Burke_a_lot Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Well this is my project 1980 Datsun 1200 Ute (Daily Driver) At the moment it's a bit of a mess, because it's my daily driver, work on her is a bit slow progressing.... I do 700km weekly.... this engine is coming up to 50000km.... and the Ute itself is close to 250000km.... It's still pretty tight! It has not let me down yet! Make: Datsun Model: 1200 Utility Year: 1980 Engine: A15, running a stronger cam, and jetted for octane mix Brakes: 180B disk front and drums rear Trans: 5 speed sunny Diff: H165 Interior: Shit fight.... massive WIP! I have about 12 months until I have my full licence, so I'm looking into a set of Twin 40 DHLA Delloto carbs.... other than that it's the interior that need a overhaul! Also getting a hard lid for the tray made up. I'll let the pics speak for themselves.... Open to suggestions.... the driving lights are only temporary btw.... Quote Link to comment

RAlly_DatoB210 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I figured somewhere in that range. Plus another 2k to ship. Maybe when I'm Rich lol. That one sounds worth it it me looks cherry too. Maybe run round fog lights? The box ones just throw of the round everything else on the car. Quote Link to comment

Tristin Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 IMHO seats and rims look a little cheesy (as well as the fog lights, but I understand why you have them on), but the rest of the truck is clean. I love the color. Hope to see more of the car... Quote Link to comment

DRIVEN Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Very cool. And welcome! IMHO seats and rims look a little cheesy (as well as the fog lights, but I understand why you have them on), but the rest of the truck is clean. I love the color. Hope to see more of the car... I'm sure it's a regional thing. And I hope to see more of it too. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Probably. When I was in Perth, WA I saw quite a few cars with interiors like that. Quote Link to comment
