Creepy Cruiser Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 New here (been lurking for a while though, lol). There is a lot of great info on here (Thanks everyone!). I've been building, driving, racing 510's since the mid 80's. I've owned more of them that I can count, lol (I have 3 right now). I saw that UFO sticker in a post, WOW I haven't seen on of those in a lot of years, lol. Here is one of mine. This pic is a few years old. (At the time of this pic it had an L18, 219 head, dual SU's, flat pistons, etc... well you know, old school go fast stuff, lol.) Right now I'm in the middle of a KA-DE swap in it.

Icehouse Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Do you have any more pics? What rims are on it? The pic makes it hard to tell. Quote Link to comment
Creepy Cruiser Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 No, sorry, that's the only pic I could find of it all together, lol. They're just my old school 13" x 7" libras that I've had since the mid 80's when I built that car, and I love em, even though people make fun of me because I still run 13"'s instead of 24"'s, hahaha. I guess I'm just old school too, lol. Quote Link to comment

The key is patience and extreme anal retentiveness. Quote Link to comment
