I found a NICE looking 210 in a junkyard in TN. I think i could get it cheap for parts. Biggest thing i want is the front end. My car now has the later style square headlight frontend. The early style has round headlights and more classic Datsun look not a newer Nissan look. What do yall think of the 2 fronts?

(Datsun)Old Style front end

(Nissan)Newer Style front end (Neither of these are my cars, They belong to a datsun collector in the UK......Collectors Datsuns )What front end should i use???

Ohh yea....its a simple swap too. Fenders/Grille/headlight brackets/headlights... if i can get that car from TN im going to swap the dash too. The early style has a better looking dash also.

Its a junkyard car. That means no title. And the wagon is a no rust at all car. Plus its a member of the family now......
