B2Fresh Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Well been absent for quite some time and this my first post since I've been gone.. So here we go.. I just picked up this B210 that's been lingering around my neighborhood for a few years and since those years I've been eyeballing this car to hope I will own it some day.. Let be step back a notch and start by telling you how it happened.. One day I went to the local market and seen the car (B210) park at the market. Trying to figure out who owned the car but I was not about to ask every person to see who owned it. So I was done paying for my goods and headed out to my car and to my surprise the owner was sitting in the car and I finally had my chance to break the ice and introduce myself and chatted with the guy and just talked about the B210's that I've owned in the past and his ride. I asked if he would be interested to sell the car and he said he would think about it. I told him where I lived and worked and if ever wanted to sell it he could stop by any time if he ever decides to sell it. So we left it at that and parted ways and about 3 weeks later again to my surprise guess who shows up to my work.? Yes sir the owner of the car (B210). Asked to see if I was still interested in the car and my reply was "YES".!!! So we set a time for me to come by and check the car and set a date for me to come pick up the ride.. And there's the story of my come up on my new "B2Fresh".. Here are some pictures of the ride.. 2 Quote Link to comment

B2Fresh Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Thanks "thatdirtykid".. I might have one or two of them but that was in the mid to late 80's when I had them. I'll have the wife look for them and I'll post them up.. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 '77 or newer. Five speed? Loose the bumpers. Lower if the rims will allow it. Quote Link to comment
B2Fresh Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 love the patina !Thanks "TENDRIL" Yeah I think it's pretty cool looking but since I live near the beach I need to treat it before it get worse. Will see when that day comes if I choose to paint it or leave the way it is. Quote Link to comment

B2Fresh Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 '77 or newer. Five speed? Loose the bumpers. Lower if the rims will allow it.78 and to be honest I haven't even check to see if it's a 4 or 5 speed. I was just excited to pick it up and just park it till I get it registered to my name.As for the stance on the car it will definitely get lowered as much as them wheels will let me.. And for the bumpers I would like to switch them for something more closer to the body or clean it up a bit. Quote Link to comment

I was checking out the "ENIGMA" build I like what your doing to your ride. System looks awesome.. I have a long way to go to get this ride where I want it.. Quote Link to comment

B2Fresh Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Welcome back. Got pictures of the old ones too?Hey you go "thatdirtykid".. Found a picture of my first B2Fresh that I bought from my wife's uncle (original owner) back in the mid 80's. That's my daughter and I sitting in it when I had it lowered with stock honeycomb hubcaps. Man I had fun with that car.. Loved it to death and after having owned 3 B210 from all this time I knew I had to have another one. Quote Link to comment

B2Fresh Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I need a favor from someone that can help A Brotha out.. I need to see if someone that can make me a paper template of the rear 3pc spare tire cover for a hatchback. My recent B210 purchase did not have one and if I were to buy one it will cost a pretty penny. So best way for me to get one is to make one. I just need a paper template of all 3pcs fold it up and mail it. I will cover the shipping for your time. LMK if it's possible for that favor. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment
B2Fresh Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Still looking for the rear templates for my hatchback so I can started in making the rear more complete. I also have some old style looped carpet and padding that I've had for a while in storage so now I can put it to use as well with some other upholstery material that I've been holding on too. The only thing that sucks is this time change and by the time I get home it's already dark and I have no garage to work on it since it's being put to use already. Just need to work it out to get this thing going in the rite direction.. Quote Link to comment
B2Fresh Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Spent the weekend fixing the left front suspension that was side swiped before I bought the car.. There was no body damage but the front wheel got hit and pushed it forward that it bent the strut rod and bolt the holds the lower control arm to the crossmember. After further inspection I also noticed that the lower part of the strut housing was damaged also. Here are some pictures but one that I forgot to take a picture of was the strut rod. Trust me it was bowed bad but my good neighbor had a floor press and managed to straighten both strut rod and the bolt the holds the lower control arm to the crossmember. Here is the strut rod after straightening. It was bent like a 1/4 moon shape. Bent lower control arm bolt. Installed after straightened. This is the bolt when I took it out. All put back together. I will be replacing all bushing and putting new parts once everything is straightened out.. And this is the lower part of the strut housing just above the ball joint. Quote Link to comment
