DatB210 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I got a 1975 B210 this January. I's my first project car. It runs and it isn't in that bad of a condition. (few small dents) The engine is stock but dirty... I took it home some time early January It's alive! First Thing, I got front the seats out. Then back seats... More stripping... Cleaned up a bit... Bit of rust in the back... Got dash off... (couldn't get cap off) Then I got hood and grill off. (also chrome strips but didn't get pics) Got hatch and tail lights off. ( Started getting some of the bumps out... Got the bumpers off and Started adding some filler... Sanded parts and but the hood and hatch back... Not bad so far... I'll keep you guys updated. 4 Quote Link to comment

DatB210 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I took my old seats to get upholstered earlier this week. Didn't remember to get a pic of the front seats though. I got them back today. They're fairly decent., 1 Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 cool, not many people reupholster here, usually we just toss them out when we find nicer ones :P Quote Link to comment
DatB210 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I've noticed, but I wanted to keep that classic look. Maybe I'll eventually shove in some nice bucket seats in it. Quote Link to comment
graveltrapp Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Looks great and very ambitious. It's nice seeing the stock seats getting some new life. Going to paint it green again. Hope so. Quote Link to comment
DatB210 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Yea I'm gonna go with the same green paint. Quote Link to comment
Dguy210 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yea I'm gonna go with the same green paint. You'd have to check the paint code but that looks like the "metallic dark green" #211. I can't remember where but I've also seen it called something like "Sherwood forest green". I really like that color on the B210's, but I'm a bit biased :lol: Quote Link to comment
Sierra Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Great job! keep the pics coming. Quote Link to comment
DatB210 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I haven't posted in a while, but I haven't done much. So here's a bunch or random pics of what Iv'e done and other stuff.Got it ready for primer. Here's this... And bad news on trying to figure out the stock paint color... Yesterday, we got a couple layers of primer on. Then filled in the some minor defects and added a few more layers of primer. Not the best work, but ehh. It's a ratsun. More pics soon. 1 Quote Link to comment
Timber Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Nice Job. It good to see other B210s coming back. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment
Dguy210 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Whatever happened with this? He did get it painted for $500 as his Dad's friend has a shop. Why the edit though? For everybody's information this person (Erik Ontiveros Hood River OR) is a deadbeat payer. I sent him a radio delete plate and something extra for $20 shipped. I never got paid, I did get a lot of excuses. The best was that his internet was shutoff...which he sent by PM. It is always interesting what can be dug up online...names, relatives names, phone numbers. I believe a letter to his parent's describing the dishonest behavior of their son might have the desired reaction. I'll just bump this thread later...
