OmahaJames Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hello everyone, I am new here, but I just bought my first Datsun and thought I'd share it with you. Its a 1978 B210 Coupe with an A14 and 4-speed transmission. It looks orange, but I think the original color was "cherry red." Its not very pretty, but I drove it from Charlotte, NC to Omaha, NE without any real problems. I am hoping to make it look nice, but I really don't have any experience with body work and/or painting, so we'll see how that goes. 5 Quote Link to comment
B210GX Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Nice looking 2dr sedan you have there. Always hated those steering wheels though. 1 Quote Link to comment

OmahaJames Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Thanks guys, I'm pretty excited about it, but I don't plan on driving it too much until the salt is washed away from the streets here in Nebraska. Quote Link to comment

OmahaJames Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 One of the things missing from this car is the carpet and I assume that there is supposed to be a trunk liner or some sort, does anyone have an image of what the trunk should look like on the inside?

datsunfreak Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks man, whats in the back of the trunk? I can see my gas tank and I assume that shouldn't be exposed. Big piece of masonite, cut to fit and painted satin black. It bolts to the three metal tabs hanging down at the top, and uses two L brackets to attach to the floor. This is what it looks like in a 510, and that is basically the same thing as the one in a B210 sedan. Quote Link to comment
