i am thinking about selling my beloved 1200 ute project.. i have recently been reassigned overseas for work and dont see any point in holding on to the ute.. i am going to try and list everything as best as possible. i have included a pic of just before it went off to the body shop..

- 1974 Datsun 1200 ute - complete shell, inc. panels, doors, windscreen (front and back) and windows.. Body is pretty good, straight and nearly no rust (apart from surface after recent paint strip treatment).. has a modified front apron and radiator support to fit custom made intercooler (behind the apron and grill), and also has the tornau cover hooks and tailgate latches cut off in preparation to be shaved and cleaned up.. purchased for $1500.00, have spent another $800.00 on minor body work that has started as mentioned..

total outlay so far as you can see is over $20,000.00, not to mention how much time has gone into this car.

i am looking to see if anyone is interested in buying as is still needing the body and paint done and then being assembled. as you can see almost everything you need is there..

i am not looking to get back every single dollar spent but looking to salvage what i can before i head overseas. if not i will put it in storage..

open to reasonable offers. pm me if interested. i am away for a week as of tomorrow so please leave your contact info and i will be in touch when i return.

p.s. had a few pm's on selling parts but i am not interested in parting it out as i will be keeping the project in storage unless i can sell the whole lot.. i am happy to sell all parts and keep the shell..

If you change your mind I am interested in brake booster and ca fitting kit

Bump.. had many enquiries.. pricing guide is around $13000.00 incase your wondering. call, txt or pm if interested. adam 0417495995.
