GI: 1997 Maxima GXE VQ35 5speed

I had lots of fun with this car, but I need to move on. So i'm gauging interesting on my car.

Mods:
-1997 Maxima GXE (137k miles on body)
-2003 Maxima VQ35(20k miles)
-2001 5speed non-LSD transmission conversion(75k miles)
-Spec Stage2 Clutch(20k miles)
-Custom Enterprise Adjustable Short Throw Shifter
-Ebay intake with HUGE K&N Filter
-Hotshot Equal length header
-Ebay Test pipe(resonated)
-Greddy SP1 Catback
-Cattman Gen3 Coilover Prototype
-Addco Rear Sway Bar
-18x7.5 Rim with 235/40/18 tire with more than 75% tread left.
-Cefiro headlight with E46 Bixenon projectors retrofitted.

I haven't had any chance to dyno this car, but I'm guessing it's around 230-240 whp so it's basically faster than most of stock import cars. I've raced and won Stock 350z, S2k CR, Evo, STI, Mustang GT and many others. it runs great but it needs some body work and mechanical repair.

-front bumper and bumper holding fixture needs to be replaced
-front fenders need to be replaced
-hood needs to be replaced
-rear bumper needs to be replaced
-motor mounts need to be replaced
-Oil leak need to be fixed
-Passenger side axle need to be replaced soon. Not ripped or any thing but it's making clicking noise.
-trunk key hole need to be shaved or replace trunk.
-center dash need to be fixed, but I have all the parts to repair.
-windshield needs to be replaced.

I'll get some picture later, but that's all I can come up with right now. I'm willing to let it go for really cheap. motor swap itself costed me over $1500 in parts. All the repairs shouldn't cost more than $2000. If I get right offer, I'm willing to sell it.
Feel free to ask any questions.

PRICE SET : $5000 OBO

you should really set a price. infact you are supposed to when you put an item up for sale on these forums...
also more pics of the car in it's current condition would really help.
i love those rims on maximas.
if i were you i'd keep the car as a toy and buy another one...you've obviously put alot of time and cash into it i say keep it. throw on a remount mount turbo and fix her back up.

edit:if you need a full repaint you can always magically get your car keyed full comp ftw.

nice mods..but 5000 cash seems pretty ****en steep considering all the work that needs to be done..but wit all those mods i would still consider it with a price drop of over a 1000 bucks

I'm just testing the water here. if someone buy this, I'm spending that money to get myself a 240z and mods, if nobody's interested then i'm more than happy to keep her and do all the repairs. but I'm not willing to sell for lowballer.

Engine bay shots? After all its a 3.5...

I think your price is a fair price. Although if you have the time, fix up the center console and put +/- $1000 into body work, and you could sell for $8000 or so.

Good luck nonetheless, a swapped 3.5 is an absolute BLAST to drive.

yea, I'm gonna fix everything and sell it for little more.
BTW I had some fun with M3 couple days ago.
Never had chance to run against M3, but suprising I was neck to neck with M3

An e36 right? If so thats still pretty good for an untuned 3.5.

Anyways, good luck
