I bought it a new house...

 

You sell the dime yet?

 

Nope,

I would kick myself if I sold it before driving on these WV mountain roads (bought house here).

These hils are just screaming for some good 510 screamin'

Going back to NY to bring it down here this week.

Lost the tip of my finger accidentally sticking it into the electric radiator fan blade. 

 

Sigh.

 

On the bright side, I finished fabricating the turbo intake. No more vacuum leaks. Next step is to wire in all the gauges. I've got an R33 dash in the car, so there's quite a bit of custom wiring that needs to get done.

What did I do on my 510 today? Nothing it's put away for the winter but I did make plans to see Dave Patten @ FutoFab this Saturday for a purchase of adjustable T/C rods. Damn I'm in a good mood today even here at the Plant/work with all that radiation 100' behind me and all that. Oh I know why, the Patriots wiped the field with the Colts lastnight,,,ya that's it, used them like a cleaning rag.

Cool shift KNOB!! Mine is the broken back half of one of the best baseball bats I've ever hit 15 homers in a 25 game season with. But then this leagues pitching was more or less like a batting cage at 80mph consistantly centered up.

Drive mine today. Probably the last time until Spring. We got hit with cold weather early this year. It was bitter cold the past few days and today was in the 40's so I figured one more cruise before putting her up for the winter. Its going to be a long 4 months ahead,

 

Time to hibernate.

 

 

Come on Springtime!

Got my air dam back on, it had cracked off when the wheel came off, front end landed right on it, but also protected some stuff by taking the impact.  Need to do a lil more work to the sides to fix it,drilled new holes to put it back on.  Then got the mud flaps from my 610 onto the 510, like how they look  on there, and really mud flaps are all the rage now arnt they ;) lol.   Wed i need to look at my passenger front marker, its not turning on, new bulb and still not working, think a ground wire broke when my wheel came off.  Then to put new speakers in the rear, blaupaunkts are FINALLY dying after 18 years.  I had removed the nice infinity speakers from the back of the 610 when i sold it, and the cd player but the alpine in the 510 is still great.  Just be nice to have the pandora controll and charge my iphone with the newer cd player.  

 

Fresh Front end.

Got the 72 up and running around town today. Love it. Also ran into my younger cousin who met me to her boyfriend. I got his number so now maybe I can get him to help me get that motor arranged to get it ready to go in the wagoon. Kinda hard to move things around when you get older and your health is not what it used to be way back. But that is good since he is into the older Datsuns. I told him about the two 521 trucks I saw south of where I live. If I can find a place to keep them out of the weather I might see about getting them to fix up. But that's another story for later.

Your a luthier? dammit why can't you closer? My Martin needs frets, I guess I'm a bit hard on the poor lil acoustic, wait so then why is my bass in such good shape? When you get older? come on I'm about to his 59 old is when your dead. Sorry about your health, but give it time, exercise and beers and you should be good to go :thumbup:

 

Hang in there..

It's all good just my skin is very fragil do to years of meds so I have to be extra carful or I get all torn up. My brothers are tuff as mules but they are far from me. Just have to go slow and think things out as I do them. Just my luck put up the cars and went to pull in the van and it killed and the starter would not engage and start. The good thing was a fells next door at the auto parts place helped me push it in so I could close up the garage.Otherwise my health is great considering things that went on in the past (loosing my eyesite due to a patuatary tumor, and later seizers). I could for sure refret that Martin for you or any other things like a neck reset or whatever just to bad I have to go work for the man but I guess I am glad I have that opportunity. Anyway for now it pays the bills and insurance. And forgive my poor spelling in any of my rambling. I'll let someone else have the floor now.

Well I bought 3 sets of carpet for my sedan's from a fella who I believe who deals with street rods. He had some sets on Ebay for what seemed to be a fare price.He has a couple of 510's and an SSS Bluebird. Also got the two steering wheels I bought from a couple of members here. The center horn part for the Bluebird wheel should be at the house when I get back next Monday.IMG_20141201_092059.jpgIMG_20141202_093407_1.jpg

Bought a 5 panel Wink mirror. Just wanted to get some things before the pocketbook gets tight.
