First Post

I guess I've lagged as usual, starting the log for a project thats already well begun!
Some rough goals are 350whp reliable on a gt35 topmounted on a s13 redtop with 740cc injectors and a standalone ecu, going for 450whp max boost and am interested in playing around with methanol injection. I shall write a full intro later, for now I'll post some pics of what I already have and the plans should be evident.

On the uHaul the night I got it home.

It all started with this orange 72 Datsun 510 I found on Craigslist. It was listed for 2400 and the mexicans that had it back in the corner of a palet recycling yard were very hard to deal with to say the least. The car was 15ft from the mexican border in Otay, with an Arizona title in someone elses name, but I wasn't about to let it slip through my hands! so after calling up the DMV to make sure it wasnt reported stolen, I bought it outright for 2200$ It had no engine but boxes and boxes of parts from who I assumed to be the original owner. 

   

Has original engine bay utility light

Only two coats of paint!

The car was perfect for my project. It was engineless and ready. It had some tasteful mods already done to it and it was the right color and had the right wheels, in addition to the camber kit, coilovers, flares (hey i like em!) as well as the super sweet custom louver job on the hood as cowl!

Next step will the rustproofing (there is some bubbling under the rockers but nothing big) and cleaning!

I've come prepared!
