Just got me a great 71 Datsun 1200 and Im in love.
Shes in great condition with no rust at all.

I plan to upholster the interiors and later on a paint job cause paint still looks good but could be better.

Now, I know that this car came from Cali 4 years ago and the previous owner (matbighat) had this car in great condition and performed some very nice upgrades including an engine so I really would like to know if theres a build thread about the vehicle or if I can get in contact with him to know everything that was done to the vehicle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just installed a new Hood last week, polished all chrome pieces including bumpers, installed front lip and gave her a good shine.

New wheels coming on tomorrow.

Welcome to the 1200 club!

Build topic: matbighat's Coupe

He had the factory GX Engine, but with A14 block instead of the little A12. It won a bunch of awards.

That really is a nice looking coupe. It almost makes me want to go to the dark side of pogo sticks :)...

Well done. Congrats.

Thats a nice looking ride!! Congrats!! How big are those wheels :) nice clean

Tadaah!

You make me sick [jealous] :)

I have ONE 1200 left, it's old and sickly, but it's still mine, so far.
[I had 2 cars stolen this year, well in 2011]

I cannot count the 1200's I've owned, as a wrench at a Datsun dealer, often a blown head gasket, bent fender, bad clutch made the owner say "It's worn out"

Then buy a crappy B-210, how sad.

Lucky YOU
