So I thought I would put together a thread on a rebuild of a little Datto ute I bought for my Mrs in Jan 2014. I have many datto's over the years including 1600's that I just love but with time at a premium over the last few years, I hadn't touched a old car until now.
The bug came back to me when I was talking to my brother at Christmas (2013) and he was telling me about all these motorbikes he was doing up in his spare time and I got a little jealous. I wanted to get my hands dirty so I started the hunt for a 1200 ute as it looked like there was a lot of aftermarket parts around online and the community for them looked pretty helpful. Originally I was just after something as a runabout for the Mrs that I could tinker with but after I looked at a bunch of utes, everyone was asking way to much for poorly looked after rust buckets. That was until I found this multi-coloured farm machine just outside of Brisbane.
