I am on my way to pick-up a 78 B210 HB 5spd. It is in much better shape than the one I am currently restoring, hopefully this will save me time and money. I dropped off my dash pad and shifter boot at the upholstery shop this morning, they are being done in leather. I am negotiating right now with him to do a complete job of the 78 in leather (black) this is to include front and rear seats and all door panels.
The original carpet and heel pad in the 78 is immaculate and the pedals have little wear, showing 59,000 on the odometer of which I think may be original miles. It has the original paint, clean chrome bumpers and best of all no body damage. The only rust it does have (bottom corner near rear wheels) is minor.
Taking the perfect dash with Factory clock and Tachometer from mine will complete this Gem. I can't decide on original caps or changing over to 13" era correct alum wheels.
I have amassed all new suspension and braking components, I will install all of this before having it repainted the original Nissan color. I will post picks when I return on Thursday.
I will be parting out my 77 B210 HB with a very nice orig black interior and GFU (runs great) engine and 5spd (no problems) all good glass and removable body parts are clean and rust free., if anyone is interested in parts please pm me. I am located on the Olympic Peninsulla in Washington state. I will deliver parts to the NW area (Seattle and Portland) if enough $'s are made on purchase.
