Question Doner car

I'm stripping my 85' as it will be more to fix it than its worth.

I'm having a difficult time finding a straight shell for the good parts I have (RX-anything)

What other older vehicle would make a nice vehicle to drop the 12A into??

I've been thinking about a Datsun 510 or an 86'-90' Mazda truck.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Eric

My vote would be for the Datsun 510 or maybe a B210.

Now that's an idea, drop that 12A into a cooper convert it to RWD and pow! a helluva sleeper.

My neiborgh is now selling his 83' Fb for $500 so I'm now in the process of aquiring the cash.

Still would like some ideas.

thanks,
Eric

-^- I have a hard time cutting up brittish cars, don't know why either.

An Opel GT wouldn't be a bad choice either

Since these cars are always getting confused with another import; early to mid 70s 240 Z??
