First i'd like to introduce myself. My name is Carlos, and I am in love with Datsuns. The 510 was the car that started it all. Like a high school sweetheart, I just couldn't stop thinking about it. And actually because of a high school sweetheart I ended up neglecting it for several months. I learned not to do that again haha. Anyways, this car taught me everything I know today. Not just about cars, but about life too. Patience, Perseverance, Responsibility and such. I'm kind of different than other car owners, because this is my first project, i'm beyond attached to this car. Its the first thing I check up in the morning, and the last thing on my mind as I go to sleep. I'm not kidding, I'll never part with it. As you'll later find out, my car gets hit.. and I was devastated to say the least. But, like I said, this car taught me something. She didn't give up on me in all these years of service, WHY should I give up on her? Well anyways, This is the life long project that will never end. I'm always going to try to make it faster, smoother and more agile. One day, I'll stop updating this thread.. Thats the day she reaches her purest form...
I transferred all my posts from another Forum, sorry. Also, the ignore the music videos at the end. Theyre place holders. Feel free to listen to the songs, im passionate about music too. lol.

Bear with me, I have to back track the last 2 years of progress.
Since my dad owns a towing company, he often times buys "scrap" cars for relatively cheap. one day a guy called my dad about a '72 Datsun 510.
I flipped.
$75 in guys hand, 510 in mine. every single penny was worth it. it had MINIMAL surface rust/ body damage. just 2 dings one in the front under the grill and one on the rear bumper.
ever since that day, I fell in love with everything Datsun.
