Nonsense Miguel, I like to see what you're doing with the restoration, it's as legitimate a build as anything else you see in my opinion, keep the pictures and progress coming please!

Now don't get me wrong here. I wasn't trying to disrespect your car in any way at all. It's a beautiful car. I just didn't think of you "restoring" the car for some reason, it does deserve to be in this section, there's no doubt about that. Keep up the good work. I know not everyone on here that's building 510's have the skills and equiptment that some of the other guys do, but I think there are a couple of cars in the project section that deserve to be in here. And Okayfine, where on earth have you been?

Now let's have some small news ... and here was cold and I had to solve and to shop for home ... restoration has slowed a bit, but now that the heat is back and I'm organizing to get back time for the car ....

A friend got me this:


They gave me a set of wheels:

I have already put the bushings:

The trunk has come from the sand blasting and already has primary:


And on Saturday I was doing a clean garage
Everything out here sunbathing ...


Soon, I have more news, the rest of the stuff that I need to mount the calipers should be ready ....

The state of them when they arrived:

Once disassembled for repair:

Material galvanized around:

The pistons are made ​​of stainless steel ...
The old pistons were in this state:

New stainless steel:

The calipers painted:

the pistons in place

Now mounted:

This calipers are from Volvo...The system of oil tube is double, had to take two tubes of oil ... but the datsun only have a tube, so I made an application in order to get just 1 tube ...


Now the tube already in place

The calipers on spot

Friends this week walked back from the door trims ...

I got a new rubber seals to make, because I do not like the rubber source here are the photos of the work ...

The new rubber bought:

As this rubber is not directly applicable, I had to make some adjustments to get to the place ...
A cut side ...

Then went to get the plate that is holding the rubber and put new staples


Here is a photo of the rubber in place, all the plates and springs are galvanized ...
