CharlieBucket Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 so you guys most likely know my 77 b210 by now. do any 79 parts fit on my car? there is one for really cheap near me, and i am wondering if the body parts match. they might not be usable anyway, but that would second.if i ever needed a fender or something i would likely have to pay big bucks for shipping to get to GA, so i thought i might part this car out for myself and store the parts. here's the ad http://atlanta.craigslist.org/pts/677715558.html Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Charlie. Your Datsun is a B210. The car for sale is a 210. The cars share the engine, not sure which A series the 210 has ( the 210s varied from A12s to A15s.) The rear suspension is different,and the front suspension...not sure if it is the same. Body parts ( fenders, etc ) do not match. The ignition and other electronic should be same. If you plan on rebuilding an A series,you could use that engine and rebuild it w/o having to put your B210 off the roads. Perhaps the 210 has a 5 speed. That would be a plus. If you have the place to deal with the 210, you could sell the tail lights, fenders, and other parts on e bay and get some bucks back. Parts for all these Datsun cars are getting scarse, so definitely you would get money for parts. I would ask about what engine the vehicle has, and the transmission. An A14 or A15 would be great. 5 speed, that would be excellent. If it is close by, check it out in person. Jaime.________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I just re read the ad, no engine or gear box:( All the B210 wise usable parts are gone ( engine, transmission.) :( Jaime._________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 B210: 1974-1978 badged "B-210" B310: 1979-1982 badged "210" The B310 front struts are better, have larger brakes than a B210. Also there are tons of little parts you can use. There are higher ratio differentials too. http://wiki.datsun1200.com/index.php/B310_Parts_Donor Quote Link to comment
