Datsun B310 Sunny breaking

[Joncedric]

Here's another of my fleet with no future.



I think the roof is rust free. Every other panel will need big repairs or replacement so it will be going to my local banger racing buddy.

Anyone need any parts before it goes, probably early next week?

is ben havin it, he cant drive

Save the chrome front bumper Jon, they're hens teeth. if you can be arsed it might be worth swapping the struts and lower arms for B110 ones so you can keep the B310 ones. Good for swapping onto a B110 as an upgrade.

Have to ask,... what gearbox??

Also anyone reckon I could fit the rear wrap around bumper off the estate on my coupe with relative ease??

The rear bumper is dinged, which is a shame. Only the coupe would have had 5 speed gearboxes in the UK. Something Eddie and I tried out on my B310 fastback was mounting an early A10/Violet bumper on my car. Fits a treat, and all you'll have to do is modify the mounts.

Darren R has already taken the front bumper. Never thought about the suspension. It'll be useful on Herself's 1200 sedan.

Ahhh I thought the later estates came with a 5 speed .. oh well.

My bumpers arn't too bad since I painted them, so I'm not in a hurry to change them, just a thought to make the rear a little neater

The estate rear bumper is too narrow to fit a saloon or coupe if I remember correctly. I tried that once.

If it had been fitted with a 5-speed, it would have been swapped on day one. Got plenty of uses for them.
