Alright, can't seem to find much on the net so I thought I'd ask for some help.

I've got to replace a buttload (bumper, bumper cover, splash guards, all the lights, part of the frame, etc, so on) of parts on the front end of a 97 Maxima on Saturday, and I can't seem to find much in the way of body work manuals for it (in paper form), and both Chilton's and Haynes are about useless. Do any of you know of any web based sources I might be able to look at to find some help in this regard? I hate going blindly into a project, as it usually ends up costing more time and money than necessary.

 

if you dont know what you are doing take it to a body shop. there are professionals that will do that stuff. u will prolly end up screwing up and will have to go there in the long run. just fork out the doe and u will be satisfied. trust me. good luck

 

It's not a monetary concern, nor lack of body work proficiency. I've done plenty of body work on other types of vehicles in the past, but I'd like to get my hands on some hard text outlining what screw goes to what hole, if you get my meaning.

 

there really is no hard copy to taking our car apart really, and if you really dont wanna fork out worthless money for it, just take your car apart yourself...tip. stay sober (if ya drink, ya gonna forget)

im redoing my entire car right now, i just have 1 single box i put all the stuff i tear off along with some masking tape and mini ziplock bags.
do what you can, i wouldnt waste my money.

 

wouldn't the nissan service manuals have any info?

 

Heh. I'll save the beer for afterwards.

Wouldn't have the foggiest. All I've got are a Haynes and Chilton manual for it, and as stated they're about worthless. Would I have to get the service manual through the dealership or possibly at some local bookstore?
