its all nothing until the motor/box/extractors/exhaust/seats are fitted and the front ride height is sorted, then ill be rapt!!!

Well done Brendan! I am very pleasently supprised.

How long has it been since your 1600 has seen direct sunlight???

I can't wait until I can start to assemble mine. I must come down and see you one of these days.

Top effort man keep at it!!

Lookin good dude! Keep up the hard work!

looks wicked man keep up the effort, credit to you !!

wow....thats probably the most Ive ever seen of your car man! looking good!
is it just me......or does it look like you have no bolts in your mags?

thanks guys, its an awesome feeling seeing the 510 taking shape after 6years of storage!!
Greg, yeah would be great to see you down these ways again, ill organise a hb nzdatsun.com garage day as has happened already for chris and bart!
Dan, yup i have new bolts to be fitted to the wheels once they have been tidied up to a better standard.

Shane and i have been busy today....

sr20 lined up for welding after modifying sr20 mount brackets:


sr20 fitted nice and low, sump sits 15mm lower than xmember:


shifter hole cut in tunnel to suit gearbox, gearbox fitted for gearbox xmember modifying:


ikeya 4throttles fitted with plenum(plenum doesnt fit properly as fouls with clutch master cylinder):


ikeya 4throttles fitted without plenum, can easily fit 100mm trumpets:


lower front stance, front suspension to be modified for correct ride height:


HUGE thanks to Shane for his work/help/advice today on fitting the sr20 and 5spd, i couldnt be happier with the result.
this week will finish off welding the sr20 mount brackets and the gearbox xmember, and grind the sump further to clear the draglink.
unfortunately the jasma 4-2-1 extractors dont fit due to hitting the idler arm, so will be looking at other options for extractors.

shit, you guys have been busy!
looks like you got some real good progress there man!
