Seen so many pictures of this... at Oxford Edition etc I thought that i'd already read a reader's rides thread on this  Saw your car down at the Ace last week & I must say it looks somehow even better (more proportioned maybe?) In the flesh/metal as it were than in pictures. The Stag wheels are an inspired choice + you plans sound spot-on!  Edit to add pic from the Ace with Mr Hotwire's Datty  |

Wow. Awesome looking Datto man. Love the valve cover and air cleaner dress up! Shame to hear about the damage though.
Question regarding the engine dress up. How difficult was it to remove the surface rust, and, how did you do it? Especially dealing with the oil cap.

Cheers dude The surface rust i just got a wire brush disc for my angle grinder and attacked it for about 10 minutes, then went all over with a few grades of wet 'n' dry paper to smooth. Then just paint. The Oil cap was the easiest....just 5mins with some wire wool (gently mind you) and she came up as new!! |

Tis a cool car what are the engine swaps you could do LOL....anything you want/can afford!! Common ones would be A12/A14 or even A15 drops as they're the easiest considering its FWD and all those engines are based on the same design. with some huge fettling you could maybe wang in a CA8DET or SR20 if you made a whole new subframe but how far is really necessary!! LOL Originally i wanted to go CA18DE but the cost was silly (I'm not capable of something like that myself) plus....I'm a roller not a racer |

Tis a cool car what are the engine swaps you could do My car has an A15 engine from a Nissan Vanette. You can get tuning bits for the A engines from Australia and New Zealand, and Finland for some reason. The gearbox under engine design means that the engine bay is narrow. Fitting anything from a conventional transverse engined car will mean lots of engineering and chopping of wings etc. I've seen some Cherries with turbocharged A series engines on t'internet. I think this will give more than enough power for a FWD car weighing 650 Kg. |

Should rise from 59Bhp to approx 80Bhp (i havent done the exact sums yet) Deffo enough for me |

You need to find someone who makes inlet manifolds for them and can re-jet them accordingly. I'm using www.boggbros.co.uk/ for mine...though I'm sure there's plenty of people in the states who can do it too. If you look at they're site you'll see what I mean TBH, with yours being RWD then an engine swap would be your best option if you can afford it |

Hey Johnny,
Hope the carb proj. is going well.
How's the custom suspension firm looking? They gonna be able to produce the goods?
I've been hovering over a 120Y here in Belgium - but must admit I'll DEFINITELY lose the family jewels if I go ahead and purchase - but the bug has bitten!!!! ;D
When's she in for the panelwork?
