The 510 Realm

Finished wiring up and installing the center gauges, all I need to do now is change out the water temp sensor in the thermostat housing. Also got a cheap, temporary tach to use until I figure out a permanent solution, so I wired that up and mounted it to the column for now. My fresh air vent tubes w...

Well I got the car registered and insured so I've been able to put a few more miles on it. I think the front seal is leaking a slightly, so I'll need to replace that. Now I'm working on installing carpet and just got some gauges for the center dash piece I got from Gilson Design. I had to enlarge th...

Looks like you're making awesome progress on the bodywork. You may have already said, but what color are you planning to paint it?

If I were you I would take the front sway bar off Jam the motor in the hole so there's weight in it tow it to the shop get it 98% set and then bring it back.. I have alignment turn plates and Camber and Caster gauge is so I don't have to deal with Towing at somewhere lol Nice Mike 😂, she’s getting ...

Wow, that's definitely enough work to keep you busy for a while. I've read about some of those issues with those panels, but not all of them. Looks like you're doing a great job.

Turns out the #2 spark plug threads were pretty chewed up in my cylinder head, and it shot the plug out a couple weeks ago while it was idling. I could've installed a helicoil, and I might still do it just to repair it and have it as a spare, but I went ahead and looked around for another cylinder h...

I installed some sound deadening on the entire floor and up the firewall. Also removed the entire dash to take apart and clean up. While that was out, I took out the old windshield. The lamination in it had deteriorated and was terrible to look through. When I ordered a windshield a while back, it s...

Those are some nice looking LED taillights you made there. Great looking car. Patina! Thanks! I'm really liking the patina on it, I may change my mind and never paint it. I'm not sure what you're referring to with your turn signals, but be aware that since LEDs take less current to illuminate that ...

I put the car on the lift last weekend and did a bolt check on everything. Connected the reverse light wires and got them working, adjusted the rear camber a bit, adjusted the front toe, and greased all of the ball joints/steering components. The headlights also work now, there was just a loose conn...

The plastic tail light buckets from my car were in pretty terrible shape, very brittle and falling apart. I had always wanted to do some sort of LED tail lights so they'd be brighter and hopefully keep me from getting rear ended. Almost a year ago I commissioned a guy to build some custom LED tail l...

Engine work is looking great. Hopefully that water pump fix works, I had no idea the ZX pump was a different depth.

I got the car running last weekend, so that was pretty cool. Adjusted the timing and it seems to be running fairly well, it's a little cold natured, but it cranks right up and idles nicely. I let it run a few times checking the oil pressure, water temp and looking for any leaks or abnormal sounds. O...

Made a little more progress. Installed the starter and made the last battery cable, also installed the distributor, carb and various coolant and fuel hoses. Not a huge fan of the color of the NGK plug wires, but it's what I've got so they'll work for now. I need to bleed the brakes/clutch, fill ever...

Haha body work is definitely one of the less interesting parts, but great progress! It's looking good.

Thanks guys. I got that switch from Amazon, it's just your basic battery cut-off switch and I made that little metal box to mount it in.
