You bet!

Which one would you pick, if given the choice?

I pick the 510 coupe!

lord that's a tough choice. i can't decide. the Z, specially a datsun 260 is one of my wet dreams. but then so is the coupe. dammit jaliya you give me some real emotional conflict there!

Believe me, I had a brain freeze trying to pick one. It was finally clear though; those Coupe lines are the sexiest!

I'm thinking of blue. Hmm..

[Jaliya48]

Please, PLEASE tell me you're fitting fender mirrors on your reborn 510? It matches the period correct JDM look you know.

[Komisiripala]

sorry jaliya. never a fan of fender mirrors...

sooooo.....

guess what i just won on yahoo auctions...

Wow! finally you found it!

[Jaliya48]

Wow that gun metal grey example looks fabulous! Another colour to consider?

[Komisiripala]

i did once. even traced down the lamborghini telesto gray color code. but i'm more inclined towards a brighter color. this being a lady's daily driver after all. white is still the mainstay, but i'm a little partial towards blue as well. there's a lovely pearl blue datto being built on the ratsun thread

[Komisiripala]

this is subaru pearl blue. somehow pulling my heartstrings like no other color...

He's abandoning the regular lamps for the SSS repeaters. Still a good find!

[Magnum]

Love the way how it says "Bluebird" on the grill

were you able to find a SSS emblem?
bdw look for rusts under the car as well.

[Komisiripala]

Doing a full paint strip-down and tinkering.

Some badges I'm still looking out for. The side vent SSS badges are rare.

Maan that Subaru Pearl Blue is eyewatering!

Talking about stripping down the paint, Komi or anyone else aware of a place that does sand blasting in SL? I don't think we have 'em down here, do we?

davy check the classic car search page on facebook. there was a photo album of some classic holden of chevy being sandblasted here. it was in negombo or some place like that. with a proper blaster.
