I did uninsured/underinsured and comprehensive since we have some theft around here, but no collison. The comp was only $50 for 6 months, but the policy was 300 so $350 for 6 months. My 2010 xb has full coverage and my mom's jeep is on the policy and it totals 550 for six months... Her car costs more than my car and it's only liability and comp/unins/underins. I'll probably swap all of my cars back to progressive after my nationwide policy runs out, but we'll see.

Yep, sadly it was indeed a 4 speed, but once I saw it in person and got all of the backstory I had to have it.

Could have routed it a little above the trunk lid then attached an antenna looking thing to it and pulled off the RC car look :P Honestly though, awesome job.

Caught all kinds of hell trying to register it today. "Oh, you need to get a police officer to fill this form out" go home and wait on the 5-0... "All good, lets get this transferred, insurance binder please?" "Um... it's non-op, I just need it registered" "Sorry, no go without insurance since you don't have a title. Bring in a binder and we'll finish this up" "Oh, Nationwide can't insure something that old, let me transfer you to hagerty" "Oh, Hagerty needs to see the car in a garage or car port with atleast 3 sides" "Oh sure, Progressive can do it, but you won't get shit if you wreck it." *Pay progressive more than you pay for your 2010 car with full coverage...* "Oh sorry, the tag office closed early today for personal reasons. Please come back tomorrow..." Fuckers...

So, as promised: Hitch helped me identify this pump that I had never seen. The green car doesn't have one: Looking over everything and weighing the options carefully, I think I'm just gonna try to get it running as is. The engine turns smooth, the radiator isn't dry, the oil isn't runny, and there are very few rust spots other than the front of the hood. Getting it running stock seems like the best choice for now. I'll be replacing all of the hoses and pulling the rocker cover to see how much build-up is on the valves and rockers, but hopefully with new filters, fluids including trans and diff, and cleaning the fuel tank we can get it running. Also planning to replace all of the brake components (pads, hoses, cylinders, ect) and the clutch/flywheel (pretty sure it's gonna be stuck after 11 years of sitting). It might take a while, somewhat got raped by the plumber over the holidays... $544 for two leaks, so still building up funds. Luckily tax time is right around the corner.

In case anyone missed it, this new toy was somewhat of a barn find. The previous owner passed away around 2003 so the heirs took over her property. No one every went to check on the place so pipes burst, limbs caused damage to the house, and no one knew what was really there. A few months back someone made an offer on the property, so one of the heirs husbands went to check it all out. He had thought that the vehicle had been sold or crushed long ago, but there is was, sitting under the car port, covered in about 12 years of dirt and moss. I will be going through a lot of the paperwork over this week and posting up some neat things that came with the car, but here is a link to the original post and the lovely moss and vines (the vines really liked those hubcaps... :P ) http://community.ratsun.net/topic/64987-barn-find-b210/

For some reason, it just occured to me that I should post this here as well. Picked it up yesterday. Even got the original tag and hub caps!

Yea man, hopefully I can get it on the road before losing steam like I did on the 4 door.

boo :( Oh well, thanks for the heads up on RF devices though, I'll see about using one for my B.

That would be awesome. Please keep me updated on the setup. The AUX modification is nice and all, but a good unit would be awesome if it can be hidden and retain the full stock look.

I would be interested in that. Mount it under the passenger seat so that the dash stays intact. Sounds like a really nice unit.

I've been looking for a way to set up my new project's radio, but I don't want to mess up the stock interior. Will probably just do the AUX input modification to the AM radio so it all looks stock.

Will do tomorrow. It's dark now so no good pics atm. It's an A14 with dealer option AC. Edit: That actually makes this my second B210 with AC :thumbup:

I was his friend once... I feel for you

The first Datsun I ever owned was my 74 620, got it a few years ago. A typical hack job done by the PO lead to lots of carb work, lowered it a bit, and drove it around all ratty. Ended up getting down on my luck on it's last breakdown and sold it for $100. Still kicking myself for that one. Now it had been wrecked, and most likely scrapped by the new owner.

So... Real?

Hey Dfreak, I have a new toy... Just wanted to stop by and let you know that you talked me into buying a coupe (not a 1200 though :P ). Love all the work you guys do, and sure I'll have a ton of questions for you on this one.

Grabbed some goodies for the B today, check it: Neat huh? Ok, a slight joke... The real reason for the post is I have a new toy. Still need to wash it: Neat tools? Almost perfect dash All of the rear interior Amazing interior

Not sure about uderkevin, but I can't wait for that day. Hope there is a datsun involved as well :P

Wow, such a hack job on such a nice car. Good work cleaning up the POs mess. I busted out laughing at that "custom" headlight switch :P

Feel like I'm necroing here, but this is a great project. I've been looking at going CA in my 4 door, especially now that I'm picking up a coupe, but I was wondering how the shifter location worked out for you? I know it moves the shifter back about 4 inches, but is it still comfortable with the stock seat location? That is honestly the one part I couldn't figure out about this swap. The picture you posted seems like it would be almost optimal since I sit with the seat as far back as possible anyway, but I am trying to figure out how much farther back the shift knob sits. It looks like the shifter is straighter than the stock setup, so the reach is similar? Kinda hard to tell by pictures really.

Psh, 5 gears is doing it wrong.

Hey hitch! Want to help me move a B210 from Woodstock Monday? :P
