95 GLE in need of Serious love( Showoff of the "new" unloved ride)
Ok, new member of the .Org but not new to fixing up someone elses beaters, picked up this "Gem" of a 95 for 20 Bucks and it was obvious what it needed, including the non obvious, front struts(ripped out of the car jumping through corn fields), LBJ, LCA, SBL, and alignment, but im piecing her back together bit by bit, so i thought i would show it off a little...(note, my cameras date is wrong, i got this car july of 2010)

great to see a new orger putting another max back on the road and fixing her up welcome and good luck on the rebuild
|
awesome man! spoilerless FTW!!!
but no sunroof deflector! permanent scarring will ensue! it always messes up the roof. not worth it imo. theres really not much noise when its open... |

|

|
Man if you get her back up to par properly, Im nominating you for Maxima of the Month. A rags to riches story!
|

|
Well you gotta crawl before you walk so long as you get there bruh.
|

Hey Jammin can u take a picture of the engine bay when you can ?
|
Very nice pick up for that low fee wish I could get one for that price I would love to bring it back to life, but out here they will still want like 1500 or more. But great steal and good luck on it...:D
|
Don't worry my friend, I will give your car the serious love it deserves!
Although there might be a few more dents, but that is the price to pay for serious unadulterated uncensored uncontrolled unstoppable... love. |

FINALLY a few updated pics and A LOT of work/money spent, the winter was rough on this old girl, was hit by a plow(pass fender only), fallin ice on the trunk (crushed trunk only) and i had to sell the rays :bawling:, but, with the bad came the motivation(and the girlfriend) to fix the car, now for pics...

Waddup Jammin? Definitely made a gang of progress since we last talked. No wonder you were MIA. Im glad you decided to stick with the OG 95-96 style. Not too many ppl do nowadays.
|
Great to see a Max being brought back to its former glory! And we got another 95-96er! Good luck and keep us updated!

nah, chris. im all about fixin up a car if your short on cash. gettin free stuff is good too, i just wouldnt do it myself, id rather buy another max in good shape is all. i mean, it went through the ringer from what he's sayin so im thinkin hes gotta a long road ahead of him is all.
|
well all, everything is MAD cheap cuz of my connects, i work at a body shop, so all the body parts together so far are totaling 350.00, as for the subs, well, the 20hp is nice but i love my music, so i had to splurge, other then that, mechanically this car is still perfect, with another round of LCAs(warranty) and a fuel filter, but next is rims, exhaust, paint and a little more body work, and i just grabbed up a set of near mint 98 headlights for 30 bux...just sayin and yes 95-96OG front end is my favorite, but alas, it is getting the 97+ rear swap,
