Joaquin, thanks for posting my pictures.Someday I will learn how to do it myself.Sid the original color of the was 531 beige grey.I am trying to keep it as original as possible. This car was in very rough shape when purchased but complete.It was parked covered for 15 years.The owner parked it after they put the new timing chains in wrong, bent valves.The good thing is the original # match engine was in storage in a garage.It will be rebuilt in the next few months. I have given this Roadster a new outlook on live after sitting for more than 20 years.This car would have been parted out by some one that dosn't know their value. Most people have never seen a Datsun Roadster .I will foward more pictures as the project comes together. Thanks Arnold

Alvin, that is my 510 beside the Roadster. When you ask, "where is this being done?" What location are you referring to? If you would like to see pictures of my 510 contact me.Arnold

Alvin,I am tring to keep the car as Factory as possible.I have all new seal, emblems,front and rear lights, factory nissan windshield ect. Windsheild frame needs rechromed,and just can't see me painting the inside over new chrome.Still need to purchase dash pad,seat covers,and maybe door panels.
I tryed to match the 531 color beige grey.In the pictures it looks more silver.Arnold

Beige Gray and Silver look completely different in person. Silver is silver. Beige Gray has a sort of bronze cast to it. Here are a couple of examples:

For silver, here is an example:
