Would you possibly be up for a hood trade? I'm trying to find a decent hood for my car in that color (...though this one is the wrong blue for you!)

For the first time in about 30 years, I found an S10 in a salvage yard. My very first PL510 had an L20 and dogleg swapped from a 200SX, and I loved that combo. Anyway, the car is mostly there, and I intend to grab:
Dogleg trans
Matchbox dist (if still there; forgot to check)
Louvers?
What else should be saved?
What crosses over to PL510s? Steering, struts, anything? How similar is that front x-member and arms?
Any other electrical or convenience upgrades over the 510? Viscous fan coupler?
And there was an HL510 wagon there too. 5 speed...
That sunroof is pretty huge!
I don't think much crosses over - the 200SX chassis is based on the B210. It does have a full set of gauges with a 4cyl tach, which could be useful. A lot of the switches could be useful too (I put some of those light-up green switches in my 510.)The L20B could be useful to someone.
I'm curious if the 5-speed in the HL510 is the same length as the 200SX. They should both be doglegs. I think it should be if it is an earlier L-series model, but I'm not sure. -
Oh! I thought it stood for Bring A Trust-fund.

It has been sitting for quite some time... initial cause for neglect, one blown head gasket. Engine is a CA20(E), bolted to a FS5W71B 5 speed tranny. Not shown is the pieces missing from the front end. Mostly complete, just requires a plethora of TLC.
'Cyclops' comes to mind....
Love those wheels - they remind me of dice from Dungeons and Dragons!

Bid to US $5,600.00
I was going to bid on that one, but the price was just a bit too zany.
It looks like a pretty easy car to get back on the road, but it seems like the current owner thought so too, and gave up (the thermostat housing is connected in one picture and gone in another. ...I wonder why they threw in the towel, and didn't reassemble it a bit for the pictures.)-

Glad you got to go on a long trip in your 610! The rattlecan paint looks like it was bleached by the CA sun, so it looks ready for being out here.
I drove my 710 hardtop cross country - it was a memorable experience!-

honestly how eloquently can you describe something that is the same shape as a cardboard box ..
"maintains it's rectilinear form with a dazzling degree of rectangularity."

I see that you're testing out all of the wheel options!
I found a place in LA that had the window weatherstripping ...after driving cross country with no radio and the wind going WAHHHHHHHHHH!
Here's some info from an email from 9 years ago (this was the weatherstripping between the side windows.):
18" pieces of E401 are in stock. You can come in to p/u or I
can send in the mail. All I need is a Credit Card. Let me know. You can call
909-874-3040 & ask for Joe Jr. Thank you. Joe-

Keep on righting those wrongs!
It looks like the floor repair is going really well - did you find a 710 donor, or are you remaking the rails and panels?

Thank you! Car will be repainted in code 012, the original silver.
I remember this car popping up on Craigslist at about the same time that I picked up my 710 about 10 years ago - I think I got scared off by it having an automatic transmission?
Anyway, really curious to see how it turns out!-

Hi Will!
Hi Mike!
Just stalking some 710s over here. My F10 is getting trucked off to its new owner in the next couple days and I'm trying to figure out what sort of car I should track down next. (a 1200 coupe maybe??)
...but I don't want to derail the thread!
Nice to see work progressing on this car - getting a car on a rotisserie is a rare opportunity. What color will it be once it's back together? Back to silver or something new?
(also, congrats on your graduation?)-

Here's an unusual car up in WA, not quite sure what it is. 1979 is the build year, F10?
Nothing I need but noticed it in the back corner of the interwebs so thought I'd pass it on.
1979-1980ish Datsun 310GX
Looks like copart also has a Triumph GT6 masquerading as a Datsun 200SX

...didn't want to take away from the originality of the paint and repair rust/dents
...rhino-lined the engine bay.

Anyone know where I could find a oil pan and drive line?
I've had good luck with the junkyard search at car-part.com

Rare doesn't always translate to valuable. It's a visually disturbing, oddball make with zero fallowing and a lack of racing heritage.Yep! I love how my F10 looks like the design specifications told a few Japanese car stylists to make a tiny car inspired by godzilla, spaceships, and the Citroen SM.

If only I had the space....
It's tempting, but the price is more than double what it should be.
It's a mighty high price for a car with flat tires and a sledgehammer on the roof.

I'm curious what became of this project - it looks like an interesting start!!
