What did you do to your dime today?

What ever happened to mesh71's 510

[jovial_cynic]

Just pinned down an exhaust manifold leak. I'm pretty sure that's been the source of the exhaust/gas odor that's always billowed into the cabin. ha. Did the old soapy water trick and saw it bubbling at the manifold/head surface.

 

Pro-tip: do the soapy water trick when the engine is cold. If it's hot, the exhaust manifold is simply going to boil the soapy water, so you're not going to be able to tell as definitively that you have a leak there.

 

Looks like I'll be taking off the header and getting it surfaced. While the manifolds are off, this might be a good time to start my EFI project...

:lol:Cleaned all the crap out of my project car and sorted it out for when I will need it during the build. Up in the attic! I actually have room to work on it now!

Took my steering wheel all apart and painted it, got tired of looking at peeling old "silver" paint.

Its different, but i like it, that pink was just laying around on the paint shelf in the shop, have no clue were it came from. It'll make people go "what the fuck" and thats why i did it.

[DAT510]

[hUmBoLdT_HooV]

You need the later speedo... But then I noticed your trip odometer... This one I painted, but notice the ring on it?

[Docsis510]

Yeah I see the ring.... What year 510 has the ring? My 510 is a 70 and had a white needle cluster with no ring... The tach came off a 72 4dr.

[Laecaon]

I believe they started the ring in 71 as well as the orange needle. I think 70 is the only year with white needle/no ring.

Late 71 I believe

[Laecaon]

Late 71 I believe

 

That could be true. My wagon was made 12/70, and came with an extra speedometer cluster with the white needles. So that could be. I painted my needles red, on the white background.

Thanks, I used Dupli-color Vinyl and Fabric spray

 

[71DIMER]

Thanks, I used Dupli-color Vinyl and Fabric spray

 

 

That's what I used on my seats and it worked great. I cleaned the vinyl up really well, then used some of those alcohol pads to do a final wipe down of it. Let it completely dry and sprayed them. That stuff does stink but I assume that's from the solvents in it. It doesn't stink after it dries! :)

[Laecaon]

I used this, but Flat black instead...

I love that brown interior that came in the 510s.

[Laecaon]

Oops, well my car had blue interior, I found that rear seat at a JY with no tears and good cushion. Got it for $40. Both top and bottom. Also got a rear bumper for $25 at the same time. :rolleyes:
