns

the manual conversion and lowering are on the list, when i get time. and maybe even the venetians

all in good time mik... wedding and house building plans have now taken priority..

looking great ange .... or should that be mrs ange ???
so will it be joining the drag day at heathcote ?? new driver as well

Ange what about a nice torquay A15. With the auto it would probably be nice to cruise in...

why would it matter where the motor was from...

the old a12 manual with a good tune are good to kick around in. you don't wanna turn it into another money pit do ya?

A12 in nice tune is the way to go I reckon. Maybe an appropriate jetted Weber would be good for chasing a little more power. Subtle mods on the std inlet manifold for better flow and electronic ignition.

The little A12 can be made to go really well for minimum cost.

yeah thats the idea.. just some budget datto fun in this one..

im going manual becuause i just dont like auto's... at all.

will stick with the a12 with maybe a few budget go fast bits when they present themselves

Talk to boofhead about turning the A12 into a little powerpack.

My top things to do to a A12 are:
1.Remove permanent blade fan and fit electric fan.
2. Bigger radiator.
3. Electronic ignition.
4. Other gearbox.(In your case)
5. Other carb. Even Hitachi Su's will be nice.

or just steal the boof mobile engine when hes not looking

But, is lavender for everyone?

mrs ange might be a fan of lavender

Ange i found an old manual box into auto tunnel mount while cleaning up my shed.... could get you out of trouble or be a good template.... but it wasnt the best by design.... bolts would vibrate loose with this setup

thanks michael, i might take a look at the mount if your not using it. see if i cant better the design a little cheers

Leave it auto! There great to work on once they are all up to scratch. Mel has a A14 with auto in her sedan and its just awesome to drive, even chirps second sometimes LOL!
