"Fun to drive, and I love the looks I get"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Replaced head and gasket.

New radiator.

New thermostat.

General comments?

With an automatic trans, it kills the fun of it being a Datsun.

Loud is good.

Electricals has their problems.

And the solid rear axle (in the wagon) vs. IRS, kills the fun of it being a 510...

I owned 3 510's over the years. One of each body style. My favourite was 'Sherman', a green (Datsun green 939) 1971 wagon, which I bought with 87,000 miles, and reluctantly sold with 151,000 miles.

With a 4-speed and basic interior, I moved 2000 miles in it with half my furniture, baby equipment and a 2 month old behind my wife. All the while getting far better fuel economy than I deserved...
