Hi,
I have a '95 gle and I really like it. Did an intake, ypipe, clear corners etc. Here's my issue. It's a little high on mileage, and secretly i want a 5spd. Now, I could live w/the auto, and even more so if I get a vb mod. I really like the color of my max and I don't see it often (dark red-don't know what it's called) but it is a little banged up, scratched, etc. anyway it's paid off in a year so i'm trying to plan. is it worth it to get the body work done. how much does a good job usually cost? the interior's a little scrappy too because it's 9 yrs. old and tan/beige. the dork who had the car before me left a couple burn holes in the headliner and the front pillars where the tweeters are. I'd like to keep this car, but I can't keep dumping cash for mods on a future beater, y'know.
any input?

 

Seems like a good project car to me

Serious you really don't have too much problem. I think your color is Ruby Red (color code AL0) and since its not a tri-coat paint then depending on how much scratches you have you probably get it fixed on the cheap.
A complete paintjob will probably run you around $1500-$2500 for a decent one.
You can get the inside redone. www.leatherseats.com or keep checking the For Sale forum for cheap parts every.

 

What about carpet/headliner/etc.?
Where can I get my hands on some new fabric?

 

and paid off is the way to go, im driving mine till it explodes or catches on fire. for body work im looking into doing the same thing, i was told to ask about the following

-wet sand with a reclearcoating
or
-buffing out scratches and imperfections
or
-repainting

good luck, hopefully soon ill have more info on what im going to do

 

me 2..scratches is a bish.. i have chipped paint and scratches...btw..car payed off in a year aswell..thinking about going to a detail shop and seeing waht they can do before killing 3k on a paint job.

 

You'll have to take it to an auto upholstery store. Check the phone book and call a few of them...

 

I couldnt find out what the site does! you buy a whole leather seat or a leather cover for it !?

 

opps you get brand new leather seats. they got very nice leather seats for maxima! 1 question, what you do for 98+ maximas ? you gotta give up the side airbags?
