The one 2 door I have seen here in Christchurch was being chopped up to fit a CA18DET when I last saw it. If I were you I would keep it original and maybe use another Datto 1200 if you want to use the SR. I do not think you would regret keeping it original but if you chop it, well there's no going back and then there is room for regret...

There is no such thing as an opinion when talking about Ferraris Woody. Love them or hate them, you have to respect them for their prestige and fine cars they make. I do not think you would be complaining if you were fortunate enough to own one. They did not get their good name, become famous and be sought after for being #### cars. I agree that alot of European cars are a toss but you have to understand why you think this before you start mouthing off. Is it jealousy? Is it the people that drive the cars you just hate? Most modded (CA, SR powered etc) Datto's will beat alot of STANDARD Ferraris but which one turns more heads and sounds wicked. The Ferrari will win every time. That does not mean Dattos are #### either. As a owner of a rare and sought after vehicle in your ute you must understand why Ferraris are like they are and have a following. The price is just on a much larger scale. Just be thankful that Datsuns are more accessible for us and enjoy them.

Ferraris aren't a toss! What you on about little boy???

Don't say it was written off by Murph...Selfwedge will get out the gun then. Haha

I don't think I have ever seen a Datsun 1200 Wagon in the flesh. Maybe once if at all. Is this down south?

Weather held up on Saturday. Got there at 8am with a pocketful of cash but all I bought other than the brochure was a $3 blow up alien which the girlfriend rejected when I gave it to her. I'm sure it wasn't the fact that I spent more money on Datsun brochures than her. Too many Model T, A and old Chev Coupe parts! So many panels with massive rust holes! Not many motorbike stuff either this year. Was not as good as previous years. Do you normally go Blair?

What are the swapmeets like in Australia for Datsun 1200 parts and carbs etc.? I waited in anticipation all year for my annual swapmeet and I only found a Datsun 1200 brochure which I am happy for cause I didn't have this one. BUT, no Datsun 1200 parts except for one set of extractors. Last year I got a set of bumpers and a mint grille for $60 or something like that to fix my rash damage. Have to wait till next year now. Have to keep up Trademe till then.

Where is this car situated now? Are there any pics of it? Would love to see it.

Seatbelts are fairly universal items. Why would he tell you to get lost?
