This will come up beautifully with a new paint job. What colour are you thinking?

No worries. Silver would look great, but it's up to you.

 

Good to see another datto owner, I've got a 180b with a rebuilt motor on the stand and a garrett draw through set up pretty much just needa put it all back together =P Motivation is what I'm lacking at the moment!

 

Love the old Dattos. Had a couple of 1200 utes, a 200B SX(blue one), 120Y. Friend had a 180B SSS.

 

It reminds me of my old 1978 chrysler sigma-galant Ive got sitting in the shed, its still pretty much a brand new car, the paint is still new, the boot still looks like it did the day it was made, the back seats have never even been sat in, and it even has the original tyres still.. Its only got around 25,000 km on it. Some old people owned it from new, they gave it to their daughter and within a few weeks she had ran it out of oil and seized the engine. I bought it for $100 as they just wanted it gone. The strange thing I noticed was the "chrysler sigma galant badge across the boot. I always thought sigma and galant were completely different cars, but I looked it up on the net (wiki) and they were the very first sigmas that were made.. This one has the old 4 cylinder 1.6 litre saturn engine and 4 speed box. I will rebuild the engine one day when I get around to it, I might try to find a chrysler club member to buy it to put on show or whatever, I doubt there would be many left in this condition.
