i had some s2000 wheels listed and a guy came to get em today. I was expecting some type of truck to pull up and then i see this Datsun 510! what are the odds! This 510 was a paint job away from show quality, my digicam pics are not gonna do it justice.

This guys mod list blew my mind, all kinds of crazy customization. It had the wheels off an impalla police car, the engine out of solstice, the read end out of an STI, the brakes off an STI.. it was crazy, every piece of this car was craftmanship. Tons of fabrication... awesome 510.. it really made my day seeing it pull up in my driveway.

nice! If I didn't have the rat rod, I'd love to have a 510.

Not THAT rare, my friend has one with a SR20 swap.

That's the first time ive ever seen a Datsun 510 with a pontiac solstice engine and WRX drivetrain.. i thought it was pretty rare.

The swapping of a motor into a 510 isnt rare, but a pontiac solstice motor...now that is one off as far as i know

Thats badass, about the diff though. Datsun commissioned this company in the 60s to build their rear ends. Then in the 80s Subaru commissioned the same company to build theirs. So if you have a r160 open diff in your datsun, a subaru r160 diff with 4.10s and a lsd will swap in with some half shaft customization.

Detail refinement is expected and welcomed.

Also check out his clutch and master cylinder setup.

Damn I apologize for sure, I didn't even realize what engine that was or drivetrain. That's BAD ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
