Been Through Hell. Still Going - Progress Thread

Little Story Behind My Maxima-
Bought her a year ago. The past owner didn't care for this thing at all. He pissed off a couple girls who went key crazy on the trunk and car itself (as youll see). Not only that a few months before I bought it one of them sideswipped the bumper (as youll see). An I got into a tussel with some black ice and rocks, I lost that battle . But all this has brought me closer to my car. Anyways. To the photos. Big plans to come..


First Day


Accident








Rust & Scratches











As She Sits



Looks like crap I know. But Im spending the next couple days fixing away the rust. My catback exhaust system and b pipe are coming in soon. Doing my TINT soon too. Stay tuned...

Cut quarter panel pieces off a salvaged yard 00 Maxima, some grinding/sanding, airhosing/Welding,epoxy, primer/paint...It's not too hard it just takes a lot of time and patience but I think it came out great.

UPDATE:
Installed Tierod which Nissan wanted to charge me 280 for. Did it myself 47 bucks from autopartswarehouse.
Got my car inspected. Passed thanks to Tunermax props. After installed my Tsudo N1 Catback with Megan Racing Test Pipe. Its Amazing...Nothing like Cattman obviously but I paid 200 within 30 minutes and seriously thought itd be ****ty and ricey. Its deep and growls. Couldnt be happier. (Sound clips and Pictures tomorrow if wanted)
Im recieveing 460 dollars for the rims i bought but didnt get. If anyone has any ideas on what I should spend it on next..Speak up. Please be serious

Nice turn around. Quick question, does the tsudo n1 sound similar to your old greddy evo 2? I'm in for pics and sound clips if you have any. Great work again.
