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.

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. :)

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.

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

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.

Well I was in the process of doing just that. But I got hosed and the car That was promised to me was sold from under me. So, I'm still wanting a beater 510 2dr.

Looks good you got the dent out also it looks like to me..I want a 510 now.

Wait, don't you have a wagon?? 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:

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

Looks like the rectifier is coming apart. I love my new one and now I got a spare. Good job busta..looking good.

I'm pretty sure it was the rear bearing that came apart. But I'm no expert. Yea I saw yours, pretty nice, pretty nice.
