69 510 Ground Up Rebuild

Post by acustx »

Well I have finally got my crap together and am going to post my build so far. I have always dreamed of building my own 1600 since I first saw one when I was in High school. :shock: This was the car that became my inspiration.


Image

I waited longer than I should have before finally deciding to start looking for my 510. :oops:

I found my project on trade me in Napier, and brought it straight away.

Image

Isnt she sexy! :P

I drove down to napier and picked her up. When we got home she was put in the shed, and the project begun :twisted:

I slowly stripped her down, always knowing what the plans were.
Starting with the bonnet, grill and lights etc.

Image


Then working away until finally removing the old but still running L16. :wink:

Image

Image

I slowly worked away removing bits and pieces, labeling everything so I knew where it came from and where it will eventually go back.

After removing the engine and trans I started to remove everything else from the engine bay(including the battery tray). I pulled all the wiring out and traced it back to the fire wall where the loom was removed. I have also removed all the brake lines and am still trying to figure out how I am going to hide them from view, and still conform to the LVV Cert.

Image

I then continued on by removing the guards (snapping a couple of bolts in the process :roll: :oops: ) I have yet to fix them. :oops:
Image

Image

I was doing all of this while waiting for my parts to arrive from Datsport Oz.

Image

Then after removing the engine crossmember and suspension, my olds sold the farm so I was going to have to put something back in it so I could move it.

I kept disasembling the interior though, for something to do while waiting for the move.

Why that one in particular??

Don't get me wrong SQWRT is a very well presented and finished car and I have checked it out in person and chatted with Kerry about his ride. :poke:
