Hey everyone,
My names Brad and im from Wagga Wagga
im pretty new to this whole datsun thing but thought i would post up my project i have at the moment.
I've always loved the 1200 utes and when i sold my last car had a little extra cash so i thought i would get one.
My best mate Wardy (also on the forums with the other 1200 ute) also bought one the same weekend and theyre both sitting in the shed together so that was more of an influence to get it underway to haha

anyway here it is. its a 1976 model. dead stock, lugs and everything shaved off the tub, tailgate is getting shaved, crack free dash, brand new gaurds, and as of tonight will be RUST FREE (got 1 more hole to weld up in the floor), everything is in awesome condition. unsure what engine i am going to chuck into it for now. See what funds i have when it comes to that time. im also a bit undecided on the colour to paint it to but its going to be a bit of a project for a while i think so i would probably change my mind 15 times anyway.

so let me know what you think

Hi Brad,
Welcome to the club.
I'm going to post a pair of stanza struts on e bay soon. If you havent already got a disc front end, this may be worth considering.
I've seen a photo on this site of a metalic green ute.
I thought it was a real head turner.
Anyhow best of luck and enjoy your project!

Hey Brad! Congrats on getting your ute! its seems in better condition then mine atm.....your tray actually has a floor!!!!!!!

Stanza struts are a good buy if you wanna upgrade the braking system!

hey shirley, i dont really know alot about the brake upgrade side of things, im still a noob, Wardy is helping me out alot but if thats a good upgrade ill definately keep an eye out on ebay :) thanks, as for painting it green, thats the colour that Wardy is painting his so i think ill choose another colour haha,

thanks heaps whoridas_girl, theyre definately fun cars to work on haha, i was just checking out yours before, its definately coming along nicely.

yea heaps of the work was done b4 i purchased it in january this year, but since then Luke (whorida) and I have been getting stuck into the bog and stuff. and getting rid of all the surface rust.

well i have a standard x-member if you wanna buy it if you haven't got one! i am throwing a CA18DET into it and already have the x-member for it

Is this going to replace the S15 haha. Looks like you've got plenty to do and it also looks like you've got a pretty good base to start from! good luck!

wagga wagga!?! at last someone close by, well welcome anyway, nice 1200 getting one soon but it's just me and the 120y (bunker boys) 4 now.

oops, in Wardys account :S
