SunnyLeopard Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hello Ratsun! ive just come upon a real gem of a 78' B210 sedan, 4 spd A14 car with only one owner and the original title from 1978 when the car was puchased new at the dealer. it sat in a barn for over a decade until it arrived at this shop and i left with it, only thing lacking is a carb rebuild to be on the road again and i was up to the task a little rough around the edges but the car is the cleanest example ive seen and most importantly all original with intact interior, all glass, factory spare, cb radio, am/fm radio chrome rain guards, a pristine grill, all badging, and factory spare. ive always lusted for a 210 sedan and this is the One. so i gave up my 91' F31 M30 for the project got the car home with the help of some buddies a Chevrolet, a tow strap and a rainstorm. stared at it and cleaned it up for a day then decided it was time to do what i always envisioned removed the 5mph US bumpers to free up the lines a bit and threw on my 14x6.5 +20 Wings Abatis Glint mesh (rear) and 14x6.5 +35 Epsilon Southern Ways (front). Suspension is on my mind now, thinking of some type of block in the rear with s13 coilovers up front that i have for another car. good to be here dudes, bay pics and more coming soon! 1 Quote Link to comment

Kirden Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Wow, that's a really nice b! Can't wait to see more. I'm on mobile so I can't see you're location, but I'm moving to the Cookeville/crossville area this winter. Maybe I'll see you at the Kentucky show or something one year. Quote Link to comment
B210GX Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Dont waste your money on the S13 coilovers. Do the 79-83 280zx strut and brake conversion. works quite well on the B210's. http://community.ratsun.net/topic/34171-280zx-struts/ -Mike 1 Quote Link to comment
SunnyLeopard Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 thanks for the kind words guys an yeah Kirdan down south datsuns unite!! and B210GX i already have the coils from another project, is the S130 suspension a better option for this car altogether? i know the brakes are a super upgrade but since i already have the s13 coils handy i figured what the hell. if S130 stuff is a bolt in affair however im game. do you guys recommend blocks out back? eventually wanting to do away with leaf setup altogether 1 Quote Link to comment

Datsunocaster Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 I believe either front bumper should work so what ever you have the best out of the 2 cars Ill take. The front parts should be same. Quote Link to comment
Datsunocaster Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 The one off the red car looks in good shape... Quote Link to comment
