Hey list
Went out and looked at my first Datto to become the
rally project. Whee! Was in the Trading Post at $1200, so wasn't sure what I
was expecting!
Body was super rough, really nice 6-point alloy bond cage in it, stock L18 not
running, 5 speed Stanza gearbox, 240k struts etc. Apparently the motor is OK
but the guy had changed the carby on it and never got
it running.
had a closer look though and under the driver's footwell and near the roll cage mount was rusted right
through, and had already been bogged up previously!
Had a nice seat and harness it is as well. I thought its
almost good enough to buy and try to find another shell - but this is really
way beyond my level of expertise to get done. Already took on one project that
was way bigger than I could do, and it didn't get done!
So... I'm on the lookout for a racecar/rally
car as a going concern, not in any hurry, I think I'll
save for another 12 months or more before I buy something. Certainly I think
you can buy something nice in the $3k range. Ultimate horsepower etc not really
a big problem, just want a toy that is reliable :)
