dattson510 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 So this is the end of the B2turd. I thought that the damage wasn't going to be that bad, but there are structural problems. For the cost of fixing it just to get it road worthy again, I could get a new B210. So this project is done and I'll be parting out to myself and others. Maybe now is a good time to start looking for a 1200? Oh wait, I just lost my job..... When it rains it pours. And it rains a lot in Portland. Quote Link to comment

dattson510 Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 My lady was driving to work. It was raining. She was on the off-ramp when the tires broke free. She wasn't going fast, so she thinks that somebody leaked something. The off-ramp has walls on both sides so she had no room for correction. Slammed once. Slammed twice.:( Quote Link to comment

TWO-TEN Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Also sorry to see the little B210 off the road. I have a 4 door that I picked up off a 90 year old who had a minor wreck. I've been searching for a right side front door for it. If anyone knows of one I'm in SO CAL. Good luck to all. Quote Link to comment

dattson510 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hey Charlie, I'm gonna have to get a replacement car before I start to part this out. But when I'm ready I'll let you know. Quote Link to comment
Nicholas7620 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hey Charlie,I'm gonna have to get a replacement car before I start to part this out. But when I'm ready I'll let you know. Put your wheels on it, fill the clutch reservoir and bleed out the air and the car can be driven. It's in Dixon, CA. Sorry about your B210. Bad Chick :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Awww, that'll buff right out. Add a Rising Sun hood and a Ratsun.net sticker and call it good. :D We should do a Demo Derby on that farmer boy's head. What a moron. Quote Link to comment
420n620 Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 sounds like a good idea but I dont think it will help save them. if I had the room I wood go get them. I got a couple of friends that live up by him, maybe I'll see if they will let me store them... Quote Link to comment
Nicholas7620 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 It looks like you had taken off the DATSUN B210 super bumpers :eek: They would of left dents in the concrete ramp and saved your turd ;). Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 idk about that my 610 came stock with similar bumpers i removed my front one then got in a wreak yes it did take out my rad and rad support and some sheet metal but if i had had the bumpers in there it would have bent the subframe and i really would have been up shit creek Quote Link to comment
dimeofftheline Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 What's the story on that Mini in the background? Quote Link to comment
dattson510 Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 It's a 1969 Mk2 Morris 1000. Hydrolastic suspension. All stock except the 10" Minilites. Used to be my daily driver but hasn't run for about a year and a half. Waiting till I can put a new 1275 in it. Quote Link to comment
purple Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Parting out yet? Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hey dude. From the pictures you posted, the damage does not look that bad. The front damage is mostly fender damage, another fender from a Junk Yard and minor straightening of the metal next to the headlamp would do. For the rear, cutting that section of a junked B210 would allow you to just cut and weld the new piece. You can always look for a B210 body , but you know how it is, when you need something, it is not there. Good thing to do is call a couple junk yards and asking them to call you when they get a B210. You can buy a good body when one appears, and give them the bad body in return. Don't give up. Jaime.________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment
dattson510 Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Going to pick up another B210 tomorrow. Sold the turd. I needed another daily driver to get me and the wife to work. I'll post pics of the new one soon. Quote Link to comment
