That looks sweet!! I've seen you at several fun runs and swapmeets but never knew you had a thread. I'm going to bug you on where I can get one of those 120y rear bumpers for my dad's b210. He has the front grille and the bumper already. Will you be attending Datsloco Swapmeet this year?

Thanks guys, I'm very happy with how it came out.

 

Gus-Gus, I don't know if I will still be in California at that time or not. If I am I will be attending the Datsloco Swapmeet. PM me like a week or so in advance and I will let you know.

Got the front bumper and grille on today. Still need to do the rear bumper but ran out of time today.

Update. Not much has changed.

Put a new radiator in it back in 2018 and just been driving it. Other than normal maintenance that has been it.

 

Took it for a 3+hr drive to Bend area and camping trip in the dirt a couple weeks ago. Slogged it around, got it dirty, and packed it full of camping gear. 

 

Other than an occasional whine in 5th on the 63a and the seats falling apart a bit more just keep driving it.

You know I just realized I don't think I've actually made a thread about that 4dr 510 I've been working on. Hmmm...

510 4Dr shell picked up from 510BendOR early 2020. Been sort of doing bits and pieces as I've stalled out a bit on the 1200 KA swap (need to drop some money on tires and a shortened driveshaft). So pics in no particular order. Will be getting a Z22 and 5spd out of a 720. Currently at the putting in brake lines. Couldn't source a engine wiring harness and would need to mod anyways so using an aftermarket setup I got cheap and I'm modifying (high quality but not really designed for this).
