Welp, I finally bought a RWD car, I've only owned VW's in the past so I am stoked to have something new! I named it Todd Grass because of an inside joke between from friends based on a dude with a mullet we saw at a party one time... it's a long story, but I think the name is quite suiting. Anyways he is a 1977 Datsun B210 also known as the Nissan Sunny, picked it up for 450 bucks in K Falls over the weekend! I'd like to make it into a drifer/daily. It has a 12a swap from a 1st gen Mazda RX7 with a said to be 52K on both of them, based on the cleanliness I almost believe it. My plans for the exterior are to keep the paint as is, fix the rust, lower it, wheels, lose the rear bumper, and possibly bolt on fender flares? As for the interior I kind of dig the current seats, although I have no clue what in the hell they came out of. I'd like to put some sort of metal dash with a custom gauge and switch set up in there, and get some harness seat belts as well. As of right now I'm just trying to get it to run and drive good enough to take on the streets. Here's a video of the beast! Love how loud it is with the open headers, unfortunately I think my dad may kill me if I do not get exhaust on it soon due to excessive noise My Holley 1850 was having some problems starting so we swapped my buddies Holley 1848 off his rotary powered e21 on there to get it running, our linkages were not the same, so he controlled the throttle while I drove it up and down the street. It was too awesome.
Also here are some photos of the ugly goat.
Pretty sure this says METH, shows some classy motherlover owned this beast at one point.
RUST!
These windows are so ugly in the most awesome way.
Tires are looking a bit cracked.
Holley fuel pump and regulator.
Racing Beat intake manifold.
Racing Beat headers.
Has some decent blocks in the rear and just about the smallest shocks I have ever seen!
That's all for tonight, and questions or advice is appreciated! Thanks for looking pal.
