Want a new project rr?   
Nice 210 BTW, would make a nice solid project, or just drive it.

Quick, somebody, buy it. The poor thing needs those fart-pipe exhaust tips removed ASAP as a public service.
Looks similar to my ol'girl.

Yours looks way nicer.  That one on Kijijijijiji has a Nissan V8 in it...and looks like a race car inside...kinda yucky...even yuckier than a Camaro.   ;D

Yes, it's been leaned -on. Notice the non-stock 5 bolt wheels for instance, lowered and god knows what else.
If you look close on the pics I posted there are subtleties of design between years.
The 1970 and early (first 3 months of ) 1971 models had stock fiberglass head light nacelles, twist to turn gas cap covers (instead of finger slot pulls) and rear ventilation strips on the back hatch instead of behind the quarter windows.

I'm sure I remember this car was called a Sunny in England. Hard to brake they seemed.

Known as the B310 or Sunny in other markets. My aunt had a yellow one in the UK for years.

My dad came so close to getting a 210 once when shopping for a 2nd car.  Opted for a used VW Beetle which had been repainted in its original glossy pale yellow glory. The thing was shot through with rust holes within a year but was a blast to drive.  Were the 210s really as bad with rust as people are saying here?  Couldn't be as bad as that Beetle!?
