BestyBlue77 Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 This is great thread! Had fun reading through your adventures. I just went through a similar situation, but with 2 B210 coupes. I'm in Cali so they are in much better condition, and one has been sitting in a backyard since 1976. WA weather is brutal on cars. Nice work saving what you could! Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted February 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Made some more progress on the sedan today. My parents were up and my dad helped for a bit so that was cool. Also had a couple visitors picking up parts. Ready to have this all done though so I can get back to work on Rice Wagon and Swamp Thing. Can't see it in this picture but the floors are rotted out pretty bad! Dash almost ready for extraction Anyone need seats? I'd prefer to give them to someone who wants to reupholster than throw them in the trash bin. 1 Quote Link to comment

carterb Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Got the dash out after Church. It was 30 something degrees out. SO COLD!!! I wanted to get the drive train out today too but I gave up. Freezing out there. My fingers were numb. Got the fenders off too. Frame rails look nice actually! Drip rail removed for Swamp Thing. 2 Quote Link to comment
Noflers Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 You still have front strut tower tops? Yes, the actual sheet metal. Lol I need a pair. Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 The wagon ones are gone but I will have a pair from the sedan. I may have another set too from a different car... PM me if interested. Someone hack up your strut towers installing camber plates or something? 1 Quote Link to comment
Noflers Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Ohhh yeah. Haha. I'll pm you. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 glad to see these didn't end up getting crushed and are helping others. 1 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Almost finished disassembling the sedan yesterday. Surprisingly nice weather (although cold and windy) but also had some Ratsun friends visit and a car loaded on a trailer and tons of parts left the property. Roof! Man these are heavy!!! One guy wanted the rear floor to do an IRS swap in his wagon Finished for the evening... Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 It was supposed to snow today so I didn't think I would be able to work on the car but by the time I got home from church, there was nothing on the ground and even though it was only 36 degrees, I really wanted to get this thing done so I made one last push... I got the front suspension, engine, and tranny out first. A guy wanted the strut towers... The floor has some major rust issues but could certainly be used for patches and there are quite a few feet of good rocker as well. Gone!!! Now to finish dispersing the parts and then I can get back to work on my own Datsuns! 2 Quote Link to comment
4perrev Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Damn Carter! That was some fine work there. Good on ya for keeping all those parts in circulation. True devotion and something you won't find in the Honda world! Not offense to anyone who owns one. Nice thread and great job. My hats off to you! 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 19, 2018 Report Share Posted February 19, 2018 Well done. :thumbup: 1 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Thanks. More than two dozen people benefited from parts off of these cars. Might have been closer to three. Just recycled the two roofs today along with all the other big FREE parts that no one wanted. Nothing left on my lawn now but a set of 4dr doors, a nice Left Rear wagon 1/4 panel, and a wagon rear axle assembly. All the little stuff is either distributed to others or shelved for later. --carter 2 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Are you selling the rear wagon axle? Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted March 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'd like to, yes. PM'd. --carter Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 The LEFT DRIVERS FRONT window regulators are getting hard to find..............the other regulators also sell, but not as "hot"! All 68-73 510 2dr 4dr & Wagon regulators are the same PER CORNER/DOOR....... Quote Link to comment
BestyBlue77 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 A B210 sitting since 1976? Was it driven there from the dealer? What the heck?! Lol. Some youngin' was having too much fun in it I'm sure, and rolled it when it was only a year old. 8'256 miles on it. Only had external damage to the body. Imagine what the interior and engine looked like when the old man bought it from the fender shop in 1976. I'd kill to have the seats alone. What a shame he let it rust and rot. Damn hoarders!

Eversaul86 Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Carter, I tried to PM but for some reason it wouldn’t go through. Based on your post in March I think I missed the boat on this by a few months, but what’s the odd chance you saved the sedan roof? 1 Quote Link to comment

carterb Posted April 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Roof long gone and most other parts dispersed, sorry. Still have 4dr doors and a really nice wagon 1/4 panel plus boxes of misc do-dads. Cleaning out inbox now so I can receive PM's again. Quote Link to comment
