AZDIMER Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Im new to the forum and just got a 1973 510 coupe for my 2012 project. I build a new project every year and had a 72 510 wagon build back in 2005 but now have got a coupe. Cant wait to finish this. So far have been spending a bunch of time on body work. I have an sr20 with 5 speed trans ready to go in and am excited to get this thing goin again. Glad to find a good forum and look forward to feedback from other Datsun owners. Heres where Im at now.

DARIN 510 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 That's not a coupe. That is 2 door sedan. Coupes were only sold in Japan. Quote Link to comment
AZDIMER Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I didnt know that thanx! Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I didnt know that thanx! It's a Datsun thing like knowing that the L20 is a 2 liter six cylinder and was called an L20A after '75 because a 2 liter four cylinder was made. To differentiate between them the 4 cylinder was called an L20B. Besides the RHD and the taillights, look at the rear roof line and window. Coupe This is wrong... http://community.ratsun.net/topic/38905-l20-rebuild-questions/page__pid__633074?do=findComment&comment=633074 Quote Link to comment
AZDIMER Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Right on thanks! I had a l20b in my wagon with dual sidedrafts. I have a hookup in town with another 510 with parts I need and it has l16 with sidedrafts but not sure its worth it for $500. Quote Link to comment
