spudly13 Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 bro u for got the air bag its sitting here on the right of your pic .... lol Lol i know, i took them out so i could see where it would sit aired out becasue just the weight of the car wont collapse the bag all the way. That, and i had to put spacers in there to lift it up so we can roll it around. it high centered on the concrete when i tried to roll it out the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 PEI is Canada's Idaho. Nice 2 door! Where did you find such a great looking example in Canada? More info on it and how you got it. Quote Link to comment
danfiveten Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 There were alot of modern vehicles there, camaro, a semi, chrysler 300, i dont like seeing new cars at roadster shows, but they are from sponsor booths, so they get to put whatever they want, just like me, i was not approved for the show, but my sponsor booth still got me in. 1 Quote Link to comment
Canadian510 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 PEI is Canada's Idaho. Nice 2 door! Where did you find such a great looking example in Canada? More info on it and how you got it. I actually found it in Yarmouth (Small southern Nova Scotia town) in an older couples barn where it had sat for the better part of 5 years except for the odd trip in town. I picked it up bone stock and rust free and after topping up the fluids drove it 400 miles back home with no hiccups. It's currently waiting on a fully built L16 (A87 head with a ton of work, flat tops, big Isky cam, edelbrock intake, 500cfm Holley carb, etc) That's finishing getting bored out now, a 280z 5 speed, STI R180 diff, and probably a few other things I'm probably forgetting. Pretty excited to get it all finished up! 1 Quote Link to comment

It's still suffering from something overheating. Did you flush the radiator? If it sat that long... I had one that sat for many years that was fine around the neighborhood but overheated any time I got on the highway. Ended up being sludge in the radiator. Quote Link to comment
MarkB. Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 DSC_0344 by mbriggs65, on Flickr DSC_0347 by mbriggs65, on Flickr DSC_0348 by mbriggs65, on Flickr Thanks Guys The interior is Sparco stuff for the rotted seats and wheel. Autometer mechanicals. I need to replace the seats as I've gotten too old for climbing in and out of those old Sparco Revs. The engine compartment is not as clean as the outside. First off, it wasn't painted. You can see where the fire was on the voltage regulator. And a Battery exploded and left ugly splatter all over the hood and area around the tray. The tray has the mounts for an MSD 6AL. It failed, so I went back to the matchbox dizzy. On the other side, those are BBR metal mesh filters on the velocity stacks. Not much clearance between the filter and the master cylinder bleed valve. The intake is a Cannon 825. I got help with the linkage and other stuff from the local exotic car mechanic who took pity on me. He laughs that when the Datsun is there, in a garage of Porsche, Lambo and Ferrari, everyone walks over to check out the 510 in the corner. 3 Quote Link to comment
