why not....better than wearing out inside tyre

all show'n'plenty of go!!.....great last name there fitzy

ditto D,

this is fantastic & very creative...i think sum people are very jealous!!

nah just purists

some of us actually like the classic look

and clearly fitzy didn't, good on him for not going fr simmons, original paint and working the stock motor. for a 21 year old i reckon its top dollar, spesh the engine bay. hell i'm only 21 and i couldn't imagine having such a car at that age. good on him for thinking outside the box, althought yeah i wouldn't have bothered shaving the rear door handles. haha

I see teenies (not all) happy with a yellow painted dash and
windscreen wipers pat each other on the back. No where near
that bad here there is plenty to admire just a few things spoil it.
Its not a matter of complete purism in this case its just that for some,
this car is slightly tacky and it has quickly dated to the point
where a 2 door 90s sylvia would a better candidate.
No jealously just some have a passion for industrial design,
engineering and finished art that separates the wanabees for the happy to be.
I used to almost chuck at seeing some of these American hotrod
shows modernizing cars that were once beautifully balanced.

Attention to detail is great but
the black modern windscreens/windows,
lack of chrome on the sides
shaved rear doors
boot full of confused items and lines
seats for Gary Glitters abused buttocks
overdone orange running gear(underneath)

yet great top notch clean engine bay just
missing datsun on rocker cover or something
more personal to the artist/owner.

an example of a normal 510 coupe that eats an overmodded one

opinon yes i respect that...but the engineering that went into this you must admire the attention to detail i give top makes, yes step out side the box, these things you do to get into street machines mag....


mmmmm nice 2door

Street machine mag has had about 20 great builds in 10 years.
The rest fall in the same overdone try to hard to be modern catg.
A car designed with chrome rarely pulls it off without it before
it grows old quickly.

The dogs breakfast in the boot is very sad and there are alot of
areas where this is definitely not the best 510 in the world.
