Hi all, I'm back from Europe..only just, and my 1200/CA18DET build is coming along well. I've got my engine back from the engine builder and put it in my engine bay. I've returned home to find
my dad making engine mount designs for CA18DET into 1200 engine transplants. So I'll be using the new neater designs on my install. (Requires 1200 cross member) It uses the standard CA18
engine side mounts and Datsun 510 (1600) engine rubber mounts and custom fabricated mounts mig-welded to the cross-member. It looks neat and the engine sits in a good position. So anyway, my
engine and larger standard DET gearbox are sitting in my car. I've modified the pedal box to accept the AE86 clutch master cylinder (which sits flush on the firewall next to the brake
booster). It also will work very well. So now I have to complete the shifter/trans-tunnel mods to fit the larger gearbox, by using a box section welded to the original tunnel, and then the car
can be off to the body strippers then the painters/panelbeaters.
I'm thinking of using the Daihatsu Sirion green/mint metallic as the colour. What do you guys think of that colour?

I'm not a happy camper that I'm missing the Adelaide Datsun event this year...Hopefully next year.

Chris.
