Icehouse Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Tim was my little brothers best friend. He's been wanting a 510 for a while. So I searched and search. Well anyone who's looked for a two door lately knows there are NO good ones left for a decent price. So I made and trade and got this one for him plus some parts to do a KA swap. I know it looks AWESOME!!! Can't wait to get it lowered on some nice wheels. The car went through a flood a few years ago and hasn't been on the road since the early 80's. There are dents and rust but we all know that just builds character :) Here are some pics of what we got going. Quote Link to comment
