LeviGideon Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 This popped up on craigslist in Eugene yesterday and, just for shits and giggles we offered to trade the guy a surfboard and a camera lens. Shit got real when he said he'd take it. Drove up there today, gave him a surfboard and the lens, we got a title and a 510. Over the next few months we'll be putting it together and hopefully having it done for Canby. My brother should be making an account on here soon to help keep things updated. More pics later. Minimal rust, but completely stripped. Quote Link to comment

Will Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Best of luck - I'll be curious to see how many different 510s need to contribute parts to piece together a complete car. Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 How did I not see this on craigslist? I have searches going every 15 minutes... Good score though! Where in Eugene was this? Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Wait.... I know where this was. The guys name is david right? Quote Link to comment
LeviGideon Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 i have a rear seat - PM me good save BTW PM'd Wait.... I know where this was. The guys name is david right? You are correct. Up in Junction City. He's got a few more parts but he's asking more for each of the rest of the parts than he was asking for the rolling shell. haha Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Yeah, I helped him unload some of his other parts to members on here. I remember seeing this shell for sale, but no pictures. He had a complete 4 door he sold about 6 months ago.. By complete I mean he completely tore it apart and then lost interest then sold it as a project. Quote Link to comment
Dirttrack510 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I just got done stripping out that 72 2-door for my race car build, I have lots of electrical and I know I have good headlight buckets, plus I have lots of parts from building the race wagon. Hit me up with specific needs if your interested. Also... NICE SAVE :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Wow... this could get expensive piecing this together. Good luck. Quote Link to comment

banzai510(hainz) Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Wow... this could get expensive piecing this together. Good luck. Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!! I read this book before Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 The fella you got it from told me that if I helped him advertise his 4dr(which has long since sold), he'd give me that shell. After my part of it, and it was sold, he stopped returning my emails. Kind of a burn, but I'm glad someone here got it. Quote Link to comment
ProjectFeint Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Looks like fun! Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 cut the front for the rad core. or front half cut the rear for the back plate area. save the wiper motor.hood hinges dump the rest he got a title with it. that is more than what many get and for the price can't beat it 1 Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 with it in current condition you can build from the ground up don't have to worry about pulling engine to swap in a ka, 280z strut swap should be easy enough with everything out of the way already and be a good time to do an LSD swap and 4 wheel disk brakes 1 Quote Link to comment

I helped sell some of his stuff too. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 You should throw it on a rotisserie and do it right. Could be a fun (albeit slow and expensive) build. 2 Quote Link to comment
illest Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 if you need some parts let me know, im in eugene. 1 Quote Link to comment
MicroMachinery Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Should have told me, I live down the street from him. I helped sell some of his stuff too. It's all good.. probably for the best this way; looks like it's going to get more love than I have time to give. Quote Link to comment
LeviGideon Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Wow... this could get expensive piecing this together. Good luck. Yeah, we're in no hurry though, so hopefully we'll find better deals. We're well aware of the fact that it takes money to build a car from the ground up. The fella you got it from told me that if I helped him advertise his 4dr(which has long since sold), he'd give me that shell. After my part of it, and it was sold, he stopped returning my emails. Kind of a burn, but I'm glad someone here got it. Dang, sorry to hear that man. with it in current condition you can build from the ground up don't have to worry about pulling engine to swap in a ka, 280z strut swap should be easy enough with everything out of the way already and be a good time to do an LSD swap and 4 wheel disk brakes That's basically the plan. Doing it right from the beginning so we don't have to do all the upgrades later on. if you need some parts let me know, im in eugene. For sure man. That's great to know. Anyways, haters gonna hate. 1 Quote Link to comment
