[Salty_coco510]

What’s up 510 realm been snooping around here and finally decided to join. Here to share what I’ll be doing to my 69 510. Man oh man! What a handful these projects are. And freaken poor planing just made it more complicated. I got the car in 2013 started to work on the engine and 60 bucks later boom boom boom. It started like a champ. I got so excited that I started to strip the inside to look for rust. And left just the dash. Removed fenders so I could work ok repairing them and on the wheel wells. Then I dropped rear suspension send it off to get sand blasted and powder coated. Put on new bushing om cRoss member, LCA’s and differential mustache bar. Also got to remove all the undercoating and repainted it back with some new one. But I’m so dam salty lol that I ended getting sick and and ended being in and out the hospital for while. 5 years later I’m taking on this match again because life interfere with a low blow. So now I’m back to take on a rematch. So enough blah blah blah and here you go hopefully the pics work. And sorry in advance if they don’t.

How she sat for about 4 years. Which if anyone for doors for please let me know I need all 4:/





I stripped all the tape to check my wiring band I’ll have to re re so Lina and plugs and wires again. These are old corroded and some parts melted and brittle.




The after looked a bit cleaner and more decent.



Then then engine bay work was next on my list. I wanted my engine to start nice with out any problems bro fore i removed anything from the bay. So ended getting the engine to start up again and got immediately got ready to remove the engine and started to strip the paint. Aircraft paint remover did the job for me. Strong freaken chemical. Also removed battery tray horn mounts and windshield wiper bottle mount. Now it all primered and want to do some seem stiching. Gotta wait on my bud to do it and hopefully I can show you guys that as well. But for now this is it:)












I have more pics in my old hard drive and I’ll try to get em ASAP since those pics are the ones from 2013 match with the datto.

Found a guy selling a track car s13 with a KA24DE and a bunch of other upgrades to a half done project as well. He is getting rid of it and the only thing I would be missing for my swap would be the ecu . Idk if it’s a deal or not. But for 1000 bucks a Engine came out of their dads car and dropped in that shell. Comes with all this and I can sell stuff and get money back
