Hope this doesn't sound to crued,but I'd go shares in it if I could purchase the parts I'm after. Those parts being bumpers x2 and door skins. Willing to pay a valid amount.

Harvo, did it come out with the manual? I'm taking it is a manual looking at the pics.

passing ewe, if you just need parts, i know of a 4door 240k an old bloke has sitting on his front lawn...if thats what you need??...

if anyone in perth wants it, i reckon it would make a nice resto...bit of rust but still good... msg me for more info.

240k bumpers are going to look pretty strange on your c210 Ricky! They are a totally different shape.

As for your car Dan, the last sorry looking C210 coupe that came up on ebay went for $500... but that was about two years ago - I can't remember seeing one advertised since. There are so few left now that your much more likely having people compete for yours. It's lucky that your car is totally original - you'll get a much better price for an original car compared to one that's been modified crudely... that being said, the winning bid may well come from and Asian/Arab buyer. C210s go for serious money in Japan and Kuwait.

Cheers Guys,

Not looking to sell at present, just curious :P

Plans are to fix it up for rego first then maybe think about a respray in the original green or close to. Have been pulling little bits off and taking them to work (bead blaster) and cleaning them up. Also started to paint strip/polish the wheels which is going to be a mission. but anyway

passin ewe: There's not a lot of chrome showing on the bumpers really,with all the plastic crap hanging off them. Thought about some chrome spray?(shudders)

Oh and by manual do you mean the gear box or the manual I got off ebay a couple of weeks ago?

Dan

I know some dodgy bikies who beat and rechrome bumpers fairly cheaply in Melb... the bigger problem you'll find is the rubber strip that runs the length of the bumper is usually rusted solid. Once it's off, it's doesn't go back on again!

Repainting in original green and polishing everything is exactly what I'd do with Dan's car if it were mine!

Hey,

I've got the OK from my better half to go ahead with respray after stripping the rear end to do some rust repairs :P

Thinking about going with this Tropicana green (was the closest match at short notice) with either a gold ghost pearl or a blue shimmer pearl as the original green has a bluish kinda tinge :banana: .

man that blows.. i swear noone sees the potencial in these cars. but the people who do are quite obsessed with them!

ive heard way WAY more stories about people thrashing these cars into the ground and pissing on them than people doing them up. shame.

glad to hear you're working on something awesome!

Seems like I'm starting to make some progress, got the roof and bonnet back to bare metal, etched and undercoated. It's been so long since I've had a gun in my hand but It's looking ok so far :blink:

Etch primer

Thanks guys, lots of sanding done and still lots to go :(

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
