the510keeper Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Pick this car up thanks to Jimmy Davis. It had been sitting since the 90s, you can kinda tell because the painted grey everything. all the trim and bumpers painted grey, eruo taillights and the whole 90s era. The worst area 3 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 left quarter and lower tailpanel has issues but floors are good, drivers pan has spot of rust. and right side of the complete car is great. Months later we washed it and added some doors Cleaned the floors And sealed them 3 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I'd love to come hang out down there for like a week. Just to gather knowledge. The way I see you guys transform crap into gems is amazing. I'd be stoked to have a tenth of your understanding when it comes to body work. 2 Quote Link to comment

shacks510 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 When my dad got his first 510 in 1985ish, everything that wasn't meant to be translucent/transparent, was painted white. Inside and out. It was pretty awful. He spent a lot of time stripping paint and swapping parts to make the car look decent. Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Johnny only here for a week, making progress This guy came over helped lift the goon over the KA, wheel barrow action, we call him BIG and he daily drives the RAT, 510 build no pics (we were lifting a goon duh) Ended up with Ground control coilovers and T3 bump steers 240sx/280zx breaks. Looking around it looks like to Datsun exploded. rear end is finished Bi Bi cock ca rear end 1 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 On to what Mr Johnson does UR MOM Saw some shit i couldn't live with so sanded fixed said shit and sealed with some greay thinking we would paint with a charcoal grey pearl, but changed our minds last minute. Light Khaki War Pig 3 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Sanded again Notice the front cross member is off for final paint, and the car is a high as we can put it in the front. I crawl under the front support and paint then back out We painted a high gloss on the engine bay (make for ez cleaning) but the exterior will be a suede finish WAR PIG style In natural light Blacked out the inner fender wells, and will black out the radiator support later Johnny started reassembly He need to poop had my paint crew come by after work, the paint is barely 24 hours old 5 Quote Link to comment

Stoney Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 You guys don't mess around! Love it I quite like how you always finish the engine bay and interior paint work properly, so if anyone decides to go all out in the future those areas are already finished properly.
