Re: Jordan's 1200 Ute

Progress on the ute has pretty much come to a halt as I bought a house 6 weeks ago and have been working on that rather than the datsun but today I thought I'd splash out and get some bits. Went down to Timaru and bought a 1200 sedan rear bumper and all the bits needed for a metal grille conversion ...

Rooms for rent in Prebbleton Chch

Hi everyone. I know that this is super off topic from what should be on a car forum but thought I'd see anyway. I have recently bought a house and have a couple rooms to fill in Prebbleton. Both are good sized, one gets the morning sun and the other gets the afternoon so you can take your pick. It's...

Re: Jordan's 1200 Ute

Took my radiator cap off the other week and the water looked like it was out of a murky swamp so I thought 'f**k that, time for an upgrade'.

As many of you have have probably felt when you've sold a car, instant regret, and thats why I bought the 1200 ...
