Do I fix the body?

I have a 92 GXE auto. The car runs great has all new or
rebulit parts on it but the body needs alot of work. It has
some rust and lots of hail dents.

The parts it needs are 2 bumpers 2 front fenders hood trunk and 1 door and a roof. What I would like is a 92-94 GXE with a blown motor and good body.

Um, that car is way past its prime (EDIT: in terms of the outside that is,) and with an AUTO it's even less appealing.

If you want to stick with this gen, I would hunt down a SE 5spd, be it a VG motor or the VE. A running example will cost you way less than all those parts and only slightly more than a busted engine Maxima for parts.

Welcome, and I think you answered your own question.

Thats true I have a 5spd honda crx. And 5sps are more fun but I have had my Gxe 9 years it was my first car. I could keep my gxe for when I feel like driving a auto. and get a 5spd max se.

My max is for sale...haha

I am always trying to pimp it out, but no takers yet.

I think your idea of finding a GXE is a good one. You could probably either get one that broke a t-belt or one with a bad tranny. The VG ATs seem to go out frequently and are expensive to replace.
