DARIN 510 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Well guys I listened to the Ratsun community and you all told me to stick with the 510 dream so I did. Most of all the parts were transferred over from the wrecked car and updated with fresh bits along the way. This project started in 2015 just now getting around to posting about it. I’ll keep it short and get on with the oics. The day I picked her up 3 Quote Link to comment
DARIN 510 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 Then I pressure washed her. The dummy that owned it before me brushed latex paint all over her inside and out. Yah was not fun. turns out someone ratel can spray painted under the two coats of latex. So I stripped it down to the factory paint. I plan on leaving it in its natural patina finish excpet for the engine bay , front valance and roof. Off for paint 2 Quote Link to comment
DARIN 510 Posted May 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) The block Z22 assembly Ready to go in headliner in 😁 and how she currently is now. I had all the hardware redone in yellow zinc and a bunch of factory Nissan parts thrown at it. Also redid the valve cover. Engine block is Nissan blue/green.

DARIN 510 Posted May 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2019 I think what he is trying to say is that I transferred most of from the other car. As far as no money well, not the case lol. The motor is an LZ23 long rod. The valve cover just says 1600 1 Quote Link to comment

No Datsun owner is going to spend upwards of $300 on something that is basically a super model g/f.... not much better in the dark than any other woman who is along for the ride, only looks better in the light. Only reason she might be with you is because she thinks you might be rich. I'll keep my L16 cast iron header. 4 Quote Link to comment

Rat-a-tat-Dat Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 The only way to show off our models is to give them more bling, cause no one's gonna see it until it's parked anyway... show time! Quote Link to comment
