  1. thanks all for the help! Im still working on it, anyone know of a good ka set?
  2. yeah I saw that. ouch ouch ouch. going to see what it will cost of have these repaired first. for that kind of money I think I would just go with the full ones. EDIT: wings west has them for 230$ a set!!!
  3. ok, Im trying to find someone to call and see if they still make/have them (rear fenders)
  4. how much? I have been thinking of using dzus fasteners on everything so I can yank it off if need be at the track http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.bakerprecision.com/images/dzus.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.bakerprecision.com/dzus.htm&usg=__4Cq7ToC9J2c0vHmQ5YddL7iWkkA=&h=323&w=449&sz=48&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=2E9362dI_oQ3aM:&tbnh=91&tbnw=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddzus%2Bfasteners%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26sa%3DN%26um%3D1 I dont think I can afford the beautiful full fenders as rough as I am on my cars. edit: how much did your new box flares cost you?
  5. yeah it did!! I would love to see pictures of it in prime form. Im not going to mold the over fenders back on, I am looking around to see if I can find someone who can repair the ones I have, perhaps lengthen them. Then they will be riveted back on with rubber trim like hainz said. Has anyone had fiberglass work done around here? recomendations for a body shop?
  6. update! So I started on the bodywork. Fuck you PO! that guy loved rivets, bondo and bolts. anyone know a good shop that can repair my fenders? I dont like fiberglass work. so. The damage. not good. lets look behind and see .......rivets to nowhere and bolts and extra holes...ugly lets yank that off and see what we are working with.... oh...fuck my life other side...not so bad, no foam. other than the ghetto fender clearancing....and cancer. and bonus! how not to shave door handles!! but not all is lost. I have started with the rust removal and making patch panels.
  7. yes, I checked voltage. The car is wired up for ir and I have worked my way back to the alt. I know its a gm one wire, I just cant seem to find one with this mount pattern and orientation. The closest I could find was on an 84 olds.
  8. I pulled this off my 510, and I want to replace it...but it has no part numbers. The closest thing I have been able to find was a early 90's saturn, but the mounts were different. so.....with the pictures thanks for your help.
  9. here ya go. thanks for your help. It has no markings or numbers on it anywhere.
  10. woah now, hey hey. i did not even put it up here, I just threw it up in a moment of panic over my living situation. lets not get testy. Im shopping for a body shop at the moment and chasing parts for my swap. At the moment I am still trying to figure out the "stock" wiring issues and trying to figure what random alt this car has on it so I can replace it. Its in no way oe and doesnt seem to be a 240sx one. any input would be appreciated. yeah, I found out that I wont necessarily have to go for at least six months, and thats enough time to get it into better shape to make the move.
  11. I was going to hang on to it, but I guess I dont have any emotional attachment to it.
  12. Ha, I hope not. I am pretty good about staying on task with one car. Nice vert though. really
  13. Thanks all, Im hoping to pick up my engine next week, but sadly then the big wait for parts begins. That and I have to figure out how to wire it up. it seems like every other bolt or screw in missing, and all have a fine layer of rust. The body work looks like it is going to be quite the chore, there is a good amount of bondo blending the flairs(now cracked of course) and where the door handles were shaved. That and a little bit of cancer to deal with, something new to me. no speedo. no tach. no power to the radio..good times The wiring in it now is screwed. I really dont know where to start. the headlight/ brights dont work. turn signals...nothing. Drives like a champ though. Is there anyplace online that I can find a wiring diagram? Or anyone in the Seattle area who has a free afternoon to show a new 510 owner the ins and outs? My last one had all the problems in the world but electrical. I know that this is something that I can figure out on my own, but I just remember how much nicer it was to have someone show me in one afternoon what it would have taken me quite a while on my own to figure out all by my lonesome. beers on me of course! To be honest, I am really new to this old tek stuff. once again, Thanks Oh, and I paid a little over a G the car, for reference.
  14. sure will be, ill be working on it in the afternoon. Come to the west side of the ant and say hi. I have been here for a little over a year. drive a Volvo station wagon for a daily. Bunch of stickers on the back. Its true, its true.
