They have a couple RX-3s that they run into the ground.
Excuse my ignorance, but is it any different then a 510?

Yes what he said.
the RX-3 was a rotary Mazda built between 1971 -1978
the Datsun 510 was sold between 1968 - and 198?, but the goo years are the PL510s which were built between 1968-1973.

Where are you located?? I used to race a 510 and have some extra body parts still in storage...I think I have some good doors, etc. Also have a 240Z race car so I have Nissan race parts as well if you might need something...
 
I'm in belton MO. don't really need any stock body parts though. Looking at going f/g to get the weight down more. thanks for the offer though.
 
man awesome project.. i was thinking of getting one for my next venture after the "nightmare" is finished (see my other car pics thread for info). I know where one is with fiberglass body parts.. orange but man.. i really don't wanna deal with another project "nightmare" and anything pre-1980 in Canada sometimes neeeds more metal then a whole new car lol.

thanks guys.

Ya I can understand about Canada and the rust. There are a lot of guys on the Dime boards that have a s*** ton of rust. Hopefully I'll have some updates at the end of the year. I need to work on the brakes and struts and get them ready for the car in the spring time.
 
thanks guys. Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

as for the color not sure yet. Kinda leaning towards a modified bre paint job, with dark grey on the bottom and black on the top with black konig rewinds.
