What kind of fender flares are you running. I hope you say cheap eBay ones because, well, I’m cheap. I have a set of them that I decided not to use that I will sell. ? 1 Link to comment

I hope you say cheap eBay ones because, well, I’m cheap. The original ones were made by a shop in Japan called Refresh60 (fairly expensive) but mine are replicas of those made by Classic Datsun in SoCal (they were less than $250 shipped as I recall). These look the same as mine, but a bit more spendy... https://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-wide-over-KB110-B110-fender-flares-arch-fits-Nissan-Datsun-Sunny-1200-flare/161982301430?hash=item25b6e5c4f6:g:WCsAAOSwFnFV9BE5:rk:4:pf:0 These look like a good fit, and for a slightly better price too... https://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-Pon-retro-Fender-Flares-wheel-arch-Metal-For-B110-Datsun-1200-2-d-sedan/183592016727?epid=18019706777&hash=item2abeefdb57:g:hIcAAOSwfshbA4NB:rk:1:pf:0 5 Link to comment

fivetenguy Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Wow DF, I would have never guessed that you would sell your coupe! You've put so much time and effort (time X effort = money) into that beast. Definitely one of my favorite coupes of all time. GLWS!! Link to comment

I honestly had no intentions of selling it ever, but some situations forced my hand. Just have some debts I need to clear sooner rather than later. A good chunk of the funds will help get the next project farther down the road, so it's all good... And if I'm being honest, I've always liked building hot rods a lot more than owning them... 😄 The next one is a driver, so it's time to get back to that. I prefer projects you can drive while fixing them up rather than spend years working on something you never get to drive. I did tons and tons of mods to the 1200 without ever knowing if any of them would work well together until it was done. I think I got supremely lucky that the car drives as nice as it does. The next car will be a more old school approach (for me), mod, drive, mod, drive, mod, drive, then culminating in an insane engine swap... Edited March 15, 2019 by datsunfreak 5 Link to comment

KELMO Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Just a tiny bit miffed I didn't get to see this car in person. But you're still welcome to stop by the White Trash Garage any time you are passing through. This next one should be good to watch. Link to comment
