dvaet Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 hey guys i was on craigs list and emailed a guy about this car http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/2086571379.html he wants to trade me my 510 and 800$ for his car do you think its worth it? this is what the car looked like when i got it http://www.flickr.com/photos/44982818@N03/ the interior is now all black with a fiberglass gauge cluster and fiber glass center console both made by pare. i just finished dropping in a freshly rebuilt ka24de and freshly rebuilt 5 speed. the car is not running because i haven't wired it up or installed my griffin radiator. there are a few small things to get it running just haven't been able to get to it with school and work. i also have spare coil-overs and some other stuff to go with the car. i take the train to work and would only be using this as a sunny weather fun car lol he said he has a set of street rims and tires to go with the car. the factory hard top will not fit because to put in the roll cage they had to tweak the windshield a little bit and weld it. maybe look into having a hard top made? so i was just wondering what you guys think. also should i post this in the 510 area and see what everyone thinks?

Bleach Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 How many forums did you copy and paste this same question to? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Those are definitely copied forum links. Only forums shorten urls like that really. Get the real links in. Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I wouldnt personally, but thats cuz I live in rainy Oregon. If you want a car that extreme, sure sounds worth it. But you have to evaluate what car you would rather have. Doesnt look to safe to leave anywhere other than a garage. Does the hood even fit? Looks like he cut the hood so now the motor sticks through.

Bleach Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 No whey! Keep that 510. Keep working on it. Do what Hainz says for your dime. Don't listen to his advice on the ladies ;) Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Not unless you have garage,big tarp,trailer,treaded tires and accommodating neighbors, and a need to look at that more than drive it.cause he`s tired of looking at it sit ; Example: FAQ 5. Why are you selling it? Need the money to finish my 1958 motorcycle project. Than why is he offering you $800?. answer: to get it out of his /wifes face. Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I'd say go look at it and drive it before you decide, you can always replace the cage with just a bar that allows a hardtop. All it needs is proper flares added and a proper hoodscoop Quote Link to comment
dvaet Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 thanks every one you have given me a lot of things to think about that i hadn't yet thought of. got a little ahead of myself Quote Link to comment
