cheers, for all the comments its great to get feed back from datto guy's, I agree with the comments, made good and not so, ps. I really hated using those indicators but you can't tell how much we pumped the front so the factory ones just didn't fit, the engine is the main, part, I bought it years ago off a bloke that used it for hill climbs, It was built by the old Datsun Center in Vic.I have put a new head on it all ported, running Tomei 10,000rpm valve springs,Tomei push rods, Iv'e just started to tune the engine with these carbs, I got to say it makes us all smile so hard every time we get to start it, and the guys doing the tune are all V8 guys, and to see the look on there faces is a blast.

Looks awesome, hardly bogan. Quad carbed too hey? Tell me a bit more about the engine, from what I recall that was the major part of the eBay auction.

I grew up in the 70 and 80s but appreciate both eras for their own different offerings I think DD would fit right in with the local Bogans :) - My pointing out to the sidemarkers is my main concern the factory ones are much better, original style grille and bumpers is another but like you said thats what you want.

Great paint, engine, interior getting there clean car.

Search for Datsun 1200 Shannons and found a really cool 2-door. I love everything about it!

twin carburetors



cool indicators



Forget color-match. In the 80s we did blackout!

I couldn't find it via Google either.

But this is cool:

Nah can't see it. The only dark blue one that shows is John Waylands beast.

Nevermind.

If you google datsun 1200 2 door sedan, go into images , its the dark blue ( bogan !! ) one, that will take you to the site,

Hi jmatt1200, can you upload some pictures or provide the website address link for the photo's?

(Sorry if post this twice still learning the site.) Thanks for the feed back, I was not building a jdm spec car. I agree there may be better original cars around, As for the Americans I don't care what they think. I agree it does have bogan aspects to it, but I grew up around the 80's and It really wasn't that bad. I built it the way I wanted, sum will like it sum won't but it's fate is better than when I found it in the wrecking yard. as for the bumpers and stuff it can all go back to original easy, but you work with what you have, and in the end there your cars do what you like, I'm sure I'm going to enjoy driving it...

Can someone upload a few pictures of the finished car? I can't find it on the shannons website.
