yeah thats exactly what i wanted this on though has square headlamps not round although i can always change that. As far as the motor im going to clean up the body get some wheels like panasports then do the motor any suggestions? Thinking sr20det, chevy v8 or ??? you can put anything in it because anything is better than the 93 hp z20 engine in it:burnout:

I have a ka24de i can sell ya cheap. 155k miles on it, but it’s clean and it’s still torquey as all hell.

I fucking hate you… First a Galant Vr-4 Now a Datsun 510…I give you a month before you sell it.

I doubt im going to sell this one. Its cheaper to work on than the dsm(Devours Shitloads of Money) and it has i alot less computer, like none keep in mind i do have some body work to do it still could be a total junker under some of those panels…:hsdance:

Cheaper…Ya cuz dsm repair parts aren’t as easy to find as a 79 Datsun 510…You are right about it having a lot less computer though.

true datsun 510 parts are almost unexistant if something major breaks it could be a major headache but with no computer my choices of replacement parts in almost unlimited.
