LilLance Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hello,My name is Lance. I live in Minneapolis, MN & work as a motorcycle mechanic in Saint Paul, MN. I am new to the forums, I was referred here by my friend who's username is Dat280z. After about 10 years of dreaming, researching, hoping, and searching. I have finally found & purchased my very first Datsun 510 two door sedan. It's a 1970, with a Cannon intake manifold matched to a weber 45 DCOE Sidedraft. It has fully welded custom exhaust, as well a set of period original 13" American Racing "Libre" wheels. I found the car in Fergus Falls, MN. The previous owner brought here from San Diego back in 1994. Rebuilt the engine, clutch, & transmission. After moving to the Midwest & driving less than 1k miles. He stored the car away in a dry concrete floor storage facility for the next 18 years til about a week and a half ago. When I called him and bought it off him for the sum of $900.So far all I have done since getting the car back to my garage in the uptown area of Minneapolis is changed all the fluids, a water pump, thermostat, hoses, two tires, the fuel line, battery, and a headlight bulb. The 510 fired right up! More pictures below. Been a while since I have done any forum posting, so forgive me for the slow uploading. 1970 Datsun 510 by lance_ackerman, on Flickr 2 Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 In case you have missed the not so gentie "hints" pix are a ritual requirement if you don't want to be flamed! Early 510s are always appreciated! I have a 411, so can ignore most hits. Quote Link to comment

LilLance Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks for welcoming. Btw, what's the "OIC" mean? Other than that, I mostly work on vintage Japanese & European bikes. Lots of honda, kawasaki, Suzuki, yamaha, Triumph, BSA, Norton, Matchless, BMW, AJS, Ossa, Hodaka, Indian, & a few select Harley Davidsons. It's quite the shop to be at especially at a mere age of 27. It's always different with every bike! 1 Quote Link to comment
