Scary that it has only 8k, and it's broken, lol.
Love that colour though.

Ahhh, good stuff ian!
Colour 357 is "Gold Green / Olive Metallic" and should be avaliable through an old motor factors or similar. Its a classic Datto colour. When you polish it up it'll be that crazy gold with a green tinge to it!
8K is mental.....and your lucky its not rotted to oblivion! Its a Mk1 (not a Mk2 like we discussed on the phone). But the engine I have will still fit A-OK in it.
The engines only gonna be knackered because its sat so long. Drop that lump I have mate into it and she'll fly!

Thanks for all the positive feed back guys,thought I was in a spot of bother having found it hard to source parts but a massive thanks to johnnysomersett for the engine & auxilleries I'm on the move again. My plans are to fit the 120a eng/gearbox,a home made K&N,lower it a bit & if they fit lay on a set of reliant scimitar rims or Stag & maybe a bigger exhaust,other than that the car stays true to what it is. I am based in Bristol not far from where the car has spent all it's life. My mate has apparently found the original bill of sale,service receipt & even a storage bill from when it ws waxoyled & laid up in storage.I found this in the car it's the pick list for the tool bag!  Also this beauty..................  |

oh my god thats a black widow might be a daddy long legs though, I'm not hot on spiders... It's actually a Datsununderbonnet black mamba so I've been told!!!! Went to a local show today & met an old chap with a 6 cylinder Laurel,told me it's 1 of only 6 in the country. Also met a mate from the triumph stag owners club & he is giving me a set of Stag wheels for my 100a. Have only just got back from holiday but as soon as I can get hold of johnnysomersett I will get my engine sorted & mot the green goblin.... In the mean time I've done a bit more on this,my long term project I've now had for 3 years.         These are just a snipet of 3 years work & probarbly £3000 including engine rebuild I did myself,front axle rebuild & hundreds of small items nobody sees.    Hope you all like................ |

Moved the car yesterday to my bro's place,so went over today & washed the 'rice sparkler 'off,the tree sap & moss has really dug in deep maybe to deep as the paint is quite rough.    Tried to T-cut & 3M compound clean but this was as good as I could get before it rained.  At least the interior is good.   Next is dropping out the engine but I don't have a hoist so may have to drop out the subframe unless I can source a cheapy. |

Picked my spare engine up on saturday from a member of DATSUNOWNERSCLUB.CO.UK & we struggled to get it in my van,the block must be 50kg of cast iron mate,peoper heavy.

I would have thought if you clay it that most of the tree sap etc will be lifted off.
Try using a meguiars clay bar on it
