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!

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!

A funny dime clip:

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.

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

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

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