jeph Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 dam that sucks dont you have like brand new tires too? Link to comment
Tristin Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yes I do. This is my 3rd flat in 9mos... it hasnt been the same one each time so we shall see what happened this time as soon as I get the rim off. Link to comment
jeph Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 dam looks like you need to carry some type of rare ssr in the trunk with a brand new tire still in the wrapper, and one of those datsun air in a can for flats lol and you would be set. Link to comment
Tristin Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yeah Ill be picking up a spare for sure. I have AAA so they got me home safe... Link to comment
DatWifey Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Be careful you don't use up all your tows for the year with AAA and get stranded for real some time. I used them all up one year with my old 1981 Subaru. :sleep: Thankfully my last one was about two months before it rolled over and re-upped.... I squeaked by before needing it again. :D Link to comment
Tristin Posted October 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I hope I dont run out all the tows with getting flats... that would be a lot of money in tires. Luckily the car runs well enough that Ive never broken down. Link to comment

mattyhacks71 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thanks! Still got a lot planned so stay tuned... Cant wait, but whatever you do please dont paint it :o Link to comment
Tristin Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Unfortunately it probably will... it will always remain Minty, but I need to take care of a few things that will make me paint it. Im still trying to hunt down this specific color, otherwise its going to the Silva color I listed earlier. Link to comment

But what about the patina!!! :no: ahah kidding, from what I've seen already I bet it will still look great :thumbup: Link to comment
Tristin Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I love the patina... Im going to getting rid of some rust and filling in some holes. I dont want patches of primer to be visible so its going to need to be painted. Im holding off on that for as long as I can so I can keep the patina the way it is. I like it too, but fresh paint trumps primer patches any day. Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm all about "The Look" of a car. Mine is so far from reaching anything that I'd be happy with. Either perfectly natural patina/rat or clean, clean, clean. There's just something about seeing a clean 40+ year old car. Link to comment

Burabuda Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I must be the fucking King of Flats. As I drove past the car to call AAA, I noticed some papers on my windshield. I though it was just my luck that I would receive a ticket as well as the flat. Turns out I got these: hey that's a relief! if that happened in socal, there'd be no note & ......... no car (or missing parts) when you got back :P Link to comment
Tristin Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 hey that's a relief! if that happened in socal, there'd be no note & ......... no car (or missing parts) when you got back :P Yeah Im pretty lucky the car has been safe. Once I brought it off the side of the road, I had it parked across the street from my apartment. I woke up to another note on my car asking to sell it... I would be a horrible owner if I sold it over a flat. Ive had about 6 texts over the last few days asking if I disappeared. Nope... still around. I have done no work to the 510, but I have about 6 deals floating around for various items. Things will be changing here soon. Updates should be pretty good for a bit once things start rolling here soon. Link to comment
rusty12ver Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Hope to see a photo shoot with this car I like this car alot. Link to comment
Tristin Posted November 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks! There should be some high quality images at one point... I either have to get off my ass and take my own, or just let a friend do it (which would mean I would have to get over to Seattle). Thanks for the compliments man. Link to comment
Tristin Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Snagged one of these today at a local yard... now I just need a 69 Owners manual to fill it. Tdaaj and I met up today and wandered around the junkyard checking out what it had to offer. Found a few cool items and made a trade. I now have a new double-pop sunroof... best part of the new glass is that it has perfect seals. No more leaky roof in the rain! Oics of the sunroof tomorrow when I see what its going to take to make it fit. Thanks Ted! Link to comment

Tristin Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 damn man, thats a long ass build thread - that took forever! There may or may have been a little chit-chat in this thread with no work... Oops! Deadline for a few projects has been set to December 2nd for the Toys for Tots meet. I'm hoping I can get the majority completed in that span. Link to comment
