thanks for the help with the suspension fellaz just need some more knowledge on the whereabouts of a steel front grille for the 1200'z i heard they sell them in sydney but i dont know where and how much, any help would be appreciated thanks guys!!

Aren't the steel grilles a sedan thing?
Don't all of the coupes had the ultra sexy, super sleek, mega fashionable (ok, I'll stop) plastic grilles?
I know tensandtwenties is planning to "old man" his coupe with a sedan grille. You might try that.

I don't think you will find a new steel grill!
The only ones I know of that you can get new are the plastic ones like the utes and coupes, and thats from a place at Condell Park ( Sydney ) I think the place was called AP Panel House. They are near Bankstown airport.

old man thing LOL i think its more a question of class than pension status but hey some people prefer kindergarten than highschool thanks fat albert ima try them see if i can pick up a plastic silver one if i cant find a steel one

Somone told me that sedan grills (Metal) and coupe/ute grills mount differently...
Dunno if it's true...

I have seen the metal grille that tensandtwenties is planning to use. I remember that they DO in fact mount differently. I don't remember what the difference was though.

On the utes and coupes with the plastic grill there are a few tabs that come off of the top radiator support and on the sedan the metal grill has a few screws throught the grill itself to the grill supports.
I am not sure about fitting metal to the ute or sedan but when fitting the plastic to the sedan you just need a few spacers to screw through to put the grill in the right place!
( Its pretty straight forward! )
