Christmas Pilgrimage to the Mainland.
Posted: Sat Nov 10, 2012 2:50 pm
Hi all,
Thought I would share my Datto build with you. It started about 3-4 months ago. Brought this so called mint little red Datto from down the line on a wet rainy night. Drove it home and had a good look around the next day, F$@k it I just brought another project car. After kicking myself I started on fix'n her up. The list was long and is slowly shrinking. I have told the girlfriend we are driving this down and around the mainland for two weeks over Christmas. It's this or we are driving my old Datsun 620 ute, I think I might buy a modern car before that happens!
Found seats were broken, replaced with Bride recliners. ( cheers Russell ).
Front suspension, cut springs and B310 struts. Changed out for my 1200 ute struts to fit new wheels.
Tyres bald, Ordered new Work Equip 03's 15x7, arriving end of the month. So fitted my Simmons from my coupe.
This ment I had to flare guards, which ment I had to reset the rear springs with extra leaf to firm up rear end. Fitted all new bushes.
Replace single pass shitty radiator with alloy 3 core.
Just working on the next big head ache, repairing the engine. I will go into that next week.
