Hey guys and gals, im aidwin from perth aus,just picked up my datsun 1200 coupe a few days ago and i love it.

the body is good,no dents, but paint is horrific(looks like its been painted with a roller).Interior needs work. Engine is Great!But electrics need to be fixed.

I will post pics soon of my new project.catchya later

Welcome and congrats on your good choice, so long as you can find spares, you'll have plenty of fun. Try and start your collection of parts at every opportunity. Getting front end spares is important for small accidents, as is mechanical parts like balljoints, wheel bearings, tierod ends, brake parts and oil filters.

Cheers

Welcome along, the people in here have forgotton more about Datsun 1200's than I will ever know, if you need any help this is the best place to get it.

hey welcome, good to have new datto owners in the club. you can never ask too many questions on this site, and theres also a really good technical section which can answer most of your technical questions without having to wait.

My 1200 project is going on really well.Right now im going through the process of licensing it.

Did a full service on my A12 engine(spark plugs,oil,oil filter,gbox oil).New leads,new connection points, better ground.and made windscreen washer work.

Even did some dyno tuning and it made 30.9hp at the rear wheels haha.Running very rich after the full service.(the car has been very neglected all this years)

Today had new ball joints fitted.Next on my to do-list is making horn work and fitting a new seat belt kit.

I love this car so much and no other car makes me so happy driving it!
