Its not too bad but not worth the money to fix. The car has a solid motor and trans, all 6 new injectos, fuel pump, radiator, water pump and timing belt.

Has a lowering kit too. I believe Eiabach (sp?)springs...check out my profile and im sure you will see a thread on here about a year ago about them.


Car has some front end damage.....here is the c/l ad.


http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/cto/2044601388.html

I'd fix it. Hood, lights, rad support etc... probably less then $300

I doubt i'll be able to find a pearl white hood for this car. If you come across one feel free to post it here. So far I have not found any junked pearl white 3rd gen maxima's.

If you have to buy a diff color hood and paint it black, so be it.

Aww you silly silly man. Go to the jy and get you another hood, grill, and lights. Unlike most of us with front end damage you didn't even screw up the front bumper. There aren't many of us left around here. For something this small its worth fixing instead of getting rid of it. Heck one guy on here (who's name escapes me right now) is replacing his whole front end after buying his car back from the jy. Enthusiasm.

Sez who...I got two pearl white hoods and I know where to get more. Stop your bawling and go to http://www.car-part.com. I just found it right there in your neighborhood.

fix it, dude. I doubt the rad support is actually messed up, which should bring the junkyard total to about 150, tops.
grill, hood, headlight and corner (good opportunity to grab some ebay clear corners )

Be a man and fix it. I'm betting the radiator support wasn't even touched and since you didn't hit the bumper, the frame isn't even twisted.

Lights, grill and hood arent going to be too much at the JY. And if you can't find a pearl white hood, just paint it black as previously mentioned.

If you buy another car, you will probably end up with more problems and end up spending more money than you would just fixing it up.

And your car looks clean, would be such a waste to scrap it or sell it to someone who won't care about it because its 18 years old.

and you can probably get away without replacing the hood for a short while, too.
my brother backed his gargantuan truck into my car, reciever hitch hit the corner of teh fender, and broke the corner light, headlight, and bent the hood and fender. I just grabbed some vice-grips and bend the hood/fender out of the way, got a "new" headlight and a set of clear corners (why I recommended it).
may not be perty but beats a new car with unknown history to replace it.

Fix that ****! All you really need to go get is the hood, as I'm sure you could get a great deal here on the forums on the grille, headlight, and corner light.

Hey I'm in the Chi where you located at I might be interested?

Hahaha -- you see? This guy knows it's an easy fix.

Quicker fixer upper

Ya thats not to bad. Definatley worth fixing. No structual damage done. Just Some Skins.

Agreed with all other posters, I was a panel beater for a few years and a job like that lights up my face for how easy it will be to fix. Probably wouldn't even take 5 hours bar the painting. I just spent $3000AU on my Max, its prob not even worth that to sell now but now that I have I can rest assured it will run for another 5-10 years no worries. Think about how much you love driving the thing and get your hands dirty for her...

Oh wow, are you serious? This is nothing.. Your looking at less then $300 in repairs. You wanna spend alot more on a different car? Go for it..

dude, Matt (not Matt93SE) had like triple that damage and he was fixing the car after he got it back, i guess the frame damage was way too bad so it was unfixable in the end. $50 for a hood, $30 for a headlight, $10 for a cornerlight, its nothing

theres actually a mint VE pearl 5spd at the junkyard here and another black VE 5spd. such a waste

That doesn't look too bad, I'm sure the frame is straight. This is an opportunity to do something to your Max(projection headlights, diff grill,carbon fiber hood). I don't know if that helps but since you'll be spending money fixing it and it mos def looks like it can be done in your backyard.

I plan on purchashing another car soon. I have not recieved any offers for the max....for now i'll just let it sit and drive my other car...thanks for the link to the junk yard as I can get the parts to fix the car for about $300

60637

fix that bro......or on other hand somebody buy that badboy and get that back on the street......glws

oooopsssss...gotta resize sig

you better fix that. i wrecked my VE auto the same way and i put it back together in my friends back yard. new hood, headlights, and grill. i just beat the frame section back straight with a bfh (big f**king hammer)

thats an easy fix. i wrecked my '93 back in '01 and i had to replace the crossmember and core support with new front right fender, hood headlights and a bumper cover and new paint job. most of us on here has had a lot more serious damage than what you have. you will spend less than $300. you already took care of the basic mechanical parts of the engine to just let her got for $750??? **** i paid less than $500 for all brand new timing parts for my '97 SE. put some effort into it and just fix it.

there is a **** load of them down here in FLa lol pulled some parts off one for this 93 gxe i got a few weeks ago.

I will add to the "fix it" comments and say..."Fix it, guy!"

There are alot of 3rd gen maximas down here at the pull a part, alot of pearl white ones! when I bought my car, a peice of the bumper was missing and the passenger side, and part of the passenger side fender was messed up. I bought it anyway because I knew it was a good car. People gave me different prices and alot of wrong information about it, saying I needed the whole bumper, when in fact I only needed the bumper cover. So I found a white one intact, and a grey fender intact, and installed both of them myself. So in the end I was stuck with a car with 3 colors lol. 3 months later I got it all painted one color, and thats the final result here.

I got a set of headlights, or just one if you need it, a black hood, and a grille. PM me if you want your car back in good shape...your probably better off in the JY for a hood tho cause shipping will kill ya

this guy wants another car.. pretty clear

$200 in parts+$500 car= $1000, easy.
not hard parts to replace, I could get it all swapped out in 45 minutes.
I don't care that he doesn't want the car anymore, i just hate seeing simple fixes get away for so cheap... unless I am the one buying the car...

if anyone is interested, the car is back for sale.

$900

You'll get $500 tops without fixing it. Also, ending a FS post with "Do not waste my time!!!!!!!!!!!!!" does more harm than good.

I sold my friend a mint looking VE for less then that, with a sound system and with less miles. Good luck with the sale.

Karl I can fix your Maxima for a good price. Real easy fix! I can even source those parts dirt cheap for ya! If you still have my number give me a call!

I got cold feet and decided to not sell the car the first time around. I know I will not get $900 for the car.

You have 3 maxima's now? Wow!!!

I am proabby going to keep the car. I need a extra car for bad weather days, plus I have fixed so much on it i'de be giving it away. Plus i'll never get $900 for it!

lol thats what we were trying to tell you the whole time.. 200 bucks and its good to go

Anyone know the best option for lower rocker panels? Mine are rusted out. Is there a cheap kit out there I can purcahse to repalce the old rusted lower rocker panels?

doubt it.. think u gotta go to the junkyard for that. colombianmax should know what to do about that.

I believe James fixed one of his a while back with jb weld I think. Or wasit fiberglass. Idk I just know he fixed a small area on his.
