Hello Everyone,
I've been lurking around the 1200 club since it was on Yahoo and have just today joined so that I could share my good fortune (I think) with other Datsun fanatics. I have been working since last Novemebr on a '72 coupe that was neglected for many years and even though it spent its whole life in an arid climate (New Mexico, USA) it turned out to be quite the rust bucket. It's now ready for paint and all the cancer is gone. I'd been searching far and wide for a parts car with no luck until I found the guy on Ebay that was parting out a '72 sedan not far from where I live. I won an auction for a spare fender and ended up buying the rest of the car, mostly for the 4 speed as mine is an auto. On the way over to pick up the sedan I discovered a '71 sedan rotting away in someones front yard. Well $30 US later I had the title in hand and was on my way to rent a car dolly. So now I have three (only the coupe has an engine, the '72 sedan is going to be picked over and the '71 is gonna be a race car), what luck. Anyway to make a long post a little shorter I will have the '72 sedans shell available to anyone who wants it very cheaply. No fenders, doors, drive train, suspension or hood and the left front inner panels needs some welding done but the rest is pretty straight and might make a good basis for a race car. If anyone in the SW US is interested drop me a line at maberna@sandia.gov. If anyone else is in the Albuquerque area drop me a line also. Thanks and keep all the great info coming it has really helped a lot. I'll try making these posts a little shorter in the future.

Mike
