I'm going to be taking tips from this thread. I have a little rust problem on my 510.

Awesome car you have there! she sure does need alot of tender loving care now under your hands. Any thoughts on giving it a proper rear c210 conversion? From MY and a C210 fan too by the way

Nice one. I love Japan Skylines, free her of the rust and she'll be perfect.

Well the main reasons are that, cars like that are rare, like my lil Honda, as seen by others. Took me 2 years to be where I am now

Then again, the C210 are more common than my Honda, I did saw a pristine condition one for sale on the local classifieds for only 1,300 USDs ?

this would be such a demoralising thing to read for the current restorer!

the c210 is more common than a honda?

c210 sedan, sorry, did you even looked at my honda? 1800 made in the world? im sure even the c210 coupe would be more massed produced?

yes i follwed your honda project when i still had my n600

Just not my kind of thing altough you did great with the s600!

just found a c210 2 door for sale in the uk... tempting..

haha yes, but u guys in the dutch drive in the wrong side of the road, dont wanna go for a c10 or c110, which makes more sense? haha
i started from the s600 project blindly without thorough research, but i guess i learn lots now.

Eric · **Posted:** Thu Apr 28, 2011 9:45 am

its not the wrong side, its the other side

sure i want to go for a c10 or c110, but they are even harder to find and alot more expensice etc.
and if one of them comes for sale they are sold in two hours most of the time..

Nice C210! :tu:

Camshaft · **Posted:** Thu Jul 26, 2012 6:15 am

Both C210s are very nice cars! :tu:

These cars are really underappreciated, personally I think they're one of the cooler Skylines...

sorry for the delayed reply.. bad thing happened between me and the guy who did the body work. Eventhough the workmanship was awesome i ended up dragging the car to other friend's workshop. Kinda lost the progress pictures but i gain some..hope it does help. This and that happened..here's the story..

So..the body was chopped and welded here and there
