Datsun B210 75

[az_rat210]

I thought I would share where I am at on my Datsun B210, and yes, I need rims.

The paint job got scratched up during assembly and needs redone, not to mention it had not been fully buffed out smooth.

And I really need to obtain Euro/Aussie style bumpers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plans:

Obtain better bumpers.

Mag Rims

Weber DGEV 32/36

5 Speed Transmission

Finish the Interior - I need to make a Center Piece for a Stereo. Get different front seats.

Eventually switch out to 280Z Struts

Take it back to the body shop and have him redo the paint job, better this time by removing all the old paint and polishing it out.

 

But hey, its now a daily driver and gets me to where I need to be to make the money to continue working on it [until the 4 speed dies]:D

Nissan South Africa fitted 510 bumpers to the front of Datsun B110 back in the day. It would probably work for B210 also, they are the same width.

 

But you'll need to fabricate a new apron panel, because the US B210 has nothing behind the parkbench bumper.

Hi Bonvo, I am not sure of the paint code. The guy I had do the body work could not remember the paint can was covered in paint so it was not visible.

 

I can tell you that it is a Diamat Paint, with Pearl in the Clear Coat. The pearl is not noticeable until the sun hits it.

 

Thanks for information on bumpers guys. Going to take down some notes on it.
