I sold my commodore for $7000 to a work mate who owned a datsun 1200 coupe and we laughed and joked about doing his datsun 1200 up, I toyed with the idea about buying it and putting in a CA18DET but thought it would have cost too much, I was already chasing a VX supercarged V6 commodore after all so I left him with my old car and went on with my business.
7 months later after searching high and low for a V6 supercharged VX I finally gave up and began thinking about the old datto again, I gave in to my weird ideas of a quick little datto to travel to work and back, and with the petrol prices going up and up and up I was convinced to buy the datto, now I have an exrace A15 engine with twin weber carbs, vacuum assisted brakes, new steering wheel and 13 X 6.5 mags, and I got a VX supercharged V6 too in the end
