the 1200 had had a huge smack in the drives side front, the radiator suppport was bout 2 inch away from the guard.. so i pannel beat it the best i could but came up short about half an inch so i cut and put a slither in the guard it is all sweet now

i really dislike the stock nuberplate mounting so i fabricated up a new one, cut the sill a bit and welded her in, i find it much more attractive now haha

here i have put a slug in the guard as i will be runnuig VS ute indicators in the section closest too the door

Because i have louvered the bonnet, i would have had trouble with water running into webbers! not good.. so i have fabricated a plate to block off all water and welded and urithaned it on, but because it is on the insdie of the bonnet you would be able too see it through the louvers so here is the 1st painted piece, 2002 sting red :D

hey guys i need some advice where is the best place to get a new draglink from is, for a 1971 1200 ute? also i need a full set of ball joints and a nolothane kit?
any help is appreciated
cheers

Nice work Gylezy!
I bought my drag link from rockauto! I got one from a datsun 210, is has a little bend in the middle because of the crossmember clearance. but since you got a ute i don`t think what is more suitable to yours.
I love you engine bay colour!!

wow
all i can say is damn your keen
i woulda just stripped the ute then turfed the rest to the scrappy's
nice work

allright cheers Bandit_blues ill see what i can find, haha datto1000wagon i had no idea how much rust it had untill i was comitted 2 it but ow well there is %100 no rust now :)
does anyone have gas struts on their 1200 bonnet ?
