1978 B210 coupe pics

[jboulukos]

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?

Looks clean!

[jboulukos]

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.

Very nice.

Looks great! Is it a 1977?

 

The 2-door sedan looks the best! The coupe has that 70s hatchback look.

Thanks Road Warrior.  It's a 1978...as old as me.

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.

The bumper-ends look perfect. Gotta get a 5-speed in that thing. 

[jboulukos]

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.  

[Sierra]

I cant believe you found a upper dash in a junkyard that was not crack.

Freaking awesome!!!

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.

[jboulukos]

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.

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.

[jboulukos]

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.

[ggzilla]

That's a no no. The Ratsun way is to be specific. If it is a NAPA gold, don't call it a Fram.

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. Ohh and there is another guy who lives by north side and have a 510 wagon. I just have to fix my brakes and order my tires for my z wheels and ill be ready
