I am organising a WA deal with Alpha for some Torana parts later in the year
I was thinking of getting some of his Datto parts while I was at it

Get him to cost up the doors..... they would be window frameless for racecars yes ?
I might be interested in a pair

Spoke to them today, if we can get 4 people to buy 4 sets its all go.

The doors would be around the following prices-

- $330, to be able to take all the std windows and handles
- $250 with a flat inner panels for race cars

Whos keen to put there name down??

Also, does anyone have any nice straight doors (2dr sedan... I think coupes are the same but have different inner panel work at the top) to make the moulds off?? Even if they have rust and are full of bog, as long as they are straight...??

I hope it's not already on this thread - but has anyone determined the weight difference between steel doors and fiberglass ones?

He mentioned that a Fibre glass Torana door weighed 5-6kgs... Thats probably half of a 1000 steel door...

Even forget about the weight, how much would you pay for a straight 1000 door that will never rust???

Crumple zone? Datsun 1000?
I think that engineered crumple zones didn't come into vogue untill well after 1970, which is when the last of the 1000's were sold new.
Any replacement parts are required to comply with the regulations that were in force when the car was first registered, & back then, it wasn't too tough.

As for $200 for front guards, well, if anyone knows where new ones can be bought for less, we would be glad to hear of them.
The last price I was quoted for genuine guards [when you could still buy them] was over $340, so I was so very glad that I still had two left when I bought my coupe.
