Cleopatra Jones Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Could always see if an upholstery shop could cover it in some thin leather/vinyl? Some of the high end European cars, and a few upscale GM products, have done this for ages. Might class it up a bit. B) Something like this: I've thought about that. There's a company out here called Just Dashes and I think they can do it. When I called over there to see what they do and how much they were telling me about all the other stuff they're branching out into. It's an option and I may have to if I can't get that stupid new knob to work. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I've thought about that. It's an option and I may have to if I can't get that stupid new knob to work. It would be very unique. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 It would be very unique. :thumbup: Yup, I will make that happen. This resto has been several months in the making and I'm not half assing it at this point. Come too far. EDIT: Although I have not had the car painted on the inside because I'm afraid of people taking him apart and mangling him. My 1/4 window latch and dome light suffered when I had the upholstery done. Dome was easy enough to get but the latches not so much. Was lucky ggzilla had a set. So the paint will look crusty on the inside but I'm ok with that. Quote Link to comment
Lonestar Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Looking good Box, your car is cleaning up very nice! I got some center consoles from John (DastunFreak) a while back, I need to get off my butt and start making some fiberglass repo's of them. tile then, I'll just leave this here. Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted December 26, 2012 Report Share Posted December 26, 2012 Thanks Lonestar! Just waiting on the felt run for the window track to come in from Thailand and that's the last piece I'm waiting on. Need to get the stupid knob to work and finish sanding the rearview. Now I'm thinking about getting the inner door seal off ebay. Your car looks great! I like how it's painted. How difficult is it to make repos? Often think I should do that with all those plastic pieces. Quote Link to comment

king bee66 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 the tailpipe look kills it for me Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 but it looks just like your tail pipe :confused: Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 the tailpipe look kills it for me I wouldn't do it, but I kinda like how except for the wheels and the ride height it's bone stock. :thumbup: And I was hoping to inspire colourbox. B) Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 it looks rad, its just a bad angle with the tailpipe showing. otherwise the ride height and slightly stretched wheels is just what i want for my car btw zilla, my cars been open tailpipeless for awhile now...

Cleopatra Jones Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Nice! Is that a wooden steering wheel? I've been eyeballing one on ebay for a while. I really like it but at the same time I want to keep my car stock...but then I really like it :) Quote Link to comment

Still OEM but sportier. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 My trouble is finding parts that are brown. Everything I find for the interior is blue or black. I have to keep painting everything. Now I'm just keeping some of the black pieces black and using them as accent marks in the car like my door latch covers and the seatbelt bolt covers. But a wooden steering wheel.... :wub: Ha! Hell I've had the car 24 years and I'm never going to sell. I may change my mind. Perhaps when the plastic finally disintegrates and blows away in the wind.

datsunfreak Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 It has already started happening to the B110 steering wheels. Down here where it's a bit drier, the 510 and 1200 wheels started disintegrating 10 years ago... :rofl: Heck, I saved the wheel from my B210 simply because it's the first one I've ever seen that wasn't falling apart...

Yeap I know I had the factory one and it was in mint condition, I put it up on ebay and it didnt lasted a day or two jejeje, and since I needed the spacer for the nardi wheel, I said to my self what hell is gonna occupy space around so I let it go for good.

datsunfreak Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 The 200SX coupes had a tan wheel that looks like a B210GX wheel that might fit? B) 1 Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Luckily my steering wheel is in pretty good shape. It's a teeny bit crusty around the horn button but it's not horrible. I've replaced all the broken and crusty plastic pieces in the car except the shift knob. Working on that. If I had to get another steering wheel it would be the wooden one. Quote Link to comment
KiroTech Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 b210 and 1200 steering wheels wont fit b310 because the steering wheel shaft on b210 and b110 is thinner than the b310. Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 200SX is same spline as B310. This 200SX wheel is awesome datsunfreak posted ------------ I just sold a B210 wheel that is the same style, only black Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 This 200SX wheel is awesome------------ I just sold a B210 wheel that is the same style, only black It is awesome! Loved the one in my B210. As far as I've seen, the B210 version only came in black. I've seen the 200SX version in black, blue, and tan. Which means you could find one to suit all the B310 interior colors. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
