Default Project Cars

I currently have a '71 Datsun 510 that I'd like to find the time to restore.
I'll try to dig up some pics of it when I can.


Please post the info and pics of your projects that you either are currently working on or like myself need to find some time/money to get to.

Sweet. I used to run 510s, great little cars. I had a 69, a 70 then a 72, plus a couple of Datsun trucks. Just sold off all the performance parts I had left a couple years ago.

Now my project car is a 79 Mustang coupe. Its presently stripped completely, but hasn't seen much work for quite some time. Other things just seemd to take up my time and money, but I hope to get back to work on it before too long.

Mine's a 1980 El Camino...(it's actually a Caballero, but for whatever reason we've always called it 'the camino') been in the family since 81... was my Dad's. I bought it in 98, sold it to my bro in law in 01, he pushed it from garage to garage talking about fixing it up, then sold it back to me in 07.... (my Dad passed away in '03, so I had to have it back). Check out the pics, you can see where she's at now... well, there needs to be some updates.... the engine and tranny are mounted. The front suspension, steering, brakes and wheels are on, but you'll get the idea.

My best friend had a 70's era Orange 510 Station wagon. The thing was bulletproof. Had many a fun time tooling around town when we were in highschool.

Cheers,
Vic
