Eddie’s Datsun 510

Hello, My name is Eddie and this is my personal project.  I'm a very big Datsun fan.  I can deal with Nissan, but it it nothin compared to a Datsun.  My first car or should I say truck was a 1974 Datsun 720 Pickup.  It wasnt in the perfect condition, but it was a beaut.  I had to get ride of it because it got stolen, but when recovered, the plates were missing, and I couldn't get new plates until I smogged it back then.  So, since parts where hard to come by, and it was taking up room, I had to get ride of it.  My next car was a 1972 Datsun 510 stationwagon.  That car was my baby, until I got smack on my quarter panel and repairs were beyond fixable.  After that, I had other cars, but I still wanted a 510 or a Datsun pickup.  Not to long ago, I bought a 1979 Datsun 280ZX.  The car was in good condition, but i was dealing with alot of engine problems.  Come to find out that Datsun 280ZX fuel injection motors are hard to maintain, so I decided to sell it.  When I had posted on craigslist, I also made an add to buy a 1969-1974 Datsun 510 or a 1973-1974 Datsun pickup.  This guy had called me and asked if I was still looking for one.  He told me he had a 1970 2 door Datsun 510 just sitting and he wanted to get ride of it.  I told him that I didn't have the money at the time, but then he referred to me about my ad online about my 280ZX and asked if I was willing to trade.  I told him if he was serious, then I'll be willing to trade.  After all is said, I went to go look at the car.  I new it needed time and money, but I didn't care.  I told him that I wanted it still, so we had a deal.  So now, heres my 510 which will be my greatest personal project.  I dub this car My "MISTRESS"

Here's how the car looked when I first got it. Don't forget, It's a very hard to get 1970 2 Door 510.

The Interior was trashed, the body was in very good shape, just little dents here and there, but overall, no major wrecks or repairs.  So overall, this was a great start for my project.

Nice Datsun 510! That looks pretty solid, Nice project car! I have had my eye on a early 70's hatchback down the road from me sitting in a guys front yard under a tree for the last 20+ years. 5 stars. Come check out my 72 AMC Matador project sometime.
