WOW im back on the first page again, well not a lot to report folks, car is still in the garage awaiting new door skins before painting can commence, bonnet has been skim coated with bog and ready for blocking back, I have purchased a new paint gun in anticipation of said paint job, and ca18 and supercharger have been sold to make way for the new powerplant :D which is siting on chris,s engine stand as I type this.
Ross,s zed has taken up most of the datsun garage workshop in preparation for a coat of shiny stuff, so cant really paint mine till his is coated in lovely stuff anyway.
and pips doors are awaiting rust removal.
although I have re discoverd how to put together a 60 hour week, so if I continue that trend through xmas I may find time to get on and finish the bloody thing.
heres hoping aye

glad to hear you've changed to a turbo ca18det.
lol shut up josh, my datto has received plenty of love this year, its getting closer and closer each week. its had a few hold backs that are out of my control as well. also remember iv been rust repairing the replacement b110 shell for Rhys over the last 2months as a favor. its turned out to be a huge job lol nearly finished it tho.

after riding in yvettes ute I realised the diff wouldnt cope with the abuse the supercharger would impose on it, so ill be making my power via turbo which the diff should handle with ease, just a case of keeping it simple and getting it on the road, and making it reliable
