Use all Nissan parts on it. KA power unless you feel it's too heavy, 240sx or z32 suspension and brakes, etc...I dunno, that might get expensive.

A 240sx drivetrain would kick butt.. but no luck finding one so far.

the brakes are really the only thing you need. the suspension is custom built, so you dont need any of the original suspension parts except for struts/axle.

Is the 510 history?


.....................
"Climate change is no longer science. It's politics... Climate change is also about power. Power to control.... It's about who gets to decide: how much energy we will have... where that energy will come from... what it will cost... It's about simulations, scenarios and monsters conjured up by computer models that should never be used to chart government policy -- especially on matters that will profoundly affect our livelihoods, living standards, life spans and dreams of a better future.

"So hold onto your wallets, and hope you can hold onto your homes, cars and jobs. You're about to be put on a wild political roller coaster."

Nope, the 510 is still in the stable. Smile Its just getting a hot little sports car to park next to.

BTW, I got 90% of the chassis cut out and was able to get the lower part of the Seven's frame welded up tonight. So far, it looks to be a pretty easy build, just time consuming.

Also how about a Merkur XR4i as a donor car. 2.3L turbo, RWD. You should be able to pick one up for peanuts.

Heres some photos of my Seven project. Smile

This is the chassis after about 2 hours of work:




The rear bulkhead and forward suspension gusseting:


Here are the wheels that it will get:



The major chassis members.. You can see that I still have some more pieces to put in.

Those wheels sure popped up quick. How come you had to wait until I left? So I couldn't mess it up? =)
