Hello and welcome to The Realm. If you could put your location in your profile, that'll help us know where you are.

I purchased the rolling chasis back in 2010. I had it stored at a paint shop that went under and then re opened by a crook who collected some money from me and eventually never did any work that was paid for and managed to lose several exterior parts. :evil:

Here is a write up I found about the same car. I can't believe the guy was going to pay more than 3x what I did.

This was my first datsun resto/ mod project.

Nice Z, I love the rear pan work.

There are a few 510ers in the greater Houston area. Some of them even post here from time to time.

so here is what I ended up with - I am now in the process of upgrading the brakes and suspension and wheels before I transplant the engine. I really like how the custom grille came out = I have adjusted the left lower corner to make sit flush.( being that I am a junk yard guy... can you recognize the vehicle this came from ?)
