I rang Wetherill Park Panels today... I have ordered new bonnet, 2 new guards and new front apron. The whole lot cost me $240.00... needless to say i was pretty impressed, just hope that they fit ok

Oh wow Well i;m definately saved, thats some good stuff right there, i wonder how much would be shipping to the United States. I've noticed that alot of Datsun stuff is in aussie, oh well, its the only good source i presume.

were in adelaide can u get seals. i need front and back windscreen and the small quarter windows on the doors for an 82 1200 ute

Here's a link for window rubbers...to get you started. I'm beginning exactly the same project at the moment too!

Howdy all, long time lurker who hasnt posted in a while.

Well after saying goodbye to my 400kw at all four wheels STi my heart has led me back to my forever favorite 1200Coupe. I have infact owned a few others in the past and also a crazy 1000Coupe Under 2 Litre Sports Sedan but this time i want to build something special.

My good mate "The Country Bumkin" Andrew and his trusty stead have ,motivated me to also go down the CA18 path but i am thinking that a stroker may be the go

The car is going to be a bit of an "all-rounder" as it will be used in everything from hillclimbs, Super Sprints, Imporved Production on occasion, Kana-cross, drags and what ever else we can get it to pee the v8 and rotor boys off with

I took delivery of the car yesterday and can not wait to get stuck into it. I am sure i will be using this place (and you guys) with assistance in getting my grubby hands on some parts.

Of the top of my head i need the following;

Complete Dash
Front Apron
Grill
Front & Rear Bumpers

Some questions so far;

getting window rubbers, who where and how?

Who has used after-market panels? i am about to order new bonnett and gaurds but have heard mixed reports about them?

I am sure there will be more reports on the build as i get into it and i will also post pictures as we go. At the moment, we are just getting the car pulled down and getting it sand blasted and ready for the chrome molly cage to get stitched into it

stay tuned i guess...
