Old skool projects, whats out there?

[Big_Dave]

510's owned by IA'ers, Lex, BabyJ, Btlfed, Whtdc2, F8d2blk, Postscript, rt132kp61, Any one else on here have a 510? I have 2 510 wagons but they are a long ways from being in the road, I'm taking the body and putting it onto an early toyota truck frame and then bodydropping the floorpan, baggin' it, the full minitruck treatment. It should be cool. But first the bosozoku 1974 corona mark II. I'm gonna start a thread about, Old skool projects, whats out there?
Post some photos of any old skool projects started on or not.
Here is our Zero project 1977 Celica GT. We've just lowered it, put some Old Skool JDM Enkei shoes on it, a front lip off of a 510, weber carb, and a mid range cam in the 20R mill. We have big plans for the GT. Install a volvo b230ft engine on megasquirt, Install a body kit and paint the body to look like Eleanor from gone in 60 seconds, Not really sure about the "Go baby go" button. But, this is our initial plan. It's a part time daily driver right now.

[87 Turbo II]

Kinda, I'm not restoring, but rather trying to make it more fun to track. It's already had some engine work (see sig) but I want to get full racingbeat suspension and some wider wheels and rubber.

Cool, !st gen 7's have been coming out of the wood work this year. Hard to find wheels for that early mazda pattern. Are you gonna do a GSL SE rear LSD and front spindle conversion or just try to find wheels? Fun cars!

[Big_Dave]

C'mon, I kow of five 510 projects right now!!! Someone's gotta have a corolla that they are thinking about fixing, (a'hem Puregroove), A Datsun roadster (Hint..hint Alirae did you get your brakes fixed on your PROJECT)

There's a fender on there. I don't have any recent pics. Goin' by Dave's shop this week. woohoo!

[Revmaynard]

Technically I'm welcome to restore this, it's my dad's but he has no plans for it. It needs floor pans so I kind of lost interest after replacing the trunk lid and some stuff. It's a 1969 BMW 1600 with a 2002 2.0l.

[JITB]

^ how big are 2002's? what size car would u compare it to? smaller than a 3 series? inside wise, like leg room..

[Revmaynard]

Probably close to a 3, it is a two door so the rear wouldn't have much, but I can say the front has PLENTY of leg room. The 1600 is lighter than the 2002 as well.

[Big_Dave]

That bimmer need to be fixed! cool rare car! Floor pan aren't that tough if you have a welder and a nice compressor.

Just messin with you Eddie, Thanks for postin up!

They are pretty close to the size of a Datsun 510.

I'm going to try and get the L.E wheels from the 83 limited. they're 14 by 6 instead of 13 by 5. I'm maxing these out on 185s, the others will fit 215s safely and that's enough grip for a 2300 pound car, considering my old TII was 700 pounds heavier and gripped like crazy on 225s.

[Revmaynard]

I have more pictures I can post to help with an idea.

My 69 Firebird and Beetle Dunebuggy. I've hade the dunebuggy for years and done nothing to it. Maybe I'll fix it up one day. Also have a 73 Impala, 56 Ford Fairlane and 1980 porsche 924 but no pictures. My dad has a 36 Chevy Master Coupe, 1966 Cadillac Eldorado, and 1956 chevy truck. All but the Fairlane and Beetle are in good shape.

It was my first car project. Its a base model that had a 4.1 overhead cam engine. I put a built pontiac 350 and muncie 4 speed in it around 1998 when I was 16. It will have a LS1 or newer engine someday.

these are my current toys, previous rides include 5 FC rx-7s, an FB rx-7, z32 300zxTT, and my favorite by far, an E30 318i. some people like thier current model fancy optioned cars, but i wouldnt have it any other way.

so you've got some experience going on by now. Nice toys! good luck!:goodjob:

[Big_Dave]

Twincannon, What about the v8 Z? thats got to be fun and a handful. Eh?

[twincannon26]

haha yea its fun, but it has a severe traction problem, you lose the rear end way too easy. it has the factory 4.10 or so open diff. th350 spins the 235's all the way through first, halfway through second, and into third. need to get the lsd from a z31 turbo, just havent found a good price on one yet.

but if you get bored and wanna build something really fast for pretty cheap, i highly reccomend a v8 z or rx-7.

[Big_Dave]

Heck yeah! you def need an LSD. I've heard of old dirt trackers filling the diff with lead filings and lead pieces. It works like a cross between a welded diff and an LSD.

[JITB]

It's a GLC. :) But it has some tricks up its sleeve.:ninja:


you gonna keep that motor in it?

Is that a 1.3 or 1.5? i think you should drop a b6t in it, or even a BP.. :eek:

[BABY J]

It's in line behind 2 other projects - my datto 510, and a 94 SeR I grabbed from Alabama (I may sell this) - but I will have it driving and registered w/in the next 2 months until I figure out the end game for it. I'm Mazda stupid, so I need to research the engines/options before I start hacking it up.

70 Chevelle My grandfather bought this car new in 70 and gave it to me a few years ago
The Two blazers are my buddy's dads...I just finished the motor in the one on the left a couple months ago
64 GTO this is another we have took frame off...frame is powdercoated and body was rotisseried and done in a bright red. we are assembling it with all new everything and some hotchkis suspension. Its a big block w/ a 4 spd.

thats why you should sell it to me! with the GlC you have alot of options B6t turbo 1.6 from the gtx/capri xr2/323 gt. Even the b6 sohc from the 323. The big swap would include a Bp 1.8 in it, but you would hhave to do some hacking. The best swap money wise would be the b6t.

ok ,I found a set and I've ordered them. It's going to look so good when I repaint them and get them on the car.

WOW tell ur dad to STEP OFF!! That would be a nice car as a daily...

[jwrape]

Mine is in my Sig

[dimer4life]

Damn, all this old skool projects make me wish I never sold my 510's.

[Big_Dave]

Wow, lotsa cool projects around here. Here are some more projects we at Zero have in store for the future. This is the 1983 RWD Datsun Maxima/810 that was at the dam old skool meet. wee took the old 120 HP inline 6 out of the car, fabbed an oil pick up tube and made som mods to the Maxima oil pan, Then put a 176 HP FI 280 z motor into the car. We eliminated the FI and put a set of rebuilt twin 1970 240Z SU carbs on to the 280 z motor. We used S-13 240 struts in the rear and some cut heavy springs up front. All of the parts including the car came straight out of our junkyard!

[Big_Dave]

Here is our 1976 Datsun 710, It has the original L-20b with a weber 32/36 DGV carb and an electronic distributor. It has working original A/C and is a 4-speed. It runs and drives great, but It's not going on the road until I sell another car. I can only insure 3 cars at a time. We're going to paint the car, lower it put 208zx front brakes on it, some cool wheels, and later after the suspension and brakes are sorted out we going to install a Volvo B230ft engine. This car has a straight axle in the rear which is unusual for a Datsun L-series car. It should take high horsepower well.

[Big_Dave]

1962 Mercedes 180 Rat Rod project. Its gonna be powered by a 13b turbo rotory with the exhaust coming out of the passeger fender. Gonna widen the fenders, french the head lights, chevron rear lamps, maybe chop the top. It's going flat black and rust with the factory red leather interior. It's hard to tell what size the car is from the photos, but It's about the size of a 2000 honda civic

[Big_Dave]

Her is a Sunbeam Alpine. It may get a complete v8 drive train out of a BMW. If we don't sell it. (depends on time and money)

[BABY J]

showoff

[Big_Dave]

I can't build'em if I can't sell'em....Lol @ the I'm not a gynecologist....

[Logan]

Technically I'm welcome to restore this, it's my dad's but he has no plans for it. It needs floor pans so I kind of lost interest after replacing the trunk lid and some stuff. It's a 1969 BMW 1600 with a 2002 2.0l.
