Here are the powdercoated parts installed so far:



I have maybe 5 more things on the way into the oven for powder coat. I have a ton more bay cleanup to do, but its getting there compared to how it was when I first got it. Im going to be swapping blocks here in the next couple weeks so the plan is to tuck as much away as possible.

Also while the block is out, Ill be cleaning all the nooks and crannies.

I have the mad hook up for Powder Coat. If anyone needs anything cheap and lives in the Seattle/Tacoma area, hit me up:

So its been a bit since Ive updated... Ive been pretty poor lately so not much has happened. Ive done some mechainical work to keep her on the road and mostly engine bay cleanup. Here are a few pics from the progress so far:

So I finally broke down and washed the car. Let me tell you, I'm now a firm believer in a good car wash. She really needed it.

Epic carwash was epic... Here you can see the before and after with high pressure spray:



Here is some images of a gentle misting of Super Clean on an absolutely caked gas door area. No pressure applied and less than 20sec. after spraying:





Unfortunately by the time I got out of he car wash, it was too late for any finished pictures. Will post a few tomorrow after work. It could use another good wash to get everything, but I'm pretty damn happy. Just needs a good wax right now to make it pop.

The steering wheel reminds me of fishing bait.

Badass car though!

Such a great build. I love 510s

[tristinGrind]

I will have a few update coming up... I know this build has been a little quite. Thanks for sticking with my guys.

Tristin, is this a Ratsun takover of stanceworks? lolol

Car looks good as always man. Love the color.

Haha yeah theres a few of us floating around. I jumped on here when Ratsun was constantly down. Im a huge Datsun fan, but its nice to look at a few other builds every once-in-awhile.

this is an amazing build, in for future updates! I just have to admit that I have a sickeing fetish for these 510's and 510 wagons, and I love that steering wheel, it's gonna look amazing in this car!

Thanks man. Shes still got a ways to go, but I love her. I cant wait to throw that steering wheel on. You have no idea how much it sucks to see it just sitting in the box waiting for a hub.

loving the color on this car and the mixed wheels. that machinework is awesome!
definitly sub'd.

I love the color too... thats what made me pick this specific one. Eventually it will ge resprayed this color (or something close). Mint FTW!
