jboulukos Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Below are pics of my car and the sought after intact dash pad I found outside of Portland a few years back. It's couped up in a garage on the south side of Chicago. I love this little beast. What do you think of it? I I 3 Quote Link to comment
jboulukos Posted April 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Thanks mrmark. It's decent. It has some rust spots and a decent amount of body filler. The color is Maaco's best match of the original Nissan paint code. Quote Link to comment
dat521gatherer Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Very nice. 1 Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Looks great! Is it a 1977? The 2-door sedan looks the best! The coupe has that 70s hatchback look. 1 Quote Link to comment

ericsb210 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Just a memory jog, I came out to your place years ago in Bremerton and bought a couple of door handle surrounds and a few other parts, You just had your car painted and gave me a look see. I always thought you had a nice ride. Nice to see you here on Ratsun! Ha ha, I remember that dash pad on craigslist, I always wondered who ended up with it. 1 Quote Link to comment
PineClone Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 The bumper-ends look perfect. Gotta get a 5-speed in that thing. 1 Quote Link to comment
jboulukos Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Hey PineClone...one rear bumper end is in bad shape, the rest a pretty solid. Hey EricsB210! how's it going? Yeah, I remember I sold you the AM/FM B210 radio and some other small parts. I found that dash pad in a junkyard southeast of Portland. I pulled it off myself, which was awesome in order to learn how it attaches. It was all white and faded but 4-5 armor alls later and its beautiful. My old one had the classic crack throughout the center speaker holes. 1 Quote Link to comment
Sierra Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I cant believe you found a upper dash in a junkyard that was not crack. Freaking awesome!!! 2 Quote Link to comment
charolastra Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Nice color! Hey where do you live? Im from Chicago too, Midway area, honestly I never seen a b210 in Chicago. I have a 76 4 doors. Ill post some pics later, but its all stock. 1 Quote Link to comment
jboulukos Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yeah Sierra, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a B210 posted on craigslist for parting out at a junkyard. I called the owner and he went out and checked the dash pad for me and said no cracks. It was $50 firm and totally worth it. Like I said, it was so white and faded but a good cleaning and armor all about 5 times over made it look super new. I also took the dash speaker from that car and maybe the anti-dieseling solenoid from the carb. Charolastra. I'm not far from you in Evergreen Park. I'm currently in California doing some work here. Yeah, the paint job was around $450 at Maaco. haha. 1 Quote Link to comment
thatdirtykid Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 There are better products around than armor all. The gent that sold me my rx7 took meticulous care of it, including armorall the dash and a few other parts were cracked on otherwise a perfect car. I am not the only one scared away from the stuff. http://zhome.com/ZCMnL/tech/dash.html#armorall Quote Link to comment
jboulukos Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks for the post thatdirtykid. I actually use a Meguiars product. I said "armor all" in order for general understanding...similar to using a "Kleenex" even though it may be a tissue of a different brand. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 That's a no no. The Ratsun way is to be specific. If it is a NAPA gold, don't call it a Fram. 2 Quote Link to comment
charolastra Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Let me know when you come back, and we can start our Datsun club :P I know a guy who have a Z. We can do something by marquett park.
