Rollover_Red Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 so just a few hours ago, i went on a mountain run, just like we do every thursday....... well i took a corner way too fast and the brakes locked up and this happened....... the good things are that im okay(not a single scratch), no one was with me, the car is fixable, the car still runs(which is crazy), and my buddy bought me food after. i will post up more pics as i take the car apart to fix it....... comments?????

dennis Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Damn man!! That sucks!!! At least you're okay. Glad you are ok! Was it a slow rollover? The damage doesn't appear that bad. Quote Link to comment
BJW's FiveTen's Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Glad your ok, Sorry about your dime. Roll it like it is. My neighbor has a 72 510 that his brother rolled 20yrs ago, he uses it as a daily driver. Any who, those little cars are really strong. Good luck and try to keep it rubber side down. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 to double posts I've merged these posts. Please don't post in the suspension section that yours is bent nor in the brakes because yours locked up, nor in the engine section because your still runs.......... If I had brought another Datsun closer to the grave I wouldn't be posting about it. Glad you're ok can't say the same for your car. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I LERANED MY LESSON AND WONT DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! another one dont hit the brake!!!!!!!!! I hate seeing 510s end like this I saved mine but I had the money to do it.otherwise the car wasnt worth that much. It was only worth it to me cause I had it over 20years and saved it from a back lot 1 Quote Link to comment
