[JDOM310]

bought distributor pickup coild for like $5 gonna try doing that but i dont know last time the dis was replaced. i have a 1980 210 SL

[JDOM310]

if all else fails ill replace the entire piece would be like 100 on that rockauto site

[flatcat19]

So. Want. Sedan. 

[JDOM310]

took me a about a year to buy it kept losing track of guy that had it ... wanted either a 210 or 1200 for smog reasons but ended up with 210 so smog was a pain specially in CA

[flatcat19]

I have the hatch-and I do like the car-Just have always wanted a 2dr. sedan. 

[JDOM310]

i like the other too needed the space in the hatch though

[datsunfreak]

what year is that gold 210 man its sweet 

 

Most likely a '79. 

 

 

been trying to find those flares stateside for a while

 

I don't think you ever will. I bought a set from a shop in Japan, then sold them to vex (as you saw previously), and I'd bet money that's the only set in the US right now. 

 

They weren't super expensive if you want to go through the hassle of importing them?

[JDOM310]

oh thats right yeah i remember you sold them for like a few hundrd theres a few pics of a guy with a 210 in japan shows how he welded the flares out and those look soo clean i think he had a silver hatchback  shows step by step on the work really cool stuff. need to win lotto man

[flatcat19]

^ No. Need to post some pics, man.

Not the only set in the U.S.!  Installing my flares now, found them in Ratsun Classified, along with datsunfreak's fiberglass bumpers!

I've been finding tachs a lot lately but only the square eye. Yours is a round eye 210 right? If I ever see one I'll grab it. I generally pull tachs anyway cause I know people that don't have them want them.

Thanks Colourbox! The square eye is the only anyone can find and yes, mine is the round eye.

[Cleopatra Jones]

No problem! There's been a rash of square eye 210s in the boneyards here lately. Haven't seen too many round eyes. I'll keep a look out tho. I'm always out there molesting them for parts :)

Keep an eye up for a black square-eyed dash in good/decent shape. 

Thnx. 

[Cleopatra Jones]

I always pull that stuff too. The dash, stereo cluster, steering column cover, glovebox and any other plastic bits and pieces that are in good condition I'll pull. Someone's always looking for that stuff too. I've only come across one dash pad that was clean and it was blue. Car must've been garaged cause it was pretty clean. I took the entire dash assembly and sold it all on ebay. No takers from here.

 

Are you only wanting it if it's black? You may want to consider any color and paint if necessary. My entire dash was blue. Painted it brown. Brown is hard to find :(

[Cleopatra Jones]

This whole dash assembly except for the undertrim was blue.

[flatcat19]

That turned out really good. 

 

How did you prep/paint it?

[Cleopatra Jones]

I got a friend to do it. I was still a newbie at the painting process and I didn't want to f* it up. The undertrim part with the vents I found NOS. It was black. I washed that down with dish soap and then primered and painted it.

[Cleopatra Jones]

Oh and I took one of my original plastic pieces and had them color match the paint to it. They did a great job at matching. When I ran out of the paint I found another guy closer to where I live and he matched the paint really well too. Pretty impressed. I keep meaning to get more from him.

[Lonestar]

Painting those parts are not as hard as one thinks. You need the right paint/dye for the plastic, a good adhesion promoter and make sure the part is clean...as...f%^k! Most people use a soft to med scrub brush and something that will strip oils and dirt from the part. This of course is for DIY like me, did the trim in both my XB's and most people thought it came factory like that.

[Cleopatra Jones]

Oh trust me. I would've fucked that all to hell if I had done it. When I did the undertrim I got a little bit of bubbling but luckily it's where you can't see it. Getting around the corners wasn't too easy either. I got more painting practice when I made my quarter panel emblems. I messed up a few before I got the hang of it. I'm getting better. Just finished painting my grille recently. Painting vents ain't easy! I'm getting to be a pro at this paint stuff now :)

[Lonestar]

I hear, I mucked a few pieces myself til I got a feel for the paints I was using. All and all, not so much the paint but the prep, the more time and the better the prep is, the better the paint comes out.
