Littlewass Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 So, bought a 1200 in 1986 when I graduated college as my first car. Drove it for 5 years and traded it in for a Camaro Z28 so I could pick up chicks. That part never really panned out but I did love my Camaro and the Camaro after that. About 2 years ago, I started wanting my old orange Datsun 1200 back. Took me 2 years to find one that wasn't turned into a race car or just a 1200 shaped pile of rust. This is what I got. Found it in Oakland. Had it about 3 weeks now. LOVE IT! Plan on completely restoring it. Any help or advice you could give would be greatly appreciated! Enjoy the pictures! https://www.dropbox.com/sc/xu3tn32v8avh6gh/AAD7UmQqBwa1HSSujOt0WDwTa# Quote Link to comment

Littlewass Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Restoration starts today. First order to get it in perfect running order, safe, and rust free. Luckily there is a Datsun specialist near me. Quote Link to comment

graveltrapp Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I think being married with a kid proves yes. Under powered little rust buckets are punani magnets. Fact! 1 Quote Link to comment
Littlewass Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Just an FYI, I removed the word "grandpa" so now it just says "world's greatest". I think I can love with that:) Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 That might cut it with the tykes, but the cougars wont buy it. Spare yourself any embarrassment and sell me the car, Im already in lock down (married) without any sight of parole. Quote Link to comment
