Hey guys. New 1200 owner from America (It looks like alot of you are not from here lol)

Just bought a 72 Datsun 1200 coupe for $250 dollars. I'm going to pick it up with my friend James' Cummins Dodge tuesday. I'm real excited about this project. The body is really strait considering its age, all it needs really is a good once over, and new driver's side floor pans. Its a 3 speed automatic, yellow... ish (been sitting for a few years) and has a clean title (woot) Im considering either a SBC 350 swap along with a ford 9 inch rear end, or a Ca18Det. New white paint, some nice old school rims, and a bunch of other goodies.

A little about me:

Im a certified mechanic and work for the Army (not in the army, just work for them.) Im an Irish citizen, but I've lived in America my whole life. I've owned 2 s13's, now I own a 1993 BMW 325is, a 1987 Dodge Aires wagon (biggest best POS ever) along with the Datsun. I am getting ready to go off to school to become a Geologist, and I have 3 dogs.
