Duncan Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 The kit is cool, but the hood scoop not-so-much I have the "facelift" hood on my Sunny. Wish I could find a facelift grill... Quote Link to comment

CGS1948 Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Have you bought the upgraded front end yet? That front would make it look really unique. Quote Link to comment

AndreP Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 That Hakosuka front end is top notch! At first I didn't like it, but the more I look ate it, the more I want it :( Too bad it's soo damn expensive :( About the facelift hood, is that an original from which year? Never seen any like that!

Duncan Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that part of the GX option, and only came on Coupe body styles only? Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 For 1972 japan-market, a new style hood was used for all Datsun Sunny 1200 sedans & coupes, including STD and DX. Like this Sedan GL 1 Quote Link to comment

CGS1948 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Bonvo, I'm going with the 69 camaro front sheet metal Why not the 68-72 Nova front sheet metal? It would fit your project's "1200 SS aka The Baby Nova" title. B) Quote Link to comment

CGS1948 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 The front of the camaro looks similar to the 1200. So it makes it easier to fit. I see what you mean. Are you going to use fiberglass,/carbon fiber (for weight purposes), or steel for your front pieces? Quote Link to comment
jb1200 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I see what you mean. Are you going to use fiberglass,/carbon fiber (for weight purposes), or steel for your front pieces? I'm gonna use steel, I already have the front valance. Quote Link to comment
CGS1948 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm gonna use steel, I already have the front valance. Are you going to use the GM NOS/used parts, or the Taiwan sheetmetal stampings? B) Quote Link to comment
