  1. Yes it is! And actually the radiator was JUST flushed, dipped and tested so it's mint!
  2. Hey everyone, Looked more into my build and came to the realization/conclusion that it's beyond saving at this point. Parts of the frame are really rotten, the floor is gone, and many parts I need would have to be ordered from Japan or you fine folks (Which means big bucks with the exchange rate to Canada... not to mention shipping). SO... I've decided to try to recoup some of my costs by parting out the parts that are good. The engine is apart right now (head, valve cover, exhaust manifold are all off) Parts I know I don't have at the moment are: - bumpers - turn signals (front) - wiper arms - carpet - center console So anything (aside from the above parts) you guys need, ask away. I'll let you know if I have it, if it's spoken for, or if it's too rusty lol. Whole car is available too, but shipping is probably not worth it. It's located in Cold Lake, Alberta. Delivery within 500km could be arranged for a cost.
  3. Thanks JCooper, didn't even think of looking into that! I'll add that to my to-do list. Thank chris850, she's pretty solid aside from the rust... floor is pretty rough. This winter is the time for me to do bodywork. Should be pretty much done by spring, if it goes as planned. Which is unlikely because I'll be in Tyndall AFB for a month in January but hey, I'll try!
  4. Thanks everyone, She's coming along. Pretty solid. Survived about 750kms of highway going northwest from Regina to Cold Lake, so I'm certain she'll be a good fit! Currently under the knife for a new head gasket and few bits and pieces, but once she's home, I'll be doing brakes, de-rustifying it and hopefully getting her Alberta ready! I'll be looking to repaint once the bodywork is complete, haven't completely set myself on a colour but I tested "calypso blue" which was a Ford colour match rattle can and it looked damn good! I'm also tempted to try a dark cherry colour, but I'm not confident it'll work well. Thanks for the link Datzenmike, I'll take a look through there for parts. :thumbup:

    B210 Rollcall

    It's not too bad. I drove it 750km's home from Regina to Cold Lake without a hitch (besides running out of gas 30min outside of town... lol) It's pretty solid, besides the rockers, fenders and floor, but that's all repairable. I have a buddy who's a welder/fabricator so he's going to help me patch her up. Overall I think it's in pretty good shape. Wiper motors work, lights work, steering works, no A/C but that's what windows are for :) Hoping to have her back from the shop next week or so. I'll get some better shots then!
  6. Hi everyone, Just made a couple posts on some threads but thought I should share my new car with you in a separate thread. I picked up a 1978 B210 2 door sedan from a guy in Regina, SK. I think he was the 3rd owner but not 100% sure. It's not in great shape but can't expect much from a Canadian car... I'm looking for a few parts and hopefully you guys can help me out one day! Needs fenders, front grille turn signals, wiper arms, (a floor, like really bad), front side markers, center console plastics, new seats (or covers). Came with a Weber carb installed, which is nice! I'll be replacing the air filter once I get it back as well. Looking for something that fits properly without zipties :thumbup:
  7. Mine's a little rough too... just picked her up so haven't had a chance to make her pretty again.

    B210 Rollcall

    Hi everyone, First post here, just got a 1978 B210. She's pretty rotten, but can't expect much from a 40 year old Canadian car really. Currently on the hunt for quite a few parts. Hopefully someone here can lend a hand in the search! Here she is!
