Cleopatra Jones Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Where do I order!? I had these done as a favor basically from a friend who's a fabricator on the large scale (which is why it took 3 months to get them). He was having some projects chromed and threw these in so it didn't cost me anything. If any of you want to have some printed do a search in your neck of the woods for "3D printer service" and tell them you have a Maya .stl file. I'll be more than happy to send any of you the file I created to have printed. I paid $30 per print so you have an idea of what it cost. Just know that after it's printed on the 3D printer there's a bit of prep work involved to get it ready for painting. It doesn't come out smooth so you'll have to spend some time sanding it down. Once you're done painting it or whatever you're going to do with it just hit it with a hair dryer so it's a bit flexible to form to the curve of the 1/4 panel. If none of you have ever heard or seen 3D plastic printing check out this video. If you want the file hit me up with your email addy and I'll send it to you. If I figure out a place to put it for download I'll provide a link. If I decide some day to relearn how to cast from molds I'll make a bunch of these but for now I can offer up the file to have printed from. http://cnn.com/video...-3d-printer.cnn Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Those look great! Thanks! I just posted if anyone wants the file to have some printed let me know and I'll send it to you. FOR FREE! :D 1 Quote Link to comment

king bee66 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 its a nice looking 210, but is anyone else bothered by the location of that single fender mirror? Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 too pricey for any real b210 owner but still pretty neat OEM dash pad http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-FACTORY-DATSUN-B210-DASH-TOP-/280969398788?hash=item416b14ca04&item=280969398788&pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment

mrmark Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 its a nice looking 210, but is anyone else bothered by the location of that single fender mirror? Waaayy too close to the windshield. I'm just about to drill my fenders for my mirrors and i have them marked in front of the wheel well arch. Quote Link to comment
Duke_CityR Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 what part of portland? I am not too familiar with Portland, I was just down there with my wife visiting her little sister. BUT, what I do know is that we were only a couple blocks away from the VooDoo Donuts store on NE davis st. We were walking there and I almost fainted when I saw it. My wife and her sister couldn't figure out what I was so excited about :) Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 apparently our 210 wagons were called "sunny californias" in japan. mildly interesting... 3 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 apparently our 210 wagons were called "sunny californias" in japan. mildly interesting... Indeed! Most of theirs were "vans" not "wagons". I love the vans, the Japanese dudes love the wagons (always want what you didn't get :wub: ). Japanese van: Note the more upright rear glass and slim vertical tail lights compared to what we got (also called a "sportroof" wagon in Japan). Quote Link to comment
mrmark Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Finally got around to installing my mirrors, i think i did good with the placement. They align nicely with zero blind spots but i'm not sure about the type of mirror I installed. They seem a little tall for such a little car. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 A tad tall, but so were the OEM Japanese mirrors. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 i like the look of the vans more too Quote Link to comment
hcallaway Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Posted under Project Datto by mistake. Story and Pictures of my 1980 210 or 150Y? or B310 or Sunny? For an East Coast - Southern Car it is super clean. 80K two owner, original paint, never even had the bumpers tweaked, spare has never been out! http://community.ratsun.net/topic/46815-1980-datsun-210-310-120y-sunny-pretty-solid-survior/ Quote Link to comment
hcallaway Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Interior was great with the exception of the seats. Cloth did not survive the sun. Went with Marine Grade Vinyl so they will hold up long term. Shelby American Alloy Slots off Craigslist, I just started trying to detail them. Quote Link to comment
AZ_L320 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I don't have a 210 anymore, but I thought I would share a couple pictures of the 1st new car my wife and I bought together. It was a 1982 210. We didn't have much money then and even living in Arizona, we couldn't afford the A/C, so instead I tinted the windows pretty dark. I think the purchase price new was $4495. :thumbup: Anyway, here are a couple pictures I scanned! Quote Link to comment
