PM me mate. Would wanna see it in person to see what I'm getting myself into.

haha and what would be 1200 datto members rate ?

Can give you a hand with some panel and paint work if ya like at datto 1200 member rates. Kicking panels out with ya feet thats a shocker and certainly aint the way to do it that's for sure. There not made of 4mm plate there thin as and only require gentle persuasion.

well u probly wont be changing the rear 1/4 panels so, bump them out from inside with a rubber mallet to start with, or get in boot and kick out with your feet, a wide bolster to get the middle line right, then get yourself a panel hammer and dolly to work the rest, careful not to overstretch the metal.

Yes there is alot of panel damage from it being a paddock basher. Tho im willing to put in time to get it fixed but i know nothing about panel beating so im not quite sure which way to go with this.

Sounds good DatsAndy might need some new panels might save me alot of time lol

Hey buddy your up the road from me i live in Armidale Let me know what ya need may be able to help with some things. We could possibly do some joint buys on panels etc make it a bit cheaper.

it looks fairly rust free at least, are you doing panel work yourself?

You'd also be suprised at how much stuff is still available from Nissan. The only problem is you need to find a spare parts guy willing to locate the bits for you.

you have a good country car there, will come up well.

1200 are almost like a volkswagen in parts availability.

I suggest you clean it up and consider an L series conversion
using crossmember avail from Revhead and others.

Using an L series you can have a factory style conversion with
no pollution gear, easier to find parts than for a CA18de.

You can do a Ka24e head conversion and turbo it in the future
or run a Z18et turbo setup which will net over 250atw if you
use a better turbo and aftermarket ecu.

No pollution gear helps heaps in the looks department and
L series parts are throwaway these days.

ebay is your best bet mate!
very easy way to to find parts quickly.
ohh and no worries about the link hope it helps.
cheers
