Nice body!  Looks like a good base for a build up, how fresh is the block and rings? |

yeh the body's not quite as good as it looks, there's a fair bit of rust & bog in those rear flares that something would have to be done about...
It definitely would be a good base, but would require a fair bit of work to get up to scratch..
The Block seems to be pretty good, I reckon It'd need a rebuild before it'd be at race standard, the rings and bearings were starting to get a bit tired by the time it died... (nothing too serious, just a melted carby - still runs)
the engine is all in good order though, nothing hugely costly would need doing, just a strip down and rebuild would be required, wouldn't cost more than a rebuild kit and maybe a little bit of machining... last time I had the head off the cylinders were starting to show a little bit of wear..
As I said in the other post, if you were keen to build it up as a targa car it would require quite a bit of work and therefore we'd be better off going with a ready prepped race car if it was available...
But it does drive like a dream, handles brilliantly and when the engine was at its prime it was a bloody strong, revvy motor, It's flogged many V8 commodores and CA18 180SXs... hehe those guys were dark getting beaten by an old Datto... love it!! ;D
