[EDITED] I have removed my post after he rang me and voiced his thoughts.

Thankyou 120fly, we have a great response and interest with our 1600/510 wagon conversion to a 1600 ute and especially thankyou to Sydney Datsun Club members and committee members for their emails and visits.

We welcome and appreciate anyone who visits our workshop which came about from our passion for Datsun's (original or modified) and come in and get to know us and see our work in the flesh and the time, thought and effort that has gone into our 1600 ute. The only people that have knocked us have never been customers or seen our work in the flesh, we will go over and above to look after our customers especially to look after other Datsun enthusiasts, our customers are returning customers who appreciate us and our experience and what we have and what we know as they have learnt alot also from visiting and talking with us.

Hello,
I had a look over your site at the different work you do. Perhaps you could list some 1200 specific work that you have done in the past. i.e. the front chassie work you did on the acid ute is something that is going to become more common as our cars get older. Even if you could give an indication of the cost involved. Mine doesn't appear to be as bad as that one, but the front cross member (under radiator) has a couple of rust holes, so there is probably more damage waiting to be discovered. Also some corrosion around the front bumper mounts, also seems common.

I was looking to get someone to shorten a VN B/W diff and depending on the cost, having the rear leaves in my ute shifted in. Is this something you could undertake?

Thanks

Hi Nick

Unfortunately every car is different so we don't post prices of work on our website in regards to rust and damage repairs. However, we are bringing out a front chassis rail strengthening and rust replacement kit shortly which will start at $600 DIY.

In regards to something we could undertake, we can do anything but it all comes down to what you have or want to spend.

Hi Guys,

Just popping in to let you all know we've posted more photos up on our website last night of the 1600 ute if anyone would like a look at the progress and the new spray job, I will be putting more photos up over the coming week also.

hi miss the 1600 ute is looking good plus your website great also.....

keep up the good work....
