if it runs OK u could catch the train down and drive it home.. u can buy a 6 day license for VIC, valid in NSW too. my coupe made it out to nsw from vic just fine when it was bought.

is a 720 the same in US as it is here in AU ? monster garage and another show American Hotrod are a great watch. they do some crazy #### but it usually seems to turn out ok.
its about time one of these car modify type tv shows did a classic datto.

edit:
hooray i saw the episode !! heres some of the stuff they do to the nice old '74 B210.
- cut front springs, standard struts.
- Datsun ute model 720 rear end (H165 ?? H190 ??) didnt notice which leafs used. doesnt seem to be a str8 bolt-on
- really really bad paintjob (looked better stock)

Devious-Jet try a wrecker for a nissan vanette, some of the old ones run an A15 with a nice diff too. not sure about the column shift arrangement on those though. i know of a wrecker in Orange who have A15's lying in their stock shelves. theyre out there still youll find one.
downnote - after i bought my A15 i found a service station 1 suburb away from where i live who had an A14gx engine & stumpy 5 speed but had sold it 2 weeks earlier. BUMMER.
the owner of the A14gx used to run it in his coupe that he would sleep in when he visitted snow fields once a year. cooold

a running reliable A15 engine could go for anything up to $800 i guess (maybee more for port work or other mods). My A15 was $150 and was in pretty crap condition and even had 1 dead piston. (short engine)

If you have an A14 your car will be registered in the 1100cc-1499cc range. as soon as u go A15, your car moves into the 1500-2000cc range. (little bit cheaper if u have the A14)

yah i have voted in the past but last time i went up there my name wasnt on the list. i dont mind voting, the booths are a short walk away from where i live.
Dodgeman have u had a run-in with some fishing official ? I rekon its low down and dirty that the average bloke (or lady) has to buy a license to pull fish from the water.. Although - they say the money goes towards stopping the illegal fishing vessels - which is the reason we had to get licensing in the first place - overfishing by companies etc. we as the end user end up paying the monies for the problems that others made.
L18_B110, the fish should be so lucky, if they were knocked out, that would save them ending up on my hook

people overlook stuff bigtime on a computer screen, they dont read and process in their mind what theyre reading (hey i do it all the time) so by the time theyve realized they
A - dont care
B - dont even know what a webforum means, does, or is (they just know 1200's look "sic")
C - think that someone will steal their 1200 if people know
D - overlook the question (again) and ignore it and forget it was ever there
E - dont know where they are themselves

cheq PM - re 5 speed.

yes should be good. i saw a historic rally in scotland few yrs back, many interesting british cars, good to see and hear them hammering along windy dodgy scottish roads.

theres a datto 1600 or two in the targa race in 05 too.

any1 keen to see a bunch of old and new race cars will find targa tassy here. im going on a holiday down to tas and am going to be following the rally cars around the small island. id be keen to meet up with any datto 1200ers while im down there.


here are the stages/locations





i WISH i could take the 1200 coupe (i hope to have a15 twinweber power by then) but im flying to Tas, about a week before the rally starts.

fly fish i dont but i wanna learn. i do a bit of regular recreational fishing...
tie your own flys if your enthusiastic enough about it or buy em i guess.
not sure what species in salt water, perhaps barramundi's, but in fresh water theres lots of things like trout, cod, any surface feeders really.
i fish and i dont vote
