510 OC Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hello Everyone,I’m finally getting around to making a post about my 72 2door 510.I bought the car Thanksgiving weekend 2011 from a fellow Ratsun member. I originally wanted a 240z after seeing pictures of Yuta Akaishi’s slammed 240z. My dad ended up convincing me that a 510 was the way to go. After browsing Ratsun and The Realm510, I was sold. So this is what i ended up getting for my first car.Here are some pictures of how she looked when i got her.Pictures of the progress so far.Next was replacing the front clip.Future Plans:Ground Control Coilovers- front and rearJDM rimsDisc brakes- front and rearSR Swap (Red Top-S13)Rabbit/Golf flares (maybe)LSDFlipped front crossmemberSlotted rear crossmemberRoll cageShaved marker lightsWill add more plans in the future.

hobbes_the_cat Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Nice job on the firewall repair! I'm glad you saved it, not all cars survive after being hacked like that. I like your plans too, but I think those rear quarters look way too nice to cut up for flares. Quote Link to comment

Josh K. Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Nice job saving this car! Its looking real good. I second not cutting up the quarters unless you want some fat meats. Then unfortunately it's a necessity :-) 1 Quote Link to comment
