datsunfreak Posted April 13, 2014 Report Posted April 13, 2014 Older guys (and users of Datsun1200.com) may recall this car... Here's some pics from about 12 years ago, in it's heyday... Unfortunately, it was parked back in 2003 and sort of neglected... :blush: But we are going to bring it back, better than ever. B) Stay tuned as progress happens... :thumbup: 6 Quote

Dguy210 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Posted April 13, 2014 :thumbup: I wondered what had happened to this car, nice to see it making a comeback! Quote
Kirden Posted April 13, 2014 Report Posted April 13, 2014 Damn you hoarding all these 1200s. Take enough time fixing this one up so you can sell it to me after my move to tennessee buddy :thumbup: Quote
datsunfreak Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Posted April 13, 2014 Take enough time fixing this one up so you can sell it to me after my move to tennessee My shopmate Tim has owned this car for almost 20 years. It won't be for sale until he achieves room temperature. B) 1 Quote
Lonestar Posted April 13, 2014 Report Posted April 13, 2014 I thought yall weren't going to start on this til ya had the others done. :P This shall be a cool rebuild, is the NapZ in the pic the same on I traded you for my A14? Quote
datsunfreak Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Posted April 13, 2014 I thought yall weren't going to start on this til ya had the others done I'm in the midst of tearing down the engine for it so I thought I might as well start up a thread for it... ^_^ Believe it or not, Tim's B210 is very close to finished. If I can keep him focused on it, I'd say it'll be done by the end of May... I want to get the engine torn down for this, and get the machine work done on it, so when the B210 is done we'll be ready to jump into this feet first. :thumbup: is the NapZ in the pic the same on I traded you for my A14? Some of it... B) 2 Quote

datsunfreak Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Posted April 14, 2014 Do you have any current pics of "Chickenhawk" to share? B) I'll post some in a few days. But I must warn you. It ain't pretty. :blush: 1 Quote
ggzilla Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 Lonestar gave you an engine 12 years ago? For some reason I had the impression he was a young guy ... is the NapZ in the pic the same on I traded you for my A14? Some of it... B) Quote
Lonestar Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 Lonestar gave you an engine 12 years ago? For some reason I had the impression he was a young guy ... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Aw hell no! The current A14 in my 210. Me and John have a deal. He gets my A14 when I yank it out and put in the NapZ he gave me. I just thought the one in the pic is of the same engine I traded for. Quote
dimlight65 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 I'll post some in a few days. But I must warn you. It ain't pretty. :blush: I fear some backlash is in my future for neglecting this car for so long. Just don't show the interior until we clear the animal craps out of it... oops, probably shouldn't have said that. 2 Quote
datsunfreak Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Posted April 14, 2014 I fear some backlash is in my future for neglecting this car for so long. At least we are fixing it instead of letting it get worse... :rofl: Just don't show the interior until we clear the animal craps out of it... oops, probably shouldn't have said that. Wasn't going to show the cat crap. Whoopsie... ^_^ 1 Quote
Rhapakatui Posted April 14, 2014 Report Posted April 14, 2014 It's ok. This is a picture that lonestar took of my goon when he first got it. See the bird crap on the steering wheel? That's still there. Quote
datsunfreak Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Posted April 15, 2014 At our old shop, we think a feral cat got up inside the car through the empty shifter hole one winter and left behind some "gifts". :rofl: 1 Quote

datsunfreak Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Posted April 16, 2014 lol had same problem with blackbird stray got up inside and sprayed everything Thanks for that. I didn't even consider that the interior is probably urine-soaked as well... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Quote
flatcat19 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Posted April 16, 2014 Wouldn't road trips be easier knowing its OK to pee anywhere because it has already been done prior? Just sayin. 3 Quote
dimlight65 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Posted April 21, 2014 We might be going to a swamp meet Saturday to buy an wiring harness for this project... and we might not. So there. Quote
ggzilla Posted April 22, 2014 Report Posted April 22, 2014 Don't let anyone sell you swamp land - unless its a bargain price. 1 Quote
