Some of you may be aware that I was on the lookout for an old b210 coupe,something ive fancied for a while,stuck a few ads up a while back with a little bit of response but had a random phone call the other night from a guy up north.....and well after a chat and a few pics being sent my way this should hopefully be being dropped off on my driveway on wednesday ;D     The story is its been parked in a garage since 1995,was pulled out last week,battery and a fresh bit of fuel and it fired up and runs a treat,it needs attention to the sills but other than that appears solid in all the usual datsun rust spots. Plans are something like this  Ideally anyway  Any pics for inspiration ? |

Love the coupe version of the 120y, looks like a right peach! Where do you put all these cars away Pete? Maybe I need to pave over my garden so I can add to my collection too!

My dream car growing up. I had a 140Y SDX, but the Z Coupe was the bomb.  |

Ooh i likey the yellow one grizz ;D I did have one years ago before i was driving legally,I'm talking 15yo crusing round a field type thing,it was metallic brown with a full length sunroof and rotten as a pear even then! I did the usual few tins of filler and snazzy hammerite paintjob before it died and got scrapped funny how these things come back in your life. |

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Band steels, keep hubcaps, win. *n That's what I was thinking. Better still, get larger steels and band them...fit the hubcaps in the dish!       |

It was ads like this in my mums old copies of national geographic that first drew my attention to these.....  I guess I just liked the idea of being able to "get in my little car and go!" lol There was another one equally as cheesy featuring a mrs popodopalopodous iirc,whose husband owned one of greeces most successful publishing companies and she liked the coupe as it made her feel young (she looked about 100) lol Some more shots I found whilst sat here waiting for it to turn up... This ones gorgeous  Sexy  end  Looks the part...  Same color as mine....  Shame about the junkyard location.... |

Have a pic or 2 of mine, I cant take any of the credit for the work, its an ex alramone car. I just polished it, and replaced the front bumper. Awesome cars these, get used to the usual comment 'i haven seen one of those for years' and 'didnt these all rust away' Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. ;D   |

I saw that one at the gathering,tried not to look too close in case i was tempted to run off with it lol Well its here,arrived at lunchtime,promptly dragged itself off the trailer and up the drive,the little 1200 engine working quite laboriously as the front brakes are binding badly. but it sounds sweet as a nut,can barely hear it on tickover will treat it to a service tho,its gonna need it after 12 years of none use. Ive had a good poke around it,its going to need some love to the rear ends of the outer sills,havent found anything else as yet apart from some slight bubbling to the tops of wings and bottom of drivers door. All floor pans,boot floor,spring hangers,strut tops,chassis rails are solid ;D best get me some waxoyl pretty sharpish. Few quick snaps  Interiors all there,ignition barrels been removed as previous owner passed away and relations couldnt find keys.i have another ready to go on.        Needs a good wash and a polish,quite chuffed with it really despite the gamble of buying it unseen ;D |
