RATDAT3 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well, today Greg (gcmustang) and I got the new gas tank in the sedan, blew out the line, fired it up. Ran smooth and only a little rich smoke. Tomorrow, we work on the tail lights----pics up soon. Quote Link to comment

RATDAT3 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Oh yeah, I'll be there even if its not finished! Quote Link to comment
gcmustang Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I will try and come by after work today to look at the paint and see what we can do. Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Cool, I tried to wax a little bit-----I think all we will be able to do is get the rough finish to smooth out.......dont think it will shine but that's ok. Only come over if you have time, there is no hurry. Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Was gonna rob the locks off the coupe, but the trunk wasnt the same----rummaged through my b210 stuff---bingo! Now I just need to find some struts..................I have 2 new b210's that wont fit, any help would be great! Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Is it gonna be there tomorrow? Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted August 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Yep! Been working on it---its not done, but it will be fun anyway! Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted August 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Blue Lake was a blast---had lots of fun talking to everyone! First time I have had one of my cars there! Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Good to meet you. Glad the car made it OK. Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 It was good to meet you too Jess-----car is running real rich---fouled out a plug, but that's just adjustments----gonna get a webber for it I think. If you want, I will do your Z seats for the coupe.........sans title? Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I PM'd Ron. Skib bought them back. The pair in my car now are really too far gone. I'm keeping an eye out for some replacements now. Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Ok, let me know on the coupe--what you'd sell it for? What condition? Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 What plugs do you run? I have Chevrolet V8 champion RN12YC (3 numbers hotter than stock) in my 1200. No fouling they burn clean, with no glazing. Your sedan looked good at Blue Lake Talking to Jerry Can't wait to see the interior, the start looks good with the Datsun colors over black Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks for the pics! I took some video as well--will upload soon. I just pulled the plugs---they were new, but are all black and 2 have oil on them? It ran great there and back home, went to drive it on Monday, it sounded like it was on 3 cylanders-------still does after cleaning the plugs. Checked oil, water, both ok. More to work on I guess..........I'll post pics of the rest of the interior when I'm done with each piece. Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 So I found some glass for my sedan---not too bad price wise--$220, but the cost for the coupe is $580? Why the big difference? Anyway, here is the web site: http://account.autoglasshosting.com/nswizard/?zip=97233&year=1971&make=Datsun&model=1200&bodystyle=2+Door+Sedan&_ob=WS&_os=&opening=WS&A=Q&acct=w2g Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Because they can actually get the coupe glass? Call them, I think you'll find they cannot get the Sedan glass. Or if they are getting it from Taiwan, that's news that any US dealer is bringing it over. They still made the Sedan/Pickup glass in 2007, but nobody in USA was ordering it in lots of 200.

RATDAT3 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Found a guy said he could do either for $250------ Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Yeah Dave----that's what I thought, but he was sure as he checked on it. Anyway, here is one seat done for my sedan. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Is that a stock 1200 seat with lumbar support added? Mine have extra cushion added, are much comfier than stock, but the back is still too straight. Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yeah, stock with more support, and the back sits back more than my coupe------ Quote Link to comment
