I'm BLUE Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 exhaust pipes ... hopefully able to get quoted in under 400 dollar range... for standard pipe. Some shops want 5-700$ for a thin wall steel standard exhaust ... errrrrr .... then there is muffler selection .... errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Build your own if too much :) ... ( adapters can cost $$$ though .... pipe itself for cheapo is cheap) Quote Link to comment

Ive seen your beads ... go do it! ... oh wait you have a guy that does it for cheap! Do that instead :cool: ( i leave exhaust and driveline to pros usually ... unless me being el cheapo ;) ) But ... learn things you can on your own people rely on others for things Or kits for cars Which is all fine and respectable for resale value and project benchmarking. I am doing a lots of things on my own i never thought i would do i am glad i am as i know i can do 90% of the stuff i was previously afraid of (at your age) I am doing a lot of that stuff now Don't bullshit us ... for your age ... your way ahead of the game ;) I like your 510 ... its really clean ... you got a helliva deal on it... and you're doing tasteful things to it... Keep going dude! I have a friend that lives on the east coast now Hes a body man ... I asked him how he deals with all the rot He says " just cut it out... matchup ...weld in and keep moving !" :) Quote Link to comment

You gotta start somewhere ... still, won't hurt to take a class at the community college on welding :D though i MIG weld (for now) it's pretty easy to teach yourself, just do what is necessary to make it look like the pros! The real challenge will come with TIG welding aluminum and chromoly The Z is going to need alot of welding, reinforcements, cage, and the intake mani i have to fab... that's when i'll know if i can weld.. :D Won't go into too much detail, but im thinking of practically tearing out the floorpans and welding in some tube that goes from frame rail to frame rail up and over the tranny to reinforce the body Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 :thumbup: Welding class for tig worth its weight in gold! Stainless too! Hehe Nice plan on z .... mig weld good enough for floorpan ..... tig is excellent idea for rollcage! Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have to wait till next spring, as basic arc classes have already started :( now they only have advanced welding, TIG, oxyacetylene, and labs... i need basic arc theory though to progress to those classes Quote Link to comment

Good to see you finally got your hands on one! :cool: More oics please!..... or will those require another thread? :D i will get more oics soon ;) had to hitch a ride with my mom to/from school today :lol: No (functioning) car <_< :lol: This 521 needs a master clutch cylinder and fuel lines to Drive! :D the paint is beautiful! oh and i asked you guys to guess the mileage... 3000 miles... according to odometer.... anywhere i can check on the net to see if that's true? IE records or something? Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Maybe it's 103,000 miles I know that stock 510s only have a 5 digit odometer, and I would think that a 521 would be similar. Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 ^^^ you're right, it just rolls over at the 100,000 mark on the 521's as well.... or 200,000 mark :P I saw some others mention in another thread regarding mileage to check out the wear on the pedals. It'll at least give you a rough idea of how much time someone's feet have spent giving them a workout. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 the inside is practically new, shift boot looks brand new, dash is cracked but that's because of it sitting, floormats seem new.. idk i'll take a alot of oics and let you guys decide, it's all real dusty though cause it was sitting next to dirt fields Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Mmmm :D mmmm another 521 .... :D And low mileage you say? :cool: Oics :hyper: Quote Link to comment
