1981 Datsun B210 review from North America
"Tough, durable, and made to last, with good mpg"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The light switch is bad because of dry rot.
Alternator belt broke this morning (mechanic installed belt upside down and it broke).
Needs a muffler (age).
Rust on body (dry rot from moldings).
General comments?
This car was my grandmother's (RIP) car. My grandfather bought the car for her brand new. Of course she only went to the store and church in the car. The car has not been out of the state of Alabama.
I will be fixing the rust spots and painting it soon. Of course with 20200 miles the car is just being broken in!
