Well Quinn if repco sell 1200 body panels I'm off there tomorrow and I'll buy some!!

But if they dont sell'em down here let me know if you can still get them up there

Cheers

I went to repco today and they said that repco has never ever sold panels for a Datsun 1200?????

So what planet are you from Quinn????????

If you can't get new ones, repair them. These are the steps I used on the left front fender:
1. Remove it. (Probably going to break off some bolts if it was as rusted as mine.)
2. Brush out all the junk, rust and dirt (and in my case a big friggen black widow spider that got really pissed off.)
3. Knock down as much of the rusted area as possible with a grinder.
4. Treat affected area with rust converter/metal prep and sand as needed.
5. Fill and rebond with long strand fiber glass structural filler.
6. Gind/sand to rough shape.
7. Fill with "bondo", formula 27 or other product of the type and sand to shape.
8. Finish and fill imperfections with glazing putty.
9. Completely sand with 80 then 100.
10. Spray with primer sealer and sand as needed.
11. Spray with primer and sand as needed.
12. Paint.

(Note: Use all fillers thinly as possible for less chance of cracking and breakage.)

Quite a process but it is worth is. My fender was literatly falling apart. The back of it was almost all the way rusted off near the door. I mean you should have gotten a tetanus shot just too look at the thing. Following the steps above gave me what looks like a new fender that I just put back on the car today.

since when did repco sell body panels?

hey Who_your_datty where are you getting them from? I got a new front vallence from repco and it was only $50 and arrived in a week, I cant rember how much the front fenders were but Im sure they werent that much or would take that long.

tuledude on eBay has them for sale now:
1200 Left Front Fender NOS
1200 Right Front Fender NOS

$150 - $175 NZD each and there is a 3 month wait to get them.

Hey there is a guy that works for a Nissan dealer in Edmonton Alberta that can get new steel fenders out of Japan. They are the european version with smaller maker lites though. I can dig up a contact if you wish at $280ea Cdn+tx etc...

how much are they in NZ please let me know

I can get new steel guards in NZ

I would rather have them in steel
