I have my Dime just about ready to start. Interior is in, wiring is done, engine and suspension is in, etc. I am fighting the new bumpers and the grille and trying to get them to fit. I will be out of commission for about a month so it will not make noise until I return from the hospital. I can wait!

Nice, Martin! Fantastic restore and great light in those last pictures! You guys are making a strong case for stock 510 restorations.

Thank you kind Sir.
I had a lot of plans before I started but then realized that original ones were like hens teeth.

Another 510 saved! I can appreciate all of the work you did in getting the "correct" pieces for your stock restoration. It is a very lovely car. Do you have a web page with more pics?

That is the original. We got them here in 1973 in the runout models.

Yes. I kept 4 forums updated with the build.
http://www.nissanownersclub.co.za/forum ... php?t=3742 is one from South Africa. I also kept the guys in Australia updated
http://ozdat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f= ... 27&start=0 The build actually started on another forum in SA, but an Internet tantrum made us all leave and start a new forum
