Tristin

Then I will be there on the 18th. And thanks... I think I might still be in shock, but Im really excited for the car. I appreciate your compliments on it.

Awesome. Ill order them and hopefully they are not as hard as some of the other makes. I heard a few aftermarkets were too hard for the doors to close. Ill report on my findings... Where did you find the window seals/channel felt? Im going to try to make it... I dont have any plans then so as of right now, Ill be there with the car. I know it was brought up in the thread, but is it the 11th or 18th. The 11th is the second Saturday of February. Thanks for the tips on the stalling guys, Ill look at some manuals and see if I can fix it. I dont quite know my way around a Datsun engine, but I guess I have to learn sometime.

So I went out for a mini-cruise and I picked up lunch. I added to add a few things to the list that need to be taken care of. I have three things right now that need to be take care of close to immediately: Stalls with acceleration Loose ignition Weather seals The previous owner said that he rebuilt the carb and I trust his skills, but he still could figure out what the issue was. Basically from full stops, the car gets close to stalling with normal use of the accelerator. It seems that normal speed causes it to stall out... so once I notice its about to stall, I just release the pedal, and try again. Ive gotten used to it, but Id like for it to always work lol. Plus I know if my girlfriend ever has to drive it, she wont get it. I still have the original seatbelts and once to car stalls I have to turn it back on which means I have to undo my belt since it doesnt stretch like todays belts. Then, since my ignition is loose I have to hold the body with one hand and then with the other hand turn the key. Its a wicked pain in the ass. Any ideas on the stalling? Also, anybody use vintagerubber.com weather seals? Its a decent price for an OEM fit instead of scavenging seals from other cars. For anyone that has, will the wagon seals work for the sedan? Im assuming the doors are the same size.

Im always a fan of pictures. Everything I do I plan on documenting... And no I dont plan on blacking them out. All colors will stay orginal... even the creme and brown interior.

Yeah, the sun roof kind of threw me off... Im still undecided, but I figure with a little clean up I can live with it. Im not sure when you talked to him, but the seats could have been in better condition when you talked to him. He said he just recently removed the rear cover to get them redone but then got too busy. Oh well. Either way Im going to make the best of it... I love her! Thanks for more pictures!

Man, I didnt know there were meets going on regularly. I guess it didnt matter since I just now picked up a Dat. I should be coming to this one... Ill put it on the calendar.

This might be something to check out... I have a few friends that would be down for $1 PBRs.

Well if youre still interested I can pass on a message... We should meet up sometime. Yeah, Im not looking to tear her apart, but I may actually keep it auto. Im thinking of moving to Seattle and the 45-50* hills are not fun with a manual. Plus, since its already auto Id like it to stay that way... we shall see though. Im not sure if I can swap in an SR and keep the column shifter.

Yeah it was... It was actually on about 7 months ago as well. I emailed the guy asking about it and we both gor really busy so nothing went through. I almost bought a TE27 Corolla, but it was sold out from underneath me and I gave up on car hunting. I randomly was on Portlands CL and saw he reposted this 510 again. I messaged him again and within a couple days I drove down and picked it up. Hes an awesome guy... he owns 7 4drs. I think 5 2drs, and a wagon. He mentioned some of them were for sale because he has 18 cars total, but I loved this green and had to have it.

My name is Tristin and although Im not new to building cars, I am new to Datsuns I joined this forum months ago in the hopes of buying a B210 sedan I saw listed on here, but unfortunately I wasnt able to purchase it. Ive liked Datsuns for awhile and finally was able to pick one up in good condition for a great price. Its in awesome condition for its age, though its not perfect. There is a bit of surface rust in some areas and the paint if faded in most places, but there is no rot. Rockers are 100% complete, no floorboard holes, no trunk rust. For her age, shes great. I have some plans for her in the future, but the first things that are going to get take care of with be maintenance related and some of the more important aspects. Current Issues: No weather sealing on doors Heater is crap (I live in Washington... its a must) Stalls on hard accelerating from a stop Dash lights are half blown Ignition is loose (twists when you want to start the car) Front seats are shredded Rear seat cover needs replaced (foam and springs are perfect) Carpet is wicked dirty Stereo is non-op Future Plans: Coilovers Rims Wilwood BBK SR Swap (not sure which version yet) Aussie rear Venetian blind Aussie sun visor JDM fender mirrors Center console MKI duckbill Im not going to get crazy with it, but I would like to update the vehicle to current times. Once I get cracking on the maintenance it should be a great DD as Im going to use it when I go back to school in the Summer. Im going to try to keep everything original looking if possible and only change things if I must. Im going to try to keep the original paint color, interior colors, no garish front bumper colors, no ridiculous fender flares. Clean and simple is the way I like it. Anyway, here are the pictures as it currently sits. I just returned from a 3hr drive to pick her up. Enjoy and stay tuned!
