five1oh Posted July 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 More updates: 🙂 I get to go see the car tonight too. Can't wait. Exhaust manifold finished coating. Front floor mats cleaned......WOW what a difference Replacement hood hinges painted.......then Darin spotted they are different so he decided to fix my original ones. The only difference now is the use of the bolt/nut. He had to drill the hole out and add a brass bushing to align them. Original Toshiba headlight.

five1oh Posted July 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Got to visit my car last night. WOW. It is so clean. more little things to do but I can't believe how nice it is turning out. The hood opens effortlessly now and I didn't even realize until Darin pointed it out but my driver door had a pretty sizeable rusty scratch that has now practically disappeared. Can't wait until the rest of the car has the same treatment. Engine bay is looking fresh. A few more things. My friend is taking the interior to SoCal early next week for me to get recovered. 🙂 Front grill. Insane.

five1oh Posted July 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 More progress. Because everyone was giving him a hard time Darin washed the car and cleaned the windows 😁 My OG NOS Toshiba headlights and trim rings showed up...sadly the trim rings were incorrect for a 510 but SCORE...they match the skyline ones.....which sell for $94 each on eBay....... Temp exhaust welded on. OG bulb Headlight relay and fuse box super corroded so Glen cleaned those for me (there is a video of the headlights working YAY!)

five1oh Posted July 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2022 (edited) While Darin is getting misc stuff on the car buttoned up I am having the seats reupholstered. Cut out a new rear tray and took pics of the seats prior to dropping them off at my friend Michael's house since he will be taken them to SoCal on Monday; What is really cool is seeing the stamp 44 3 28 (March 28 1969!!)

iceman510 Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Are you able to get the identical material for the reupholstering? Also, I need one original Toshiba low beam. Where did you source yours? Used or new? Thanks. Quote Link to comment

KELMO Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 When they are doing the recover (upholstery is a $20 word for me with a $10 education) for the seats, will they use new foam as well? I had the seats redone in one of the 1200's and it was almost more money than the car was worth. They did use new foam. I have some original 510 seats and have been thinking about having them done.

The seats will have all the same lines in the same places but the diamond design is close but different. Quote Link to comment

I have some original 510 seats and have been thinking about having them done. they are disassembling completely. The frames will all be cleaned and painted and all new foam and upholstery. Should look new when done. Supposed to start on it sometime this week and will send pics along they way. I stressed the importance of being as close to original. Rear parcel tray will be put together in the same manner as original and headrests will be dyed to match since they are in ok shape. Quote Link to comment
five1oh Posted July 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 more progress 🙂 First off, when I picked up the car the battery was held down with a bungee cord.....that had to go. And because I am trying to keep as close to stock as possible I bought an overpriced authentic 510 battery tie down.....well when it showed up Darin showed me that the mounting point was slightly different and didn't match my car.....maybe a year thing who knows........ Anyways after some cutting grinding and welding it is fixed and looks OEM. Darin was also able to buy a new post for one side.

five1oh Posted July 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Passenger door progress 🙂 Check out the before picture of the window crank....instead of the retainer clip a prior owner filled it with silicone! 😧 All fixed now thanks to Darin. Also window channel felt has been replaced with new OEM 🙂 Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr So I saw futofab has the repop bumpers back in stock so I ordered a set. Ideally I want to straighten and chrome my originals but am having a hard time here in CA. In the future I am sure they will get done but for now repops will work and I can either sell later or put on the next 510 project lol. Since my car was a two door it had rubber grommets covering the overrider holes so I am getting 4 new ones to have once the bumpers can get done.

SupDoc Posted July 24, 2022 Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Take the bumpers to San Joaquin Chrome in Lodi. They just did an excellent job re-chroming my license plate light housings. Only cost $100 for the pair. 3 Quote Link to comment

First 3 pics are prior and shows the hundreds of door ding paint chips as well as tail panel discolored rust scratches and gas door abomination lol Darin touched up all the chips and also straightened the gas door slightly.

five1oh Posted August 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 (edited) From another build thread I noticed that Dave from Futofab has bumpers in stock again so I placed an order. I plan on redoing the stock ones but still need to find a reputable shop I trust. Unfortunately I was shipped two rears by mistake but Dave already corrected the mistake and I dropped them off at the car on Monday. I also find my 69 owners manual I have had for 20+ years. Figured it would be nice to go in the glove box. Interesting they used a JDM car in an image or two 🙂 Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Edited August 10, 2022 by five1oh Quote Link to comment
five1oh Posted August 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 I was able to source a couple of missing parts from Martin War (THANKS MAN!!!!) including the missing shifter trim ring as well as some NOS correct 69 arm rests 🙂 Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Quote Link to comment
