BlackBird620 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 OK so today was an interesting one was looking at the 510 bre races with my buddy when he mentions that he would love to build a car for street course car out of the old Benz his grandfather has out by the fields so I of course was interested in looking at what kind of potential it had so we took 15 minutes behind the wheel arrive at the property to see that it wasn't even close to a Benz looked like a 80s yota from what I could see but when I got around to the rear I was shocked to find that this whole time he had known where a 510 sedan was just not that it was a 510 I knocked him in the back of the head and proceeded to yell and freak out for not showing it to me sooner 1 Quote Link to comment

BOZO Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Good to find another Datsun herder in Arkansas. Finding parts you need isn't always as easy as it is on the west coast. I've seen posts of people giving away parts in California, Washington and Oregon that I would love to have but shipping always seems to be out of the question.You are hidden so far in the corner of AR that I had to Google map Corning to find it. You're almost in Misery. Your project is looking good. Quote Link to comment
BlackBird620 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Got more done yesterday will post the 3 pics I took of the stance removed the torsion bars got the tank set in the bed waited it up need a coil control module for the motor and get the power wired on the ecu will have her running soon Quote Link to comment
