Looking for any type of Datto - must be auto - selling for cheap. relativley straight body.

My wife looking for a car to work on in her spare time, must b running

why doesnt she learn to drive manual in her spare time Will make the search easier!!!

i can drive manual..not very well, i keep stalling when i reverse so its easier to drive a auto!!! besides i want the car to do up. i have more time then my hubby!

I am a fellow girl also doing up dattos. Have you driven an aseries with manual??? Because the standard ones prove to be hard to stall. Well that was the case in my bfs wagon anyway???

Do you want a sedan,wagon or ute?? And have you got a favourite model?? 1200? 1600? alot of girls like the 180b and 200bs as well.

I guess by the needed straight thing your not going to be doing panelbeating yourself. If you hold out and be patient you may find someone selling a near original one and even sometimes there cheap because people think its and old car and dont realise what people would pay.
My bf bought a Datsun260C which his the 2nd owner was near immaculate and like 2 tiny dings down the side. Which is awesome for a 30 yr old car!

The main message is just dont rush into the first one u see, I looked at heaps of utes before i got mine which was rust free then i seen the sedan for sale and bought that because i "loved it from first sight" haha but its gonna cost me alot of money and time to fix its rust.

my hubby had a 1200 sedan but had no time to work on it so sold it. i didnt want his one!!!! didnt like it either!!! He had the car n parts for sale on here in about july/august last yr. I am probly gonna look at a ute, again preferably auto...the engine work n stuff i'll do myself but dont have patience for panelbeating!! i got more spare time then hubby as he at work n i at home with the baby! as long as rust hasn't eaten thru the body TOO BADLY n its in spots here n there, i don't really mind. if the body has a few dings here n there i don't mind but like major panelbeating i wont even give it a 2nd look

Even tho i said i want a auto if worst comes to worst i'll take a manual but hey that's life we dont always get wat we want!!!

its gotta at least run then and dont really wanna be spending HEAPS..as do have the family to think of..i have been told by a friend ( a mechanic) that he'll help me n also the apprentice mecanic i'm sure would help too..he wanted to buy hubby's 1200 but didn't have the money at the time..... porb no more then $1000- $1100 MAX

It's Auto, it runs and I'm pretty sure my friend still wouldn't mind selling it

I mean the 1200 coupe btw, not my 120y's

Looks good, but it'd cost me just as much to ship it down here as it would to buy it!

i know have my very first project car..a 1970 1200 ute!!!!http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=170072815843&rd=1&rd=1
