Re: Datsun 510 Roadster or Datsun Roadster 510?
Love it with the top down. Not so much with the top up. I think the roll bar would be better black so it doesn't stick out so much.
My junk pile:
71 Jeep Gladiator. Restored w/#s matching engine. My WeeBeasty
70 1600 legit 2nd owner. Stroked and bored
Several salvaged w access to a barn full of parts, part cars & whole cars
......What's in the barn is for sale. What do you need?

Yep, agree on all that. this is a unibody car, so like the Z's, when you chop of the top of the box you have to add a serious c-channel under the doors, else they don't fit for long.
that top looks to be Jeep or Bronco, shortened a bit.

The problem with the top is that it is too square in the back. If it were slanted like like the original top, it would look worlds better.
