SR20DETdatsun510 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 DOPE! BBS gold huh? I did mine with Black 12.9 Grade bolts... I like the SS ones tho too! Ya, I had mine polished all the way through too. I don't know why someone would not get the inner barrels redone whether polish or paint but I see fresh wheels all the time with fucked up inner rear barrels... Lame Good Job mang!

jrock4224 Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 i so want those wheels.... thanks for posting the eye candy they turned out awesome Quote Link to comment
BoostinBen Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thanks Jrock, Ill keep you in mind if i ever get rid of them ... I didnt get a whole bunch done over the weekend but started to assemble a few things, I noticed a bit of overspray on the wheel wells and a bit on my coilovers so i pulled them out and cleaned up and resprayed some undercoating. Also test fit the SSR's .. Need to get some tires for them so i can se it on the ground .. with no weight in the car i can hardly jack up the control arm without it lifting the whole front end but everything looks good clearence wise.

BoostinBen Posted November 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Starting to make some good progress putting the car back together now, I picked up a crap load of metric stainless hardware and am replacing every bolt on the car with new hardware. Also added Dynamat to the doors and installed the door guts n windows. Also picked up some cheap rubber for the ssr's I am going to go wider but got these brand new 195 Kumho's for free.. good enough to burn off once i get it running Quote Link to comment

sssr20det510 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Nice so every bolt in the car was replaced with stainless? If so how much did that cost ya Quote Link to comment
BoostinBen Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Nice so every bolt in the car was replaced with stainless? If so how much did that cost ya Yup every single bolt that I could replace i did. It wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be ... what i did do though was buy in bulk .. so i have a crap ton of leftover hardware. It was real expensive to get them in small quantities so i got 100+ of each size i needed. :) Anyone wanna go stainless? Quote Link to comment
BoostinBen Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 BTW .. I moved into a project Datto Thread since i got finished with the repaint and started the rebuild ... Check it out if ya havent seen it . http://community.ratsun.net/topic/51029-boostinbens-71-sr-510-re-build/ Quote Link to comment
datfan510 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Since this was a paint thread, anyone ever do a "patina" paint job?? Very few shops can do it well....but I think it fits these cars well. Anyone know anything about this being done with a datsun.... Quote Link to comment

dakotahchore Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'd actually be interested in a goody bag of 510 sized hardware to replace things as I go... Wanna make a deal? Quote Link to comment
