il buy the brake booster off ya

Try getting the rear suspension, it must be IRS. The differential, the differential mounting bracket, susp arms,all of the assembly. You can adapt it to your ather Datto. Tail lights assemblies are hard to find, you can use them or sell them. Dash board/gauges, are also hard to find. If you need to do some repairs to the metal of your Datto, you can take some pieces of good metal from the 180B.
There is always something good to get.

while we're on the 180b...

what parts can i use off the 200b for my ute? i have one out the back, and I'm gonna have to get rid of it one of these days. I've got the engine for my car (and the tunnel ) possibly the seats...

why does everyone use the 180b mounts for mounting the L20b/L18 etc motors, do the 200b ones work?

It has "mags", with bald tyres which i don't want as i already have an awesome set for my car (anyone in perth interested in the 200b ones?)
if anyone needs anything else, i've got a few parts.

[edit] i have read the previous posts on 200b into 1200 coupe... etc.

id get the struts too, as far as i know there very similar to stanza ones and i know by experience the brakes are good on them (200b or 180b reguardless). if its a coupe it would be wrothwhile grabbing the twin SU's and manifold off it and as mentioned before the diff and half shafts out of it if it is a 200b coupe, 180b sedan or coupe (200b sedans are live rear) because i know around here there is hig demand for the shafts especially as lots of turbo 1600's use locked R180 diffs which can use the R160 shafts which are standard in the dats like 1600's 180b's and 200b coupes. just a few things to think about.

the 200b is a sedan.
don't the 200b struts need shortening before you put them into a 1200?

i bought my car with discs all round, which is great, (my dad wouldn't let me upgrade without 'em) so i won't be needing the discs unless i use the struts probably (although, they're probably the same)

I've already got twin su's and manifold, for my ute (not that this car had 'em)
and the diff... what your saying is it don't fit but its worth money?
i've got a 120y diff in it at the moment, and it looks like i'm getting a proper ute diff soon, as long as my discs fit it. (mines the older model (74) ute, so i think it came out with the h145 diff?)

im not sure about how you have to modify the struts to fit in, i know a few of my mates have put R31 struts into 1600's and 1200's very easily however they throw about 1 degree positive camber so camber tops are needed so im guesses if they fit then 200b ones should fit pretty easily. 200b sedans have a live rear so im not sure what to do with that, i know the irs rears that are in all 180b's but only 200b coupes are worth money. strip and sell?

the struts are useful as a base for some other brake upgrade options, if they're the large stub axle type. The standard 180B brakes are simply dreadful things with wierd angle cut pads designed to confuse apprentices...

I don't reckon the IRS is worth any money...
Certain ratios of R180 and R200 diffs can fetch a couple of hundred bucks, and LSD centres are certainly worth money, but the 180B won't have any of that gear!

I'd leave the thing alone unless you particularly want the struts for a Magna/Commodore brake upgrade.

on a side note, there are some 200B sedans with IRS in Aus.

hey..
what happens if i want to use the engine and box ??? can i use the cross member? or do i have to heavily modify the 1200 1? i have plans on putting in a L20b but if i can get a L18 4 free id go that way... i pretty sure the car is pretty fuked.but ahwell itl b good for a few parts
