Yeah I bought aftermarket lights for a 1980 model ute I
had awhile back and the plugs didn't match those on the
cars wiring loom so had to cutoff the plugs from the original tailight housing and splice them on to the new lights.
If your original housings are in good nick I'd just swap
the lenses over as the taiwanese housings are a bit rough
and use self tappers instead of bolts to hold the lenses on. They also seem to leave some gaps around where the lense should seal to the housing.

P.S> I did hear from someone else that they bought aftermarket taillights and the plugs matched up so might
depend on the year? Hopefully your lucky.

I was thinking of using one in my CA conversion but my preference was for an SR20 style inlet/outlet as it keeps the top hose away from the throttlebody
piping. Anyway, the reason I didn't go that way is because they are so much thicker than the stock units and I wanted my intercooler neatly hidden behind the standard grill and also room for thermo fans at the back...space is always at a premium with conversions like this.
Superfatto has an A series engine in his so probably has a bit more room to play with!

Yeah looking quite tidy now Jason. Should attract a little less attention than when you where driving it with no bonnet and multi-coloured.
Let me know when you can take me for a spin around the block. I'm keen to experience CA power in a 1200!

Just a suggestion for you...it may be worth mentioning the full engine rebuild in your ebay ad. A lot of people
may be put off by the 240klms on the clock. But if they know it's only done 30k on the rebuilt motor they could be keen!

Good luck with the sale.

Don't tell me you want to buy it back???

I sold my previous ute to an old guy who thought it would be cheaper to use the ute to cart his garden rubbish to the tip than to pay for his gardener to do it.

My ute had a mild cam, twin hitachi carbs, GX1200 head, 5-speed box and I want it back now! I found his number and called him about a year ago but he's not ready to sell it yet....said I would be first on his list when he was ready to part with it.
Oneday it may be mine again.

Anyway good luck with the search. Looks like it was a pretty
tidy unit when it left your care.

No worries. I tracked him down through this site a few years
back as he lived close to where I work and I used to see his
little blue ute regularly and wanted to check it out in person.

Nice guy and appears to know his stuff from an engineering point of view.

So your happy with your strut tops??

Levey the guy you bought them off would be Andrew (Andos) who
used to own a blue 1200 ute called mini-truckin.

Camber tops are listed on his web site for $320

Try going to 'http://www.elitepros.com/ecp1.html'

I am considering going down as I've heard it's a pretty big event...and I love all sorts of modified cars.
But unfortunately my ute isn't even close to being on the road yet.
Will keep an eye out for yours if I go tho'.
Would be good to see a few datsuns down there but will primarily be rods and modified 50's and 60's American cars I'm guessing.

Hey Ivan just wondering whether you would have an original (not repro!)
left hand front guard. Looking for a rust free one. If so can you PM me with
a price.

Thanks..Andrew
