 Re: my sedan
it was sitting out in a guys shed in lilydale.
(has been for years)

boof got me onto it, it was sort of a word of mouth sale. not advertised anywhere.

its not a bad example. pretty rough around the edges but the shell is fairly sound which is why i grabbed it.

it hasnt run for a while so its gonna need some tlc.

but yeah the mrs is keen to get behind the wheel of a datto. she wont drive the ute.

 Re: my sedan
the photo makes it look a lot better than what it is...

but it'll make a good streeter

i havent had time to fiddle with it yet,

hopefully it'll fire up and run nice.. then it
will be just minor things to get it registered i would think..

 Re: my sedan
its an auto

no huge plans

it'll eventually be a manual, and probably ride a little lower.

i'll just go over it and clean it up a little. The paint is fairly rough but it will be staying as is.

 Re: my sedan
yes the auto tunnel is definately bad news!

fired it up today and she's a goer!

there was 4 and a half distributors in the boot. obviously one of the previous owners had trouble with the timing.

fiddled with the dizzy got it set up right and bang she fired into life!

gotta love datto's

 Re: my sedan
seems to be pretty good. a bit of a puff on startup.. no where near as much as i had expected!

auto has a massive leak, so too does the brake master cylinder.

i guess everything is rallying against coming out of retirement!

nevermind... we'll get there

 Re: my sedan
spent a couple of days on the new sedan.

now lowered, got 15's, i got rid of the auto and fitted a 56a 4speed, and some new carpet inside.
A few more minor things and she'll be ready for the street.
