Terrafox Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 Are those Lotus Elite Wheels? Did you need to do any modifications, or is the bolt pattern the same? They look great! (I like the Lotus Elite a lot - it looks like a futuristic Gremlin.) No Lotus Eclat 1974-1982 so same era.. The fit really well, same pattern Quote
datzenmike Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 yeah its cool that is actually the original wheels as can be seen here in this brochure scan . I think they were an option on the first gen 200sx? maybe the B-20 GX? I'll take a look. 1 Quote
B210GX Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 . I think they were an option on the first gen 200sx? maybe the B-20 GX? I'll take a look. I picked up a set off a B310 a while back, traded them off for a NOS GX head Quote
datsunfreak Posted December 31, 2013 Report Posted December 31, 2013 traded them off for a NOS GX head That's a good trade. :o Quote
B210GX Posted January 1, 2014 Report Posted January 1, 2014 That's a good trade. :o bougth the tires and wheels for $50 with lugs n caps. sold the head to an Aussie feller(<--idk where that came from) $400 plus the ride a couple years ago Quote

B210GX Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 Black factory? No there were no factory black ones. my car had been painted about 4 times all different colors. Originally it was Rootbeer brown metallic. I took it down to bare metal replaced rusted out rockers and such. Quote
Mikeystoy Posted January 4, 2014 Report Posted January 4, 2014 That's what I was thinking; I've never seen a factory black one Quote
Lonestar Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Ok, so things happen in RL. I no longer have the SR but I have not giving up on my plans for a swap into my 210. I'm going to focus on getting the suspension and rear drive axle set up first before I work on the motor. When the time comes for another motor, I'm going to try and stay open for a CA18 but may just wind with another SR. I'm going to drive her so I can enjoy my car before I tear her to pieces and lose heart but hey, I'm still getting goodies for her...here's a tease of something I got in the mail today. Hehehe. :D 2 Quote
Lonestar Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 So.... Ya mad bro's? XD I keed keed, but really...I never thought I'd find this grill...so freaking stoked right now. Needs a little work but it shall look awesome when I'm done. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go clean up, because I just... 3 Quote
vex210 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Nice score, looks good even with out bumper...:) Quote
Lonestar Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 Nice score, looks good even with out bumper... :) Yeah I know right. I'm not sure what it is about it but it looks so much better now that I got the old US grill off of it. Now I just need to plan my zone of attack on how to restore it, would using a softer/gentler blast media work and then painting it? Also, anyone have any tips for polishing fog light glass? Quote
Kirden Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 That looks pretty sweet. Grats on the grille :thumbup: Now someone find me this grille for mine :P Quote
Ardee Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 I got to admit this pic manages to hide the rust on the roof, the giant dent on the back opposite fender and many other flaws, but I'm loving how sunset magic hour set my 1976 shining! 2 Quote
Datsunocaster Posted January 17, 2014 Report Posted January 17, 2014 Looking good. No sun or sunset can make mine loof that good but It will one day... Quote
sunny310 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 @lonestar....sweet man...did u get the rear bumper too? Quote
Lonestar Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 @lonestar....sweet man...did u get the rear bumper too? Nope, that is the only one I'm missing! I may wind up doing a split bumper from a 70's camro. Quote
Dguy210 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 That looks pretty sweet.

Sierra Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 There is a guy on the ratsun facebook page called Retro Autoparts that has the grille for sale. He is in Thailand. I have purchase stuff from him before. Quote
