insurance$$$$$$$$$????????????/

 

after new wheels too, **** that sucks.

judging from where its been hit, some ******* want paying attention?

 

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Another one bites the dust. Man, this is getting too frequent. Are you all right? No injuries were there? What happened?

 

Jesus man! Sorry to hear about the bad luck. Are you going to fix it? If not...man that just sucks...maybe it's time to join me in RWD land.

Dude that sucks man...u wanna buy mine?was anybody hurt good or did you back into a pole....but hey it can buff out..haaha sorry dude..

 

Yeah, I was stopped waiting to turn right and this woman in a minivan just plows right into me, no braking just literally drove right into the max. She pushed it about 10 feet. No injuries except for the poor Max having a sore ***. It's a write off, and the insurance company is going to throw some numbers at me tomorrow. I do have the option of keeping it and taking a cash settlement and fixing it myself though. It's at my shop right now, and I already pulled it a bit, it will go. I haven't decided whether or not i'll keep it yet, I might look for a decent 300ZX.

 

..........

 

that suxs.........




join the club

 

I know of a 86 that with some TLC can be very nice for you my friend! j/k

S

 

that sucks..........how did i know you were going to say a lady in a minivan....

good luck with it. glad youre ok.

 

Mine went out the same way , 2 years ago I got $2050 from insurance for my '88 GXE with almost 100k on the clock.

 

Sorry to hear it, glad you're alright. I know (from recent experiance) that it's painful...

 

That sucks, but with some time and effort you can fix anything. Good luck.

 

Well, they'll give me $1150 for it, bone stock without all the aftermarket stuff. That's about what I expected, considering it's 20 years old and still on it's original engine with 323,000 Kms ( just over 200,000 miles ). If I take a cash settlement, they'll deduct the salvage value of a whopping $150 from that and give me an even grand. So my logic says grab the cash and fix it. All I absolutely have to replace is a taillight, the rest is repairable.... stay tuned for the Return of the Max!

 

Good decision. Have fun pulling those dents out.

 

**** thats more then dent pulling, the whole unibody had to be pushed up about 2 inches in the driver rear....thats gonna be some harsh work

 

No problem! I know a very good bodyman and painter

 

Heh heh heh heh ya have some fun with that

 

A good buffing should take care of that.

 

i would just leve it for now

 

Instead of pulling it you may want to look into getting another car. Preferably a maxima but that looks like a lot of work to get that back into specs.

 

Boy are you guys sure doubtful. It's already pulled, took an hour to strip it down and 2 more to pull. Pics coming later.

 

i demand pics, lol.

 

Wow, well show me the way. I would like to see pics of this. Not doubting, I just want to see how its coming along.

 

Here's the progress:

Stripped down and ready for pulling,



After chaining it down to the floor pots and a few pulls,






Now it just needs a bit of welding and give it a skim of filler. More pics as it progresses. It should be ready for paint this weekend.

 

Just happened to troll this forum for the first time to see this...that's amazing work. Good luck.

 

Nice, good as new! I've done the forklift trick before!

S

 

BTW, did you get an insurance settlement already?

S

 

Yeah, they gave me $1000 cash.

 

Wow, nice work! Like Sarin said, Good as new. They gave you some good money for it too for your insurance settlement. Keep us posted.

 

now thats what i call an reincarnation

 

ya dude that is some GREAT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!



its amazing what can happen when you have a nice shop, and the right tools




unlike my backyard :-(

 

Very nice work.

 

Wow that came out great. Makes me wish I kept my 2nd gen

 

Damn thats amazing, who wouldv thought it would be able to look like that again. Good Luck with the rest of the replacements.

 

Thanks, guys! It's had a lick of filler and is sitting in primer now. I managed to get the bumper cover reasonably straight too, it was a bit warped in the first place. I'll snap a few more pics this weekend before and after I paint it.

 

hit myne in black also.... i wish

 

Time to put her back together! Here it is all prepped for paint:




And after a coat of sealer, 2 of colour, and 2 of clear, it's a Maxima again:

 

LOOK OUT THE SEMI BEHIND YOU IS GONNA SMASH IT AGAIN!

NEW PAINT...argh i am jealous...didnt expect a whole new paint job though but might as well eh

i must say though it is an interesting way to paint a car...alot of things you masked off i would have taken off
