Coming along nicely there sweet driveline ready to go straight in. What ya doin with the donor ute shell ?

very nice ute there.

I used to own an R100 too, sold it and have a 1200 coupe I've just put a L18 stroker in.

I'll be curious to know what you think of the CA18det compared to a 13bt, it's a shame 12A n/a is all you can legally do in a Datto 1200 in NSW, otherwise i'd do a 13bt conversion in mine.

I might also convert to CA18det down the track, so it'd be good to know if it will keep you happy compared to a 13bt.
