that car is making me crazy. I was trying to reprimer the hood today and i made a big mess. I put the primer on too thick and it started cracking so i'll have to strip the hood again and try again. how does earl scheib paint a car for $300? I spent over $100 just on paint stripper.
What did you do to the taillights, replace them or poilsh them up?
Where'd you score that rally side mirror from?
tail lights:
Take em apart - gut em - take out the metal things - get all the old glue out of the grooves - use steel wool to polish the plastic, it makes it 'matte' but looks very nice (you could polish i suppose) . CLEAN WITH 409!!! - Then Mask the lens, use krylon fusion ( paint for plastics ) - respray black surround - spray inside of back part metallic silver - use silicone to bond lens and back part together ( makes em watertight ) - then put a fat ring of silicone around where the old rubber seal was - let it sit till the silicone is cured - re attach to car. If you're not using led bulbs then leave the metal reflectors in.
Mirror came from ebay. $20 I should sell the chrome drivers side one i found, they seem to go for more. ( i only have 1. )
Ebay has had many good 210 parts lately.
I got a black dash cover thingy looks like an OEM Black dash now.
lemme say... Krylon fusion paint and 409 cleaner rule.
I've been turning all my blue/green plastic trim black and it looks good.
409 is also an excellent pre-paint cleaner.
I gotta fix the dang carb's vacuum leak. Is it possible that the carb needs to be rebuilt and that's what's looking like a vacuum leak?
these springs are 1.5" lowering springs. the stock springs are 14" tall these are shorter than that, oddly enough, the rear end sits at the same height as before ( except that it doesn't rub the drivers side tire anymore. )

Only front fenders and air dam to paint!!
got the weber 32/36 rebuilt and now the car runs properly! What seats will fit in this car easily? I might just get a roll bar and then get some racing seats and harnesses since those are way more comfy.

Looks great B11sleeper. Some one on the Dastun 210 club boards once mentioned something about KN13 [or was it N12?]Pulsar seats in a 210 I think. I don't think it was a bolt in though. Maybe going with racing seats would be best!
might look into getting some s chasis seats to put in there migh tbe able to find a power one and pimp it. That is a nice looking datsun not many of those around. Can you put the IRS from the 200sx in it that would really compliment the E15et

Wow the rear springs look really tall for the 210's. Don't let this thread die. Keep it comin'!
