1968 Datsun 510 Sedan (Project Datto)

[Komisiripala]

I'm planning something something just like that with Bugatti and VVTi. Circumventing Sri Lanka. Between the two cars, I think the datto would be the better pick to make that journey...

[Komisiripala]

So the red two door finds a proud autolankan owner! Won't say who until he says ok. But believe you me, there's going to be ANOTHER dime out there! Datto's are back with a vengeance!

There was a red two door for sale?

That asking price was pretty high IMO, but hope he got it for a good price.

[Komisiripala]

No he got it for a good price. Asking was insane. And yes j-man there was one for some time on ikmän. Single owner for 27 years. I'll not spoil his story. Let him tell it if he so wishes

[Hoonigan]

WOW never saw a red one for sale. Good that someone here got it...more build threads the better

The only Datto missing is a nice little Z!

Jealously guarded by middle aged uncles and no one is letting is young ones get our hands on em!! This only a matter of time tho. Only a matter of time...

Gone during katina pinkama. The gangaarame boost

Starring komisiripala, Jaliya48, hoonigan, Schiffer and anyone else who's got the balls to pull this off.

We boost all the cars. And then wonder what to do with them. Over a bottle of arrack and a cheese koththu from pila...

[Hoonigan]

Ade Saangika karapuwa kanna honda nae...but a Z is way too sweet not to steal a bite off of

OK, but we need a beautiful female accomplice...I'm thinking a red-head...(and if we don't find one...STORY OF MY LIFE! )

Let's call our exploit "the moderately fast and slightly angry four"

Yes. The Sri Lankan Job also sounds good. I'll see if we can get a hot chick on board. Very few of those who can drive. Although a pious tree-hugging swami type would help to distract podi haamuduruwo.

We can name the cars after local lasses. Heen-menike, lenchina, geetha nagaa for example.

[Hoonigan]

Dibs on geetha nagaa

[Komisiripala]

well back on topic, here she is. more work went in. the dents in front were beaten out and fronr quarterpanels aligned. the front fascia has to be aligned next. slowly falling into place, this. deens' should be done by the interior now. oh and that's my old man in the photo. he comes by to see how things are going every once in a while

[Hoonigan]

It looks scary from here though. Deens seems to be pretty quick on their feet right?

And I'm guessing E30 headlights are in the plan?

[Komisiripala]

Yup. Already shipped in. With Indika. He has to figure out a way to make them fit.

I think the closest thing to a red head you'll find in this country at the mo is Anarkali. Tho I did see a girl who had dyed her hair bright red from the shoulder down recently.

[carboy2011]

is the bonnet slightly dented or are my eyes playing up?

[Komisiripala]

It's the edge if the bonnet. Not scraped to the lip so it looks askew. Didn't catch that til you pointed it out. Going there tomorrow I'll take a closer look

Car was owned by an engineer/motor mechanic for 27 years and is in good mechanical condition.however I'm after perfection and Will be restoring it to concourse condition in due time. Will post somepictures for the datto fans soon
