witchespellmichelle Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 I just bought a 1980 B210/310 and the trunk fell apart when i opened it. I'm looking for a new one, but i'm curious if one from an older year would fit (without modification) onto my 1980. Or is it based off generations? any help is appreciated! Kinda new! 🙃 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Welcome. 🙂 I am a newish B310 owner as well... don't know the answer. I am sure someone will come along that does though. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 If an '80 it's just a 210 AKA B-310. The B-210 started production with the 74 model year and ended in early '78 a half year model. The 210 or B-310 continued on from there. The sedan trunk lid is the same through June '80 production dates. The build date is on the tag on the driver's door jam. Cars after June '80 are '81 model years so important to check. 1 Quote Link to comment

witchespellmichelle Posted October 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 okay...i'm not done with this thread. I have questions... Are there trunks that are universal between models? ... like...can i use a 1200 or a 510 or a 610 on my 210? is it even plausible? -bella Quote Link to comment
80datson Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 I doubt it Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 It's not a VW BUG or a Lada. Quote Link to comment
witchespellmichelle Posted October 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 i had to look up a Lada...because i didn't know what it was... ...i want one! those are sweet! -_- i think there is another trunk that will fit it...there's got to be! (says in Liam Neeson voice); "...i will find it...and when i do...i will make it mine too" Quote Link to comment
afracer Posted October 21, 2020 Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Trunk body panel? No Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 The 210/B310 is rather specific to itself. Doesn't share any body parts that I know of. Some interior pieces are compatible with the 720. My parts book shows one part number for the trunk so it's possible the trunk lid is the same for '79 - '82. I don't know where you're located but there's a round eye B310 in Ontario, CA right now. If someone is close maybe they'll be willing to pull it for you if you can't find one. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 The sedan trunk floors are all the same all years. Trunk lids part numbers changed for '81 but I think they are the same. Quote Link to comment
witchespellmichelle Posted March 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 My round headlight 1980 210 trunk lid is basically gone. Once a week I look on eBay for a 210 lid to pop up. I only seen that one, 310 lid for $270 in Greece, I think. I'm in Washington, so I'm not near that one in California. I really need to search some wrecking yards. And soon, because I will be ready to paint next month. Ugh! The 310 looked soooo close in styling! I was just hoping. @80datsonhas been kind enough to help me out giving me some ideas about repairing mine or keeping an eye out if he sees one. I was thinking gobs of bondo or fiberglass.

datzenmike Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'll look when I get back from my walk. Roof line probably different, rear glass maybe but trunk lid probably same. It's expensive to have so many different parts for basically the same car. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 There appears to be no difference between 2 or 4 door trunk lids other than the part number change for '82 which is long after the style change in mid year '80 models. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Might be one here in Eugene. I’d have to check. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Yeah there is one down here in Eugene. Probably more of a pickup rather than ship situation. Also I haven’t seen it myself, but I could get my hands on it at some point. Quote Link to comment
witchespellmichelle Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) I went to a pick-n-pull yesterday (while it was sunny and dry out). Lakewood didn't have anything. They said they looked in their computers and didn't find any else at any other pick-n-pulls. I then went to another wrecking yard in Spanaway and same thing. Then I went to a third wrecking yard and it was closed. So I then went to the mall and bought a few spring and summer dresses to make me a little bit more happy.

If they have it they’ll generally ship. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment
