78B210GTX Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 I bought a 77 B210 a few weeks ago for $600. Had a four speed, now a five speed. Barely any dents in the panels, and no holes in the floor boards. Interior work is first, floorboards need rust treatment and headliner needs paint. Quote Link to comment

Pumpkn210 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 That thing is slick mang! Now come and get your 4sp out of the shop! :P Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Nice buy. Watch the company it keeps though... There isn't much difference between a 77 and a 78, the only exterior difference is the grille color (78 is black, 76-76 is dark gray). But the 79 is a whole different car, longer, wider and lighter.

78B210GTX Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 A whole lot of plans for this car. I have a weber carb that im probably going to slap on it, for the mean time, while I fab up a two or four small-carb set up. Intake and exhaust are a must too, this car is so quiet as is i can hardly hear it running, pedestrians dont even hear me!?! Anyways going to lower it and put a four link set up from a 79 datsun coupe in the rear, and for the front im going to either raise the shock towers and or look into some springs that i can get out of some other car. I have a gallon of mixed blue paint that i got while working at the body shop so its a definte 1 of a kind color, and probably going to get some chameleon pearl to add to the clear coat finish.

ggzilla Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 keep away from that guy in the Mustang hat. He'll be encouraging you to put a 5-liter in the B210. Like this: Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Yea, and that guy in the Orange is a Total Wack Job! You see his Mullett? Quote Link to comment
jeffball610 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Please tell me you plan to get rid of the bumpers. Why do all American bumpers from this time period look like brick walls? Quote Link to comment

ggzilla Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 No particular work -- it just fits (unlike a chevy v8). But just say 'no' to the whole idea... Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 That looks like it was meant for that. dude did some great work there. I'll second that :D Quote Link to comment
sinner720st Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 wow that is one nice 600 dolla find... definately lower it, ditch the rear bumper and perhaps an L motor would be cool... on second thought just ditch all bumpers (thats how i roll) nice whip though man, looks clean and serious cancer free Quote Link to comment
78B210GTX Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 bumpers are coming off soon. look at my 78 hatchback build, the front bumper on that is going to go on this, and the rear is almost panned as is under the bumper.( the cops are big sticklers around here and im tired of getting harrasse!; so im waiting to do it all at once on a nice weekend. im keeping the A series engine. Many engine mods await! Quote Link to comment

78B210GTX Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Got some more work done. Cd player installed as well as an amp and subs. Took out the rear seats. Used a suv folding cover to cover the subs. got some mirrors off of a toyota forklift! they need the mirrors tho. going to get them today. Used the old seats for a swing. Read more about it in the doobley doo. (General Discussion:What to do with those old datsun seats) Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 damn, make sure all your nuts and bolts are nice and tight, otherwise them subs are going to shake that datsun to a pile of parts :lol: looking good/ nice use of the suv cover. you should get some moc pics of them fender mirrors. i really want to see how they are going to look Quote Link to comment
78B210GTX Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 got some mirrors from Trust Salvage Junk Yard. After hacksaw and some tin snips, I got the right fit for the chekered mirrors. Fitted, but needs glued in... Quote Link to comment
78B210GTX Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Moch setup, probably going to put them up front. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment
