1968 Datsun 510 Sedan (Project Datto)

Some inspiration even though you have made up your mind about the colour. Popped up on Import Tuner today.

Looks like he has dropped a turbo in... that hole next to the headlight looks suspicious...

Or that aluminum bomb called the SR20DET

Damn that bluebird grille! If only I had $1000 to get one! Oh well.

Like the dash of color on the lip. Might do something similar with mine. Thanks hoonigan.

Cheers mate. Some cars can pop with a colour that otherwise can pass under the radar. Waiting to see what you're keeping under wraps!

so here are the seats all bundled up in VVTi's trusty steed, headed for deens. didn't notice that the rears were torn til we took them out. so they are getting redone as well.

and here she is. a little more paint scraped off. work is progressing at a snails' pace.

Speaking of Datsun's did you guys see that 410 2 door in a very sad state on FB?

[Komisiripala]

Aww :'( *-sniff-*

[Jaliya48]

Another J-tin headed upwards...
On a more positive (I think) note, I saw two Nissan 910 bluebird saloons yesterday. Good boxy RWD saloons!

[sachinwick]

It looks to be in a very sad state, and am sure you wont find many a 2 door of the kind. Googled pics but not much came up, unlike the 510s. And its designed by pininfarina apparently.

Oh wow. Some parts area clearing customs today. Will upload once theyre home

[Komisiripala]

so here they are, gentlemen. at long last, the shipment from japan has arrived!

the cusco tower strut brace:

the JDM SSS steering wheel. i can't believe how new this looks! its like it rolled off the plant yesterday! still has than new car smell...

i put it up in my vanity case, along with the old GSR steering, which was sold on ikm@n yesterday.

and those beautiful beautiful JDM SSS lights! this is all thanks to jaliya and schiffer. without the former i'd never have found an $850 light set for a song, and without the latter i'd never have been cajoled into looking for a set!

I'm headed over to have a look at that steering wheel! It's a good thing you're not a lunatic like me; I'd have sourced two of each so I had one safe and sound in my vanity case! :sport-smiley-004:

[Komisiripala]

Now that it's there, I feel like it too! I'm sure my wife will have a thing or two to say about that!

[Hoonigan]

Said it before and will say it again...second time today...that steering wheel is an awesome find! Can't believe it came off a car that's been around longer than some of us here have been alive!!!

The only downside of those tail lights is that you can't see them in action from the driving seat Man that's gonna be a sight to whoever's stuck behind you in traffic!

[Davy]

Awesome stuff! Looks like Komi is celebrating an early Christmas...

I'd rather have a better time looking through the rear view mirror, at other drivers going :o .

Mind you, this is not an Allion Mal light to make a jaw dropping effect on our average Toyota mentalists on the road.. Sadly there are so many of them among us you'd be lucky to have someone go awe behind seeing the lights...

[Komisiripala]

Sure fire way of spotting true enthusiasts from the posers. Anyone who knows what this light means will have a stroke

[Schiffer]

its weird that i get excited when Komi gets new car goodies

DAT WHEEL... still cant believe it. and THEM LIghts :') adenawa
