Yakuza Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 I felt the front of my 1200 needed a change so this is what I did. I have a rabbit front duckbill that came in the mail yesterday just waiting to get put on. I'm still deciding i I want the bumper on or off. looks like a cabriolet grill on it too...

Icehouse Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 It was great to meet you at GG, your rig looks awesome! Quote Link to comment
M.Creer Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Looks good. Nice build. Get the cragers back on it, put some spacers on and drop it 4 inches. 1 Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Just ran across an ad for this car. Quitter. http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/2363400652.html Quitter is the least of his worries. Look at all the work he did and never updated his thread! :P Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 That looks really good in the add, he reduced the flare in the rear and dropped the hell out of it. It looks like a small copy of the frankenstein 280z kind of I think it's one of the very coolest looking 1200's I've ever seen Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Agreed I Emailed and was just looking formthis thread. Glad it got bumped. Nice ride! Quote Link to comment
OpelWagenGT Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 HEY! I'm not a quitter I just figure I have had enough fun with this car and I want to get the car I am really after. I would have more than one car but I still live at home and my mother does not approve of more than one car. My dream car is an Opel Manta and that is what I am after now. I love this little 1200 and I have to say it is hard to sell it but I have had 2 Opel GTs that both were wrecked by my sister and I have to say that Opels is where my heart lies. I am glad I have had the experience of restoring this Datsun and it has taught me a lot. I appreciate all the help I got from you guys here. Now someone hurry up and buy it! Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I'm surprised it's not sold yet. Any interest? BTW, your sister needs to stay away from your cars <_< . Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Sounds like your sister owes you her parking space. Keep the 1200 and park it where her car goes. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 opel manta is the bombe. i would trade my 1200 for a manta, much better than a opel gt stingray. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Dude I love this car!!!!! If my fleet wasn't so damn big I would buy it in a nano second. So damn cool! Quote Link to comment
OpelWagenGT Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I knew you would understand when I told you what car I wanted. I can dream right.... Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Mantas are cool ,just hard to get parts. I was in to Capris myself but parts are hard to come by even dough they made as many as jeep Cherokees. I think the 1200 is cool. but part sources are still better. Give me your sisters phone number Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 there are a couple opel's(baby vette) that seem to come up for sale near me on a regular basis Quote Link to comment
OpelWagenGT Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 The car sold today for 23 cold hard American Benjamins. I'm sad to see it go but I'm glad it is. BTW I don't need another GT (that's the model your talking about) my dad already has one I'm going to be helping him work on. see you Datsun freaks in another life! Maybe I will be back some day.

Laecaon Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 I think this is the first time I have seen a member say he is leaving, and not angry either. Bye! Did you happen to refer the new owner to Ratsun? Quote Link to comment
jraymer Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Can you post the pics from your ad so I can drool over your former glory here instead on CL Quote Link to comment
OpelWagenGT Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I think this is the first time I have seen a member say he is leaving, and not angry either. Bye! Did you happen to refer the new owner to Ratsun? I actually didn't. He is kind of a tool in my opinion which is weird being that he is from Canada. He kept calling me bro... anyway here are the photos. Quote Link to comment
OpelWagenGT Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Oh here's some pics of the new ride BTW if anyone wants to follow my build I will post the link to it here. Here Quote Link to comment
