I have seen them on yahoo before, if one shows again i'll have to pay bettter attention to the price.
 
I do have one useless 1000 ornament... Pod clock.

NOS too, not sure i can muster up almost $300 landed for that, seeing as I'm not a coupe owner any more... ha ha

Looks good Ash, and that grille is awesome. I don't think I've seen one of that style before. Is the engine a stocker?

I thought it was a ute grille, my ute one is a lot simpler, no slots top and bottom. Nice pics also, can't wait to get some of mine......not on my own property! Do you only have the one one thou?

Yes I only have one 1000.
I probably have another 1/4 of a 1000 in NOS parts packed away to keep it running well into the future.
 
Taking pics is alot of fun, I have taken an interest in cameras as another hobby to add to the list.
(It is nice when hobbys overlap).
 
For my car pics I have found that i perfer to use a background which is not overwhealming or overly busy, but still interesting enough that it could be a background without the car.
Everything in a photo is part of that photo, so you might as well have an interesting background.

Thanks D, Since lowering the back end I have noticed a higher frequency of admiration from strangers in traffic/at the shops.

There is always some nit wit knocking my mirrors.
Even with them sitting in as far as possible they still get snaged.

I cant claim to be in the daily driven club.
I drive mine to work once or twice a week and try to get it out atleast once on the weekend.

Well, It has been a while since I have updated my build diary so I'll probably break it down into sections over the next little while.
 
So I'll start with the outside.
 
My best friend helped me with paint on the front end of the car.
 
This came about because I had decided that it was time to use my genuine NOS Mirrors, and that they needed to be moved up to the top of the guards instead of mounting from the side.
 

As you can see this is true driveway paint job.
 

As well as the mirrors, It was also time for some NOS Parkers, NOS Sunny Emblems, NOS Round Repeaters and Another NOS Headlight Trim to match the one on the other side.
 

We also Made up some vinyl stripes in a GX Style for the side (Minus the red)
 

These came about because My friend that painted my front had some made for his 1200 sedan and I liked the look of stripes on a sunny.
 
I'll stop here for now and leave other parts of the build diary for later on.
 
Ash.

Thanks, also did another Early A12 from Datsun Museum.
Chris assures me it was rebuilt 3 years prior and taken from one of his own cars.
Gave it a spray can tidy up along with some fresh gaskets, water pump etc.
 
Single dcoe 40mm from weber performance on it now as well.

best thou anywhere in the world with that colour and finish
stock A12 are beaut things, even in the future if you use
a GX cam with a little more compression they run better
on round port heads than oval due to faster low end and
mid range flow velocities just not top end but perfect for
the road and with that kind of induction etc.
