Tristin Posted April 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 That is a 68 dash pad, no? Yes. It's either this or a '70+ pad and '70s are a different size. Made do with that's available. Link to comment
anth Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Tristin that dash looks amazing, was there a post that details how it was restored? I checked the last few pages quickly but couldn't find anything. Carpet looks great too btw, can't wait to get new carpet in mine. Link to comment

I created a Dash Refinishing 101 thread here: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/52916-dash-refinishing-101/ super clean man!!! nice job Thanks! Driving to NissanFest I was crazy happy. I loved the way the interior came out. I still have some more work to do to get it all back together correctly, it I think it came out great. Well worth the effort I put into it. Link to comment
jser12 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Where did you source your fender mirrors from? I have been looking for a pair for a while. Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Where did you source your fender mirrors from? I have been looking for a pair for a while. A friend in Japan; thats where I get most of my stuff. Link to comment
jser12 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I need to get me one of those haha... Link to comment
EdwardK Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 ...That is one sweet 510 bro. Love what you've done to it! I wanna find one somewhere in crappy enough condition that I wouldn't feel bad about turning it into a drifter. Link to comment

I wanna find one somewhere in crappy enough condition that I wouldn't feel bad about turning it into a drifter. Thanks :) There are some bad ones out there for cheap still... there are also a couple drifter ones Ive seen, but they end up not doing so great. Im sure someone out there can do it though, maybe its you! Link to comment

Laecaon Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I like the cold air intake... Link to comment
red76datsun Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 did you bolt the fender mirrors in after you dropped me off? looks good as usual. Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I like the cold air intake... As do I. Right now obviously they mostly for show, but I hope soon to use them properly. I got them for when I run those R1 carbs, but when the grille refresh and the show I wanted to put them in early. Normally, I liked them balanced (and not the unbalanced look) but we shall see as time goes on. I may replace passenger-side one with something. Who knows at this point. Right now I think it looks great. did you bolt the fender mirrors in after you dropped me off? looks good as usual. Yes, they are solidly installed now. No chance of them falling off now...

sedition88 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'll be looking for some at some point, but you could always get the headlight covers like the below oic... Just a thought Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 That is an option and has been considered. Its not completely out of the question yet, but Im not sure if it compliments the build style. We shall see how it goes though... currently I like both intakes. Im a big illegal right now though, as I have no high-beams, but whatever. Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 It's only illegal if you get caught ! (trust me on this one). I like the look without the high beams. What about a front air dam for Minty? Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 What about a front air dam for Minty?I had a duckbill, decided I didnt like it, and got rid of it after the mockup. It just wasnt for me... The last two things exterior-wise thats really important for me is I want to switch to new all metal taillights and Im getting tired of this wheel setup. Im ready for something new on both accounts. Link to comment
jrock4224 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 since they arent tru intakes just stuff tennis balls in them ... Link to comment
q-tip Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 since they arent tru intakes just stuff tennis balls in them ... They would have to be a pair of minty fresh balls though Link to comment
