Hey everyone,

For sale is my modified Datsun 1200 coupe. The car has a full power and drive train swap from a Toyota AE86 GTS Corolla.

I have just recently completed a major mechanical refresh of the car. I had big plans for the project, but I have lost interest at this point, and for my asking price I wouldn't mind seeing the car go to a new home.

As you can see, I've basically gone through the car over the winter. It's a great running and driving car at this point. The body does have some dings, dents, and scratches. There is also rust damage on the car, but it has been treated and patched. No active rust. The next phase for me was to do body and paint.

It's a rare car with a great swap that solves all the power and drive train rarity / aftermarket support problems with this platform. Lightweight (1,600 lbs), rear wheel drive, legendary twin cam 4-cylinder engine, 5-speed, and a LSD - it's a great package to build on.

Price:
SOLD

Is the 1200 still available? I remember seeing it listed in facebook classifieds for awhile but can't seem to find it anymore.

Heyo! I can't send you a PM but I've been on the hunt for an EG/EK and remembered your listing from a while ago on honda-tech, is it still up for sale? I was wondering if you also just knew where to hunt for civic hatches with a proper setup, they seem to be a dying market from all the places I've been looking. Super hard to find one with a proper setup lately. Been keeping my eye out for a minute too

Hey, yes, I had a few modified EG hatchbacks I sold on Honda-tech.

I was actually going to list one up for sale in a week or so on Honda-tech, so good timing.
