can't wait to see it with the new wheels. I think it needs more drop tho'. Not something you see everyday.

I like it this way, and I like handling so I'm after an old Group 2 cars stance

[godzillus]

those wheels are very cool! (the car as well) Could you post some pics of the engine?

[a112]

Sure, still WIP though.

Nice! Almost looks like a Datsun 510 for some reason, but I still dig it! Probably one of those cases where JP copied an EU car in their design.

Nice work! always wanted a 128

Woo! That is a neat little car. Looks like an Italian Datsun 510. Which came first?

[karmannMarco]

The 128 design was derived from the 124 berlina. Which was designed in 1964 and first sold in 1966. The first 510 came out in 1968.
Many Japanese GT's of the 60s and 70s were styled after European cars. There are also a few Bertone , Pininfarina and Giugiaro designed Japanese cars.
This is the 124 from '66
This is what I get for working at a vintage Italian car restoration shop. lol

On topic....car looks awesome! Looking forward to more
