Bought the car about 8 months ago to restore it and use it as a daily driver. So far we've rebuilt the engine, converted the car from auto to manuel 5 spd, had it painted white, painted the engine bay black, completely redone the interior, replaced the wheels and tires, and installed tach, oil pressure, voltage, and water temp gauges.

Nice looking 510 definitely doing a good job on it Save your money cut your stock springs about a coil and a half. That is basically what the majority of the aftermarket springs are anyways.

Awesome find on your 510 and roadster! You did a good job restoring your dime! Cool carb conversion as well! As for the roadster, an SR20 should do the trick...realiable and powerful at the same time. Lots of parts too and performance upgrades. Good luck with your project rides!
