510BRI Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I finally got my hands on a 510 project. This project started over 10 years ago and was at one point just a parts car. im good friends with the family i got the car from and will hopefully get some pictures of the car before the roof came off. 2 Quote Link to comment

Rhapakatui Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I finally got my hands on a 510 project. This project started over 10 years ago and was at one point just part of a car. Looks like a serious project. Still more of a 510 than I'll probably ever find in these parts.. What are your plans for it? also welcome to ratsun! Props for getting the pics out there before somebody had time to ask for them. Quote Link to comment

Z chopper Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 keep it as a convertible, or find a roof and have it removable. Is there space for a back seat? Quote Link to comment
510BRI Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I am keeping it as a convertible, maybe do some sort of bikini top. There is room for a rear seat. im not sure how the top of the rear seat will fit in tho.. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 The roof provides structural support and rigidity. Well, do the best you can 2 Quote Link to comment
hosestop@msn.com Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hey that car was from down here I think ,roof was cut by Brent and Norm , who has a chop top 510 also ,I think they had a fibre glass remove able top when they sold project like 20yrs ago maybe ? Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 well easier to install a roll cage with out a roof getting in the way and a roll cage will add to the structural integrity of the car 1 Quote Link to comment

No, My buddies dad cut the roof off around 10years ago. Quote Link to comment
Abe Froman Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I saw pictures of the one Brent & Norm did, it was around Nor-Cal in the 90's if I remember right. I was thinking this was the same car but I guess not. Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 there is someone else on here that has a convertible 510, I think he is in Arizona Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Figure out how to take a spare roof and make it into a hard top convertible. That would be the bee's knees man. Quote Link to comment
510BRI Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Im thinking some sort of bikini top. Quote Link to comment
