what a bad F**KEN DAY!

thanks anthony, hope this all works out.

What’s the status now refused?
Any pics of the progress?

no nothing yet. still just sitting at the shop, only status is that my insurance is changed from being able to drive it to not being able to (just fire and theft now) but ya im waiting to go pick up the front nose clip from a member on SON, hopfully next weekend sometime. and still gotta get my frame pulled, cant really do anything without money.

but when the status does change il post it up

so i went to go check my car today to see how covered it was in snow… cleared it off and then decided to see how much snow was under the hood, suprisingly not as much as i thought, i also put down my headlights (had to do it manualy) and i started my car up just to make sure she still runs, which it does but it stinks like gas when i reved it abit.

pics (nothing special.)

CRAP!!! you’re going to need a new rad no? an is the uy sellin you that front end i showed you…?

^ya he still selling me it. shouldnt be too much longer now, il get pics of that when i get it.

yay! should be getting the parts this weekend, also going try to get my frame pulled then i can start putting my car back together.
still going be awhile before i can drive again. oh well im saving money this way, time to pay off my credit card.

Hope everything works out for you.

ya i hope so too.
i think it all will, just going take awhile…
im going have a big learning curve when im trying to put my front body parts on, since i dont really wanna pay for labour, im going give it a try, heard its not that hard just takes some time.

the hardest part is keeping track of all the screws, nuts, bolts and where they go, which isnt actually hard at all… unless the body shop u take the car to, does a bad job of pulling and straightening everything… then lining up your body panels will be the hardest part.

are you going to be cutting and welding in a new rad support? you should probably remove the fenders, bumper and re-bar before you buy any parts to see if the thing is even worth fixing.

It isn’t that hard… just gotta take your time and line everything up right… the fender screws will probably snap on you too since they probably haven’t been removed ever.

It’s pretty straight forward though overall.

GAR, you beat me to posting.

As for keeping track of the bolts, just use ziplock bags to seperate them and label etc.

ziplock bags… thats a good idea, i probably would of just set them on the floor in piles and hoped i remembered, but the labelling the bags of screws is much much better. ty

I tried the floor method when we swapped my engine… doesn’t work so well. Just get a marker and label the bags.

ya i also found the floor method bad before. just i was installing my stereo, i think i was a few screws short but it works so i didnt care too much, but ya already got bags and markers to lable, make things alot simpler

not an update… but
i found out that my car can now have lit sleepy eyes… haha since my headlights dont work. they turn on but they dont want to flip up.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i want to drive again

thats all… cant wait to put them all on my car.

well yesterday i went to check out my car to get it ready to drive home somewhat. since its just been sitting there (outside in the winter) my battery died, just needed a charge, found out i have a pin hole fuel leak at my fuel pump so i now need a new fuel pump and a regulator or something like that, but its so rusted, i may have to get a whole new fuel tank if they cant get the screws out properly or something like that (cus there rusted). ohhh and ya since my car hasnt been driving for awhile when we hoisted it up to find where the fuel leak was i looked at my exhaust and DAMN it looks nasty, my underbody is nice and clean looking besides this ugly ass rusty stock exhaust so whenever i get more money again it looks like i may be buying a new one (was thinking of it anyway) im leaning towards Bing’s exhaust, havnt heard anything bad about them and have only heard good stuff about them.
ohh and the only body part that didnt really get damage was my right side fender, but i guess it got a little stress for the accident theres a little bubble forming on it now. oh well its in better shape then the other side and im replacing it anyway with a black one.
so now im hoping that il get my little fuel leak fixed soon and hopfully be able to drive it for the first time since this little miss hap and drive it home and park in my garage waiting for the time to put on the body parts that are resting on top of my brothers car that hasnt been moving in awhile either (ohhh anyone wanna buy his car? i could use the extra garage space… i think its an early 90’s pontiac grand am, cheap cheap cheap $$$ can get more info/pics if interested)

ok im done rambleing on now.

brad.

found out what i need.
It was my sending unit, and i guess those go for $285 for an after-market one, or $288 from Nissan. So now i gotta wait till that gets delivered to the shop (mon/tues) and also price of labour and taxes its going cost me around $416. DAMN! they said that this part was almost due for a change anyway so i guess its better i get it fixed while my car is still at the shop so i dont keep leaking fuel espically when its over a $buck$
