Thats a nice looking car, shame to have to sell it. Is the engine pretty much stock, with a 4 spd I presume.

Ok, since I am a newb to the datsun world and owning the 1200 coupe, I have a question for ya, my experience is based on chev and ford where a small block is a small block with many parts interchangable. Are the A12, A13, A14, A15 engines all the same block with different bore and stroke plus periferals? thanks.

Hey guys,

Thanks, I am on Vancouver Island in BC and picked up this car here. Overall condition is not bad except front fenders and wiring harness, plus I have a hunch the head gasket is gone.

I will sift through the forums best I can, but if anyone has a good source for me to try for body / eng / perf parts, please let me know. I have always liked these little rigs but didnt realize how scarce they were till now. Thanks.

Howdy there all,

I am in Canada and just picked up a 1973 Datsun 1200 coupe which I plan on using as a daily runner after doing some work to it. Then over the next period of time, I plan on picking up a supply of parts to make her purrrr.

Basically I am finding that parts are getting downright scarce for these little babies. It is also hard to find sourse info for doing upgrades and simple mods with newer parts off other models that are easy bolt ons.

Do you know of any good sourse books or pages on cross referencing things like brakes/suspension/running gear, etc... that may be easier to find than the original part numbers for the old LB110's.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
I am also going to want to get some new front fenders and some flare/spoiler kit info if anything is still available.

Thanks,

Ken C.

Oh, Steveo, that is a sweet ride you have.
