Gday all. Have been reading the forum for a few years now and trying to take it all in but still definitely a rookie in the datsun scene.
So after searching for a few years i finally found a local datsun 1200 ute in decent condition. Picked it up (plus a tonne of spares)for $2500 about a month ago. Bit pricey but i was getting desperate.
This is how it looked

Got it registered and poked around in for a few days and realised the four speed wasnt going to be much fun doing the 5 hour freeway trip between uni and home. So i brought a B310 sunny with worked L18 and 5 speed conversion for $700.

Sooo the plan is to convert everything into 1200 ute and make a fun little daily that is hopefully reliable and decent on fuel.
The thing is i have 2 weeks to do the conversion before i have to head back to uni!!
Then ill slowly restore it back to original on the exterior and create a bit of a street sleeper.
Here is a link to an ad for the sunny from a few years ago i found.

Ill try keep this updated over the next 2 weeks in a bid that people will pickup on things i might be doing wrong or the hard way. Any advice will be much appreciated. Or any parts that ill need so i can chase them up now.
