MYDAILYROUTINE Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Well, picked up this 68 510 four door from "the510keeper". I'm told that it was rescued from a junkyard in Oregon and is now here with me in Nevada. Plan is as follows: running, driving, stopping, steering. Then worry about cosmetics, maybe TR3 some stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 This was a steal of a deal from the junkyard! James did the right thing.. and I'm glad to see you got it! Very cool. Looks straight! How is the rust, any? Quote Link to comment
MYDAILYROUTINE Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 The rust actually isn't that bad. Bottom of front fenders have it bad, as well as the rear lower quarters. Floors are in good shape. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Excellent! Can't believe this made it to a junk yard to begin with.. :sneaky: Quote Link to comment
MYDAILYROUTINE Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Excellent! Can't believe this made it to a junk yard to begin with.. :sneaky: I hear ya man! Got the running L18, dogleg 5 speed installed. I'm going to button up the little things in the morning, fire her up and register it at the DMV. She starts being my daily tomorrow.

MYDAILYROUTINE Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Holy thread revival!!! Well, the 510 has had an L18 with a dogleg 5 speed for quite awhile now, I've gone through everything that has to do with the brakes, I finally get it squared away and reliable and what do I do? Pull the motor of course! I am picking up a motor that I've wanted for awhile now and can't wait to put it in this weekend. On to the OICS! 1 Quote Link to comment

MYDAILYROUTINE Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Woah, forgot about this car. Good work, looks cold... lol Thanks. I'm at a point where it needs to be redone how I wanted it in the first place. New (to me) motor, Z front seats ( less beat up than the original ones), install my LSD and drive the shit out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment
MYDAILYROUTINE Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ran out of daylight yesterday and I have no work lights. So finished removing the engine and trans today after work. Going to clean the engine bay tomorrow and start removing the open diff in favor of the LSD in my computer room. If I can accomplish something every day after I get home then it will have the LSD installed, the engine bay clean and be ready for the install when I pick up the motor Saturday.

the510keeper Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Looks like a engine to help me make another driver here n Datsunville :) 2 thumbs way up 1 Quote Link to comment
MYDAILYROUTINE Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Glad it's going to you James. I'm excited to put the new to me motor in here, it's lighter than the 510 it's coming out of so it should ( in theory) be a little quicker. Hopefully. Well on to the OICS! Pulled the open diff out today and I'm putting the LSD in tomorrow after work. I'm doing a lot better on updating my project thread this go around, kinda proud of myself. :rofl: 1 Quote Link to comment
