Well today i took a 3 hour trip to ACT to pick up my new 1200 79 model.
Ute has all been bead blasted not one bit of rust in it, very happy.
Plans are to take all the running gear out of my sunny and throw it all in the ute. Not sure if the length of the sunny diff will fit straight in tho, so i think i will be wrecking the sunny out soon.

Here is a few pic's :

Good to see you come back to the 1200 fold. I'll finish mine if you finish yours. Stick with it mate it looks solid.

Yep back to the family. Yeah this is a keeper, my girlfriend has told me this is the last one or its over lol....

Going to sort out what i am keeping of the sunny then the rest will be going on the web site or Ebay.

Awesome buddy keep us posted, will cruise down ASAP.

No worries, will do.

lol i got told the same when i got my current sedan rofl. only if its written off or similar(touch wood it doesnt)

looks nice, commo bit saggy in rear, might need new shocks/springs too ;)

yeah its IRS and there was a #OOPS# load of parts in the back + boot.

Just a quick question , do you need a heater box for a blue slip in NSW ?

I bought two 12v hair dryers and will put them straight into the air vents. Apparently this is what the hot rod guys do. I spoke to an engineer and he said its fine. I will let you know how I go in a few months.

Edit: Sorry I didn't answer your question. No you do not need a heater box but you do need some type of demister eg. 12v hair dryers as above.

Well after trying to sell my ute with no luck i thought i'd better start doing something to it. So i drilled out the hooks on the side of the tray and drilling out the rear quarters to be replaced with brand new ones, new ones go on tomorrow. After removing the rear bottom seal panel i found some damage so i got a rear cut from a wrecking yard ( will be getting fixed with the quarters ) once that is all straight & done it will be time for body work and new transmission tunnel.

FUN TIMES TO COME !

Got some photos of the process..
