In sunny Perth, Western Australia.

Well, not really...would have to hold a firesale to raise the funds. Man, I need a (better paying) job.

Here it is anyway, a '68 Honda S800 with Datsun A-12 running gear, but doesn't look terribly hacked-up. At least, not beyond converting back to original someday. $3500 ono.

In this condition, it probably wouldn't be a sin to go bike engine, (besides, where would you even find an original drivetrain?)

Anyone here ever owned one of these?

Keep it in the family: S2000 drivetrain.

No way, use the 1000 cc engine out of this bad boy!

Neat.

That's almost the type of thing that I'd just buy and store for 10 years just to re-sell.

That would be pretty neat, although the much lower revving A12 would take away some of car's original charm.

Every available engine bay deserves one of these:

I was thinking GL1800, but I'm sure your idea fits better.
