Re: Otodat 1200 sedan
What a generous offer, I would imagine you might get some southerners interested in it.

Re: Otodat 1200 sedan
Stripped the inside of the front guards, primed, painted and under sealed. Will leave them standing on their ends with some fisholene soaking into the joins for a couple of days ![Image](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171114/9785b2b194180652075c0804626c75de.jpg)

Otodat 1200 sedan
Have spent most of the summer trying to get the bonnet and front end sorted on this thing
bonnet was flattened out from being sat on etc
stripped the underside to sort rust/repaint
then back to black, which I have no pics of. The outside looks rougher than ever as I ran out of time/motivation so maybe next year [emoji4]

Re: Otodat 1200 sedan
This thing has been a little trooper, clean wof sheets and no breakdowns. I replaced the manifold gasket before the last cruise as sounded like it had an exhaust leak. Even got the right oval port gasket for once

But it was exactly the same, thinking it might be a crack in the extractors as the noise goes away when it’s hot. Time will tell I guess

Re: Otodat 1200 sedan
Wow, a whole year and then some has gone by since I last did anything with this. I haven’t even driven it for ages. Pulled it out this week to get it ready for a wof. Had a warning last time on a bit of rust in the engine bay so cut and patched that. Then found the exhaust leak on the extractors and applied some bird shit to that. It was a good 45 mins of chasing holes as the steel is getting paper thin. I’m going to need to replace them soon, thinking I may just source a standard manifold.

Re: Otodat 1200 sedan
Cool, I’m after the type that doesn’t have the heat transfer bit to the intake
