Datsun 510 Weekend Warrior...

Well I am a first time poster but a long time lurker. I finished this up a few months ago it is the original BRE Johnny Morton #46 racing kit. I added the Nismo wheels and brakes(I'm not sure what brand they are now) I love the stance of the car. There are a couple of things that still need to be done, like the chrome on the front of the hood, and around the side windows. I alos want to add another stock seat out of the re-po tuner 510 kit to complete the look. Let me know what you think!

great job on this one man. I love these old school 510's. A friend of mine has one and it's a blast to drive. quick little sucker. Great job............*Ryan*

510s RULE!
Love the stance and the wheel tire combo...try using clear red for tailights it's more convincing.
I'm impressed that you took such a rare kit and didn't build it out of the box!

Thanks!

The tails are actually clear red over a silver base coat.
The main reason for not doing the racing version was that the decals were a little yellowed. I kept them though and they are in a safe place.

Cool looking build! Very clean!!

that is one of the cleanest 510's i've seen. real or scale!!! did you make the steering column, or is it a kit peice?

That is the column that came in the kit. The only thing non-kit on the car are the wheels and brakes.

Nice stuff, love the wheels.

Let me know what you think!

Looks really nice! :biggrin:

But if you absolutely FORCED me to complain about something... :naughty:

FWIW, the trim around the F&R windows (and the tabs and straps on them) should be black, not silver. Otherwise, excellent work :biggrin:

Nice. Clean and beautiful! Keep up the great work!

nice job on the dime, not my taste of rims for a 510.

Nice work!
