It has taken 5 YEARS to get my car looking almost as good as it did before it was totaled out twice over. It has worn bumpers, hoods, doors, and fenders from 7 different Maximas and is currently made up of 5 as of now. Maybe I should have just had mismatching replacements painted and been done with it, but doing it the way I did has led me on a path that I wouldn't have went down otherwise.

Many faces in 5 years..



Current state of the car. Still not perfect, but I can live with it until I decide to paint.

 

hahaha. thats pretty ironic. both lookin good tho.

 

Thanks. It gets even more ironic and/or coincidental if I went into details. For example, the hood on pic 6 is a different hood than the one from the accident. Been through 3 hoods, 3 sets of fenders, and 3 bumpers including originals

 

Congrats man...Looks good.

 

I like this thread.

 

Congrats on both.

 

both cars look great now. i still got tons of body work to do to my 94 VE auto.

when i first got it:


since then two people have back into while it was parked (notice dents in sides) :





and i had an accident when a girl stopped short in front of me in the snow:

 

the way it looks now

 

Both cars look good Hectic, nice work.

 

Hectic you're my hero...I love them both, but I love the VE more.

 

Wow, neato, VE p0wAh!

 

Well I don't know about being anyone's hero, just getting them back to stock appearance But thanks for the comments! Nice to have the VG looking presentable again without a nose mask.

 

You did a good job for home garage performed body work! It's all about patience...nice job x 2,...Dude!!!

 

I like the white one alot . you know were way to into these cars when we think a stock VG max looks good. but seriously that white one made me smile.

 

Hey dude, those Maximas are looking mighty nice. So which one are you gonna sell me dirt cheap in exchange for staying at my place??? I'd like a rust free 5spd please!
