That's an understatement! I persevered with mine for years. Even did an engine swap to the later model EFI unleaded 2.0L.
It still sucked haha

my breif experience learning to drive in one was enough to put me off for life, everytime i see an sti 6spd shifter with the ring you pull up for reverse i have a little chuckle..... camira spec

so how far did you get with the datto project? is it a complete basket case? might be keen myself or i've got a mate who's probably keen, i know he's been looking at 1000's recently

Your the lucky custodian of a real piece of Australian history there. Good on you for wanting to keep it original, that's where the history and the interest is I think. Don't reckon too many one owner EKs have been sold in the past few years.

Look after it mate you have a real gem.

Thanks mate. There's far to many of these old icons being tubbed and chopped for my liking.
Jester used to have one too. Maybe we could all go to a support group together.

Unfortunately, not very.
I've been collecting parts and panels (including a stripped chasis and body for cutting parts from), but never had the time to actually give it the love it needs.
It's a complete, running, caged car. A perfect base for someone with the desire to do something with it. Feel free to sort a time out to have a look and make an offer mate.

I wouldn't touch a thing. Leave as is and enjoy as it came off the line.
IMO period aged paint is better than something that will never be quite the same as the genuine article.
