DARIN 510 Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 So I bought another 510 a few months back. It’s got potential but she needs some work. Got a lot of rust but not as bad as the guys in Oregon and Washington. 1 Quote Link to comment

DARIN 510 Posted October 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Traded a driver door from James as the white was from a wagon. And Por15 the roof. Edited October 31, 2022 by DARIN 510 3 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 good work 👍 While your at it... up in there is a cowl drain. It is tiny and like to plug and thus rust. Future proof yourself; open it up larger and clean it/rust proof it. Quote Link to comment
DARIN 510 Posted October 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Rebuilt the lower door hinge. Fixed the socket on the fuse box. Started striping the bronze paint down to the original paint. Blasted and painted the pedal box assembly 3 Quote Link to comment

five1oh Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 yay! Finally another build thread!!! 1 Quote Link to comment
Rustbin Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Makes me want to get back on my build. The tunnel side of the floorpan needs a little work if you need to use the whole thing and everyone should heed Skib's advise about the cowl drain. Seriously you do good work. Quote Link to comment

Why spend money on a 50 year old tin bucket when you can buy a new Tesla? We can all have what we want and not bash each other for it. Have your two door or whatever you have. We can have our own trash too 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment

Fuckery and provocatureship are a rodent traditions, but DAMN dude, trash talking my fellow East Bay guy's 4 door, when you know it doesn't have leaf springs like your melon does. That's some pretty deep seeded bash'n Mr. BT. My first autocross 510 was a 4 door. Ugly as snot, but the B sedan guys always dreaded seeing me pull up in it. Teslas are crap because they gap your goon? Quote Link to comment

If you read the second part of my post its says like wagons and 521's meaning me. Quote Link to comment
