WTF?? Seriously WTF? I thought there was one on this piece-0-crap ,,,, but i walked out there and,,, alas there shall be no buggy bumpers this day.. Figured this would hurt less than a personal message ,, getting your hopes all up and all. 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yea that's a 73. No worries. Is that your stash of Datsuns!?!? Is that a 2 dr shell? What's the story with it? Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 There is barely enough metal in that 2 door to still hold the glass off the ground. My friend Bill just wanted it the hell outta his sight.. But yeah we have a few Datsuns,, we actually have 4 running, driving, licensed and insured Datsuns that drive around some daily. 2 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted February 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Oh. So it's beyond salvaging? 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Yeah it has title and windows but that is about as far as calling it a car as i would venture to call it.. It doesn't even have rear differential or anything that even was in the dash area at all. Rust is about 4-5 inches up body,,,,,,,,,, because that is where the first bit of metal starts. :rofl: :rofl: I do have a decent 2door car,,, full car,, just needs everything gone through to get on road but 2doors aren't the be all ,end all of Datsun 510s that some seem to think they are ( in my eyes anyways) ,,, four doors more whores and all that and i was hoping to get a b210 project off the ground,,,,,,,, well,,,,,, as soon as find one anyway. :lol: Pictures of 2door ,,,,,,,,,, meh,,, if you notice that was the feender of the lizard mobile, up against the truck,,, before i started fixing it up.... Yes i had a choice of 2door and 4door ,,, and picked the one i liked more. :) 3 Quote Link to comment

Fronts Rears Old and new Floating One wheel needed some cleanup One down 3 to go Shock comparison. Installed And the beauty shot 5 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Looking real good just wondering Mike why a skinnier tire or not as wide that looked good. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I went to 175 for the lows. Lol. Also because I rubbed a lot in the front when I turned. I couldn't even turn the wheel all the way which sucked cause the sharp turning radius is one thing I love with these cars. So now no rubbing. At all! Went on a fun run yesterday and they handled great! The new shocks Probly had a lot to do with it tho. Lol. 3 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Looks good you got the dent out also it looks like to me..I want a 510 now. 1 Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Thanks. Actually the dent is on the other side. Lol. But I did get it out somewhat. You should get one. There's a guy down in SoCal that has a wagon in pieces so half the work is done. He might give you a good deal. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I might sell the wagon and get a 2 door 510 running so I can have fun and work on it.stay tuned 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Just buy a running beater 510 ,, and treat her like a fat girl with bad make-up skills. Then you don't have to worry where it's parked when your not in it,, but it is always ready to go when you feel the need. 5 Quote Link to comment

Oh, I see the 2 door post. Why not just keep em all? I'm trying to, but my wife is telling me to get rid of stuff (Datsuns). I said I can't until I have all my parts to build the 2 door I have. Atlas, that's what I say! :devil: :devil: :angel: Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 So my alternator has been making a little noise. Then this morning he started making a lot of noise. So needless to say I had to replace it. Didn't have time to do the upgrade but I will. For now it's just a stock replacement. Old one outta there. What's funny is a bad alternator is only 2 1/2 years old. Boy parts or crap these days. And these little metal chunks came out when I shook it. LOL 1000 thank you's to busta nut for coming through and getting me an alternator. 5 Quote Link to comment
