before and after

i bought this maxima off a woman who ran into a flat bed after sliding on black ice. my father and i had to cut the front end off from the passenger side of he radiator support all the way to top end of the driver side fender and braze a new frame on which i bought from a junkyard. i then bought a hood from tavarish, bought a bumper from the junkyard, and ordered a new fender. got a price quote on paint today and should be done soon. so here's my ride so far. just the beginning of a maxima lifestyle and i'm lovin it.
just washed it yesterday and couldnt take fresh pictures so heres the max dirty.





i know your hatin on my wire tied relay box!

wow, thats amazing work. After paint, there won't be any way to tell that it was ever wrecked. Then it's just time to start modding.

Paint it, it'll look great. Nice car, and I commend you for putting a poor out-of-commission 4th gen back on the street.

Is it just me or is that upper rad support really bent up? Been a month since I've looked at my car, so I guess I'm not too sure if that's how its supposed to look.

On the fenders and front bumper, but to be honest I would do it all at the same time since it is going to need some bodywork/sanding/painting.

Good job on the Max. Definitely get that battery tie-down on, though.
