I first owned a Datsun less than 2 years ago...I now own 2 1200's.
But yeah I love mine and love the lessons and advice I have learnt already.

Yep. Really trying to sell my car. He is leaving to the uk in a couple months and a buyer is going to look at it in three weeks so thats how long I got to sell my car on that one. But found this amazing 510 and just trying to sort a price out with a guy now. What would be a fair price for a nice 510??

What is nice? Does it have a full metal rebuild documented?
Original paint and panel?
Nice means different things to different people.
Put as many details as possible and we can give you our own opinion on its worth (remember, what it is worth is what somebody is willing to pay, which is different to different people).

It has been striped back to metal. Got all the rust out the painted properly. Interior is all new or reconditioned and engine is standard but reconditioned and has aftermarket wheels with original height.

That car has been restored to "better than new" quality.
I have watched the build thread in utter amazement.
I would assume that Lukey would be wanting a "pretty penny" for it. I'm jealous as hell even though I'm doing a ground up rebuild as well.
I have a reasonable idea what it would have cost to do this restore so I'm thinking you would have to part with some serious money to own this.
Good luck.
