yeh i have been having 2nd thoughts lately. I stupidly gave away my own 1969 dato ute 1000 a few mnths back. I have been researching this ute to look for the parts needed and my main concern is a front panel that sits behind the bar as this has been cut on the ute mentioned as there was a front mount when it had a quicker motor (now stock). My other concerns are brakes as the ones on the ute dont work for shit all and i have tried bleeding them. There drums and everyone is telling me thats the best theyll get.
The ute as is is pretty fun to drive (locked diff) and also has a extremely bouncy ride due to the leafs being flipped around and the car sitting on the floor.
However the excel is a less head turner and a less headache which makes it more practical for everyday use.
Im awaiting to have a loan approved and if so Project Dato begins which will feature a toyota twincam motor (just choosing one to throw in, any suggestions would be cool)
