Heyo I am new here. Joined a while ago but just finally got started on the new car this week so figured I would post.

I am a driver, I have been professionally scca licensed and drive as much as money will allow. I also do all of my own work and try to do things as legit as possible.

My race car

I owned a 510 when I was 18, a '68 4 door with a mildly built l16 and dual webber dcoe40's I loved that car so much and even though this new project is just starting and the car needs a lot of work I still love it already. 510's are so much fun to drive even if they arent fast they are just so much fun!

New project
'72 coupe.

I will post updates on my blog of the car as I work on it and of course my race car and other shit that happens in my life.

Never did fill this in so here we go

Intrests: About any "different' vehicle, IH Scouts, outdoors, family etc

1973 510 L20b, weber 32/36, headers, 5 speed, fiberglass flared from fenders, riveted/screwed and generally hideous rear flares, bucket seats.

1979 Scout II in the middle of a full width swap

1961 Scout 80. Working on getting it running then it will be a sort of mild restore back to stock

2005 highlander as the daily driver

Past cars include 82 Audi Coupe (not a quattro) pretty rare, lots of fun old lady killed it.
73 beetle, rusty, abused it like a pickup. It took everyone of my beatings until I turned in front of an f510. He got towed, I drove it back to work.
69 baja bug smoked like a wild fire
260z 2+2 I deemed unsafe for the road (and you would have too) so I parted it with much sorrow and lamenting and gnashing of teeth.
and a bunch of boring ones.
Is my dime pretty rough? yep Could it use an owner with a little more mechanical expertise? yeah probably. Does it look like every other beige sedan in the parking lot? No sir it doesnt.

Hi there, new member from Coquitlam BC, names John

Just picked up a 69 2 door 510 from the states, former race car with flares and a roll bar, no motor/trans/rear but that will shortly turn into a nissan v6/sr or gulp a vortec chevy v6. I'll post pics when I get home.

Been into 510's for 24 years back when I was 14. I currently do not have one but I am looking. Here is what I have or had:

1973 SR20DET Powered 4 door, almost finished but relocated to Dallas TX for my job and didnt want to take it.

1971 4 door, picked this up from a cornfield out of Waco, someone on here picked it up from a guy that I sold it too. I sold this because the house we bought had foundation problems (like so many do out here) so we sold it and moved into an apartment. We are getting ready to get a new house in an area that is less prone to foundation problems.

2005 Evolution VIII, 500+ hp kind of boring, sold it cause it had no character.

Currently I have no projects and am going back to my true love, the 510.

Hello All!

Name is Anthony from Northern California 36 years old but still a kid at heart, I work for a hospital and am a student, family man. I own a 1970 510 that was produced in 11/69, with the later features, such as plastic pillar vents, and big side markers, rust. My uncle had 4 68 two doors and a few later year 510's in the 80's. (all the 68's were white with black or red interior). I have been to a many 510 meets in Shasta, and Canby,(my wife enjoys that trip) and I would often tell my brother how to build his, to the point, where I just needed to get my own. My wife now dislikes my brother who helps a lot with the car, and she says I have a obsession with Datsun 510's. I would like to restore two 2 doors, and 1 wagon... I can fit 3 in the garage if I put the dryer and washer outside. I will be sticking with the L-series for a long time, as I want to drive my car, and keep it on the road ( I have to budget my time accordingly as school and life things happen) I already did an engine swap; l20 with su's and a 5 speed. I will post pics soon and start a thread. I have met some very nice people, Every moment that I drive my car, I get a thumbs up! My build will consist of L series, very mild, engine/suspension upgrades. I have driven 510 with SR's and Ka twin and single, and although very impressive, I still enjoy the sound of an L-series with dual carbs roaring through the tunnel........... 8)
