hey guys...i just bought a 1200 gx and it needs lotsa work,wich means i need alot of advice...any1 up for the challenge ?

What do you want to be told? Ask a specific question and we shal advise.....

and where are you located??

well,first of all i wanne restore the car to its original state if possible...with a few modifications,bt nothing over the top. but i have to admit 'i dunno much about cars'...so im not even gonna waste time trying to sound clever. bt i love this car and dont wanne spoil it by doing all the wrong or uneeded stuff. so some advice on what NOT to do would be nice thanx

where are you located?
got any pics?
is it a coupe or sedan?
what makes it a 1200gx?

Wise words. Firstly start by telling us a bit about the car and where you are from. Any pictures would be good. It will definately help in the overall assessment of the GX.

I'l try to get some pics up by tommorow...and im from Cape Town-SOUTH AFRICA(dunno if thats gonne be a prob. ?? )....its a '74 1200gx sedan.

First make sure it's not full of body rot, then get everything back to good stock condition...........bushings, dampers, tires breaks and any engine/drive train issues. Once you have it mechnically sound and looking decent then start with some bolt on's. It sounds like you want to keep a period look. Find some nice wheels with the proper vintage look 13" jelly beans, Libres , Mini Lites etc. Then put on some anti sway bars. After that maybe some Recaro seats.........think bolt on items and keep the stock parts............there that should keep you busy for the next 3 years.

depends on how fast you want this thing to be

say as fast as a v6 commie is what i compair almost everything to
for a a12 to be as fast as a v6 commie it would need to be very worked so this probly isnt the best
move up to a14 or 15 if u can find one
big cam, carb, exhaust and its would be close

Need Wisdom, Mmmm haven't come across any lately. Dont think you can get it many places any more, except here of course..
