Some random shots of the butchering yard at Sher Shah...... saw some cars with good potential of saving but as now all of them would be in pieces.

Came across these rims at a shop............... thinking if they will look good on the car or should I continue with the original steel wheels

the wheels at present in this B310 are from Suzuki not genuine Datsun. If the alloys you posted are to your liking please get hold of it. It will require some good clean as detailing, not grinder buffing it will ruin the protective coating which appears very much intact even at scrapyard.

[sayedarsalanali]

Considered these rims as they looked age appropriate for this vehicle, not very fond of the looks.

Also I thought that this vehicle has Datsun original rims, please recheck the rims in the picture and confirm. The '79 one has for sure Suzuki's 13" rims installed.

Cleaning the carpet before storage. This was initially installed in Dec 2019

Which car do these belong to?
And how much you paid for these?

[sayedarsalanali]

Visual comparison of the original seat size vs the one planned to be installed

[sayedarsalanali]

Don't know the car, just picked these Randomly based on the nearest size to the original seats. Also the headrests are not originally from these seats.

Paid 9k in total for the Seats and the Headrest

[ahmed_11]

Their original headrests were missing? Or some other reason to buy separately?

[sayedarsalanali]

One of the headrests was in very bad shape, also my brother liked this headrest so we opted for this one. If we would have hone for the original ones, it may have costed us 1000 to 1500 Rs lesser.

[nnabeel]

Go for these rims. these are period correct rims and much better looking then the khyber steelies installed on your car.

Get them polished.

[sayedarsalanali]

@capsat @nnabeel thanks for highlighting the rims, the steelies are from Alto 1000cc......... let's hope that those Nissan rims are still available when I go to Shershah again (maybe tomorrow or day after).

[nnabeel]

Seats are cool looking. make sure they fit well and have enough gap between the two seats. Adequate gap between the roof and the head rest so it should not come in the way of back view mirror.

if the headrest shape would have been smaller and different....i would have bought four of them....two for front and two for back seats.....

[sayedarsalanali]

The original headrests were smaller, but we opted for these as they were more comfortable. In any case we can always swap the headrests as many options are available in the shop

[sayedarsalanali]

Front right door skin denting done. Denter moved on to the rear right door now.
