You could do it in 2 weeks if you have the skills and the gear e.g decent mig welder. Oh and a dry place (shed) and the time. Mounting engine radiator and box will take the longest dont expect to have much room in the ute gearbox tunnel, but if the sunnys no good you could cut the tunnel out of that and mig into the ute. Sunny looks pretty good but is it rusty ?

I so wanted to buy that buy lacked funds.
Keep the sunny as L series.
2 weeks, you need to make a x member as the b310 one won't fit the b110.

the sunny looks good, id drive that and convert the ute when you have time if thats what you really want to do

2 week conversion? have fun!

Gday all. Have been reading the forum for a few years now and trying to take it all in but still definitely a rookie in the datsun scene.
So after searching for a few years i finally found a local datsun 1200 ute in decent condition. Picked it up (plus a tonne of spares)for $2500 about a month ago. Bit pricey but i was getting desperate.
This is how it looked

Got it registered and poked around in for a few days and realised the four speed wasnt going to be much fun doing the 5 hour freeway trip between uni and home. So i brought a B310 sunny with worked L18 and 5 speed conversion for $700.

Sooo the plan is to convert everything into 1200 ute and make a fun little daily that is hopefully reliable and decent on fuel.
The thing is i have 2 weeks to do the conversion before i have to head back to uni!!
Then ill slowly restore it back to original on the exterior and create a bit of a street sleeper.
Here is a link to an ad for the sunny from a few years ago i found.

Ill try keep this updated over the next 2 weeks in a bid that people will pickup on things i might be doing wrong or the hard way. Any advice will be much appreciated. Or any parts that ill need so i can chase them up now.
