Hi all. After a long time in hybernation my datto is back on the road. what started as a 'blowover' (yeah right) when i lost my lisense turned into a full resto. Me and my brothers did all the prep work and painted the door jambs, inner doors etc, then off it went to magic touch for the outside coat. (car doesnt fit in our furniture spray booth). The car was painted in a 2k clear over base version of the standard color.

The engine is an L28 F54/P90 combo. the heads been shaved off its head :) to bring the comp up to 10.2:1. it uses a 74 degree wade cam (2nd biggest 1 they make). the bottom end just has 1mm oversize pistons. the super duper crap restrictive inlet man. has a 65mm t/b. All is controlled by an autronic smc. The car was dynod and made 142kw@wheels.

all in all im just rapt to have it driving again..

enjoy the pics

in the beggining....

Great to see that someone is willing to keep the old 240K up and running in top shape.

It makes me miss my old '77 4 door even more. Triple 45 DCOE Webers, big cam, tuned headers, ..... and 196 rwhp (when I could keep it all together).

Keep up the great work and enjoy the old girl.

Very nice car mate! looks like you've really done things properly, do you have any pics of inside the car?

thanks, ye i do but the interior is sill standard, but thats next considering im in the upholstery business! :P

looks like youve got urself a neet coupe there. looks awsome in silver. is it turbocharged? What engine are you running?

Thanks Terry.

-hgc110-, my C110 has just got the standard L24 and 5 speed at the moment but I might upgrade it in the future. I haven't had the car that long so i'm still deciding what I'll do with it.

Are you running extractors or a Cast twin exit manifold?

Thanks Terry.

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
    • I was immediately reminded that your location is QLD. Sounds like a perfect SEQ business idea.
    • And if you can't drive bigger injectors with peak and hold as low impedance injectors during low pulse width, it's even harder to get a nice clean known amount of fuel.
