POSTER: Blooot
VEHICLE: 1972 Datsun 510
GOAL: Bought in 2003, initially intending to build a street/track car, it somehow turned into a tarmac rally car.
DIFFICULTY: The whole project has had its ups and downs, the whole car has been gone through.
COSTS: Out of hand. Probably $15-20k in at this point.
LINKS: It's all in the archives and when they open up I'll fill this in. For the time being I'll link off-site: http://www.the510realm.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2177

Edit: Archives are up, but most of these are lacking pictures.
