Rotary510 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 So I bought this puppy from the owner f the car since 1974. it was a daily driver until this year. It still is, at a verrrry RAT state, it stil runs and drives beautifully. So the question is...leave it and continue it's RAT-LOOKING journey? Restoration? or build a race monster since the 4-doors seem to have a better weight to power ratio should I decide to put in a my stashed Peripheral Port Rotary 13B Turbo in it? Decisions, Decisions Decisions...The car came with some very RARE parts...I will later update on these rare parts. Center consoles made out of ABS, rare headlight assemblies from DUCATI, extremely rare carpet and floor mats, cold weather package???Never knew there was such thing...this car has it. and ever more cool...a SSS 1600 engine :). HALLA!!! Quote Link to comment

The Dat-side Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Leave it ratty! Just lower it and drive it, you've already got a race car. Speaking of, how about a pic of your 510 fleet? Did you see there is a gas tank on CL for $20? H5Wagon is selling it. Quote Link to comment

Dirttrack510 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 It looks pretty solid to me, I'd get a cheap paint job on it and make it a nice daily driver, not a show car, just a nice looking daily. Drive the L16 till it dies and then do your Rotary swap. Quote Link to comment
VintageRice Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I agree with painting it. The rattly look is awesome, but that muli color panel look is........ :no: Looks like a harlequin VW Quote Link to comment
