I got this '71 column AT sedan three years ago. My original plan was to recreate a rally car I used to drive back in 70's. It is a kind of nostargic project.
Florida car deserted in Michigan barn unmolested...this means 2-inch thick beach sand under the carpet and roden nest. First thing I did was remove everything including frozen engine and sanitize inside. I found a corn inside intake manifold. It is intersting to see how some people fix a car.....
My brother sent me new rubber/chrome parts (box on 510). That was a great help.
Gas tank has rust and tar from old (old) gas....need a new one or fuel cell.
When I was kid onthe prairies, I remember half of the 510´s in the area being that olive green colour!
How rusty is that car? Looks like quite a project.
Rally 510´s are still in my heart. My father rallied and ice raced ina 510 - I grew up in that culture. It was great, I loved every minute of it. It´s no wonder I bought my first 510 at 14 years old!
Keep us posted.

Love people and use things,
because the opposite never works.
Cannot find variable rate springs in my storage so I decided to use +23% linear rate spring instead. Tried several shocks and TRD Rally Celica shocks (F) and Tokico Rally-G (R) seem to be the best matching. Slight understeer...my style.
I think you should go with what suits you and your car! allthough i did see a new pathfinder that was this awesome color i really liked tonight. cant find the name or a picture of it its a gold/brownish color with pearl/mica it was super cool when i searched for it i came up with red brawn pearl mica but couldnt get any pics I think it would look good with some white on a dime
