Bought this some time ago, had been looking for awhile, decided i had to have it as i new i could repair it, but forgot that running my own workshop and having a wife daughter and another on way doesn't leave me with much sparetime, hence it is going to be a slow build, well at least till it gets a little warmer so can stay in shed longer. I bought the orange 1200 off ebay for under $300 just so could use the front clip, bonus was it runs and drivers and is manual, yellow one is auto and has had later model motor with offset engine mouts fitted. Some specs on old yella: std, come with original owners manual, has had disk brake upgrade, come with boot of spares, and filled my ute with spares also including stanza struts and brakes, 2 motors in pieces, pair of trx wheels, datsport hydraulic clutch conversion kit, 2 decarb gasket kits, spare x member, hub caps (but dented) solid front external sun visor thing, mad dat steering box brace,new carpet, and allsorts of other crap in boxes. I have purchased new radiator support, apron, guard, bonnet and s/s bonnet trim. have also sourced second hand grill and bumper thanks to this site. Am still needing bumper mounts, and is there a s/s trim bellow the grill?
I spent some time on Sunday(fathers day) drilling out the spot welds and removing mangled material. It has also had the bottom section of drivers a pillar replaced at some point and had rough repair of firewall and floor in that corner, so i had a bit of porter power and dolly session straightening this also.
One thing that i try not to get into is the painting, so if there's a painter on this site that wants some fab work (steel, ali s/s may be cams roll cage?) done and wants to do a trade of services contact me.
