Can anyone help me out with the armrests that go on the inside of the door on a 1200 ute. Doesn't matter about the colour becuase I will paint them...

Guys I am after the chrome headlight surrounds that fit into the older style grill and the chrome eyebrows that sit on the end of the guards. Willing to pay postage. If someone can help me and we'll work out a price...

Thanks

Chris

I have owned some sort of Dtasun in the past 22 yrs and I think they are all individually unique. After having 1600's in the late 80's and early 90's I then drove a bluebird turbo for 5 yrs and then drove a 1200 ute for 11 yrs which I still own. The diference between the old datsun owners compared to the new generation is I find that not many new generation are doing a lot of the work themselves and in particular the 1600 owners but are happy to pay someone thousands of dollars to modify or paint there car for them and then either sell it half finished or straight away becuase they lose interest. The reason I have kept my 1200 ute is to try and teach some basic automotive knowledge to my 8 yr old son so he can learn to appreciate classic cars.

I went through this last year and wby replacing the unis with holden unis and a balance it was about $320 AUS. If I was to get new ones pressed in it was going to cost more. The problem is I probably won't change them for another 20 yrs.

If you can get them to melbourne consider them sold. Happy to pay for freight if you organise. Email me on stamello@bigpond.net.au

Davo its good to hear you will still put the coupe on the road. I was one of the first members to follow your progress. Wasn't that engine purchased from Andrews race car?

Whorida I luv the way that as soon as someone makes any comment about your cars you take it to heart and go off and start getting personal. Yes I have been reading the threads and I know that the ute rails on your ute have been shifted and you have done nothing about it to fix them but concetrated on the body which still won't be engineered. As for the wagon I am not sure if it registered but won't it have to be engineered with a CA18 to be registered. As for appreciating I am not talking huge money but clean 1200 utes that are slightly modified are worth the same if not more that the mega dollar 18" wheel, mega stereo utes.

I still can't understand why you would buy another headache to try and get on the road as a daily driver when for the same money you could of bought a nice clean stock example which would appreciate in value. The other question was how you would engineer it to get it on the road. Wasn't the engineering the problem with the ute also?

How are you going to get it engineered and up and running. Wouldn't you been better off with an A14/15 as a daily driver.
