Tennessee B210

[SunnyLeopard]

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!

Definitely needs lowah in the front. Good score! Welcome to Ratsun Sunny.

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.

Dont waste your money on the S13 coilovers.   Do the 79-83 280zx strut and brake conversion.  works quite well on the B210's.

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

Very nice I like the color.

update!, i obtained a GX 5MT A14 car that runs great for only $700

 

drove it for a day, loved it then threw the 14" off the sedan on it

 

drove it for a few days then got rid of the non oem two tone and ditched the US bumpers

 

i just love the lines of this car so much and man its a blast to drive, got alot more in store for it. a weber 32/36 and suspension coming soon on the GX and throwing stock carb on the sedan as well. very excited to get the orange one on the road but man do i love this GX! hope you guys enjoy!

Is the front bumper off the gx in nice shape?? Will you be interested in selling it?? Will need it ship to Florida..

[SunnyLeopard]

its got a couple of dents but its all intact do you have a coupe or sedan?

[Datsunocaster]

coupe fastback like your white one... 78... Can you send me pics to tbag1331@yahoo.com... big dents or small?? How is the chrome??

[mrmark]

Nice!  I like the white one better!

[Datsunocaster]

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.

[Datsunocaster]

The one off the red car looks in good shape...
