YEAR - 1978 MODEL - C210 BODY - 2-door COLOR - orange

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!

i see the manual trans and the black interior. and i want it!

hey guys! might as well do a quick little intro since this is my first post my name is Cameron. im 22 and live in brisbane. i grew up in the fair country town of Maleny where i learnt to race cars and drink and not work very much. but since i moved to brisbane 5 years ago, not much has changed except that i have a good job (crane driver) and im alot wiser. im happy with that lol. i chose the screen name 'silent shadow' because that is my music production alias. i write a style of electronic dance music called 'drum & bass'. i have performed in most clubs in the valley and was very fortunate to play at Parklife this year along side some of the biggest acts in the world! i drive a crane. i write dance music. i love my old datsun. that pretty much me! (well not really but u know...) ive had a little soft spot for the c210 for years now. a 1978 sedan in yellow was actually my first car (at 17)! and i bought 2 more for $50 as parts cars back in the day. but a whole heap of 17 year old dramas and money problems made me have to give them all up. ive never forgiven myself *sniff sniff*. now that im out of the country and in brisbane and actually doing well for myself, i decided to find a c210 again for 2 reasons... 1. my very expensive magna was stolen in febuary this year and still hasnt been recovered. that threw me off owning a modern modified car ever again. 2. i love these cars to bits!! looks great. fun & predictable handling. chicks love a classic. seriously every girl that has met my car, has fallen in love with it! ok so i found a nice little '78 c210 coupe in brisbane in april. i bought it from a 70yo man and his wife. they bought it from an elderly woman in 1980 who had bought it from the showroom. couldnt belive my luck! the motor was a reconditioned item from 1998 and paint was redone 6 years ago. got it for $3000 in near perfect nick and a car + boot full of weird and wonderful parts. the engine is by far the most dog-like out of the 4 that i've owned. and the boring auto is not helping either! i've picked out the engine conversion already but that's going to take a few months to get happening. for now i would like to just do a 4/5-speed conversion on it. what do i need and where/what cars can i get the bits from??? a mate from my work is a speedway racer and he claims to have all the parts hook-ups rar rar rar. when i asked him to find me anything for this conversion, he came back with "mate... not a chance in hell". that was a great moment. cheers in advance for any info guys! Cam p.s. sick info in this thread already!
