Frame was tweaked. It was repaired pretty well, but it was tweaked. Both rear quarters were replaced. The rubber never held. The seams at the shock towers are rusted on the inside. The front end was tweaked repeatedly, and the front needs to be aligned slightly (It may turn into a mountain with the new nose). The trunk floor is buckled. The trunk leaks at the seams. The t-tops won't lock because that mechanism is busted, and the door is also rusted from the inside. the undercarriage is loaded with surface rust. The engine runs, but it runs mysteriously. It could take another 3 months or more of restoration work to do.
Which I am prepared for. Until this conversation happened:
I was in my cafeteria:
Me: Man, I just checked out my Nissan. The entire ass end of the car is tweaked.
DJ: That sucks. Hey, we were talking last week about my NX.. and I was thinking of selling it now. I have the G35 now, so I don't need this car for summer.
Me: Ok.. Well I already have one, and I'm way into it.
DJ: Oh well then.. I have no idea what to ask for this car. I mean i just poured a ton of maintanence into from the dealer, timing, valve job, tune up.. Everything to make it good to go. I don't know what to ask.
Me: I paid $500 for mine, and it has no rust and power windows so if that gives you an idea....
DJ: How about $800?
Me: Bring it in tomorrow, I'll check it out.
Guys, this car is mint. It's not black, it's a dark red. And it's a 91 with the black trim and no power windows. It's got 140k miles, no 5th gear pop-out and no rust. It's got the factory wheels, and factory radio. It's untouched, owned by some rich guy who used it as his "winter beater".
All stages of paint are placed on hold. My NX is completely stripped, with the glass and headliner to come out and then it's ready to be even cut and chopped, for good steel for resale or what not.
Score? Tomorrow we'll see.

You think I can move these parts though ? I literally have a one car bay full of dismantled NX bits. And an SR20DE. Oh wait... I have an SR20DE spare. hmmmmmm
This gets better and better.
My bodyman is gonna be PISSED.
Oh, and it's a 91. Rear antilock, manual windows and no cruise control. Can prolly transfer that shit over.

Ok. We'll need to redo the dash that I blatantly rewired and recabled. Or, I'll take the cables for the relocated Logicon mod. Also, the rear tonneau cover is fucked up now (It's caked with shillac from my upholstery)
If you wanna work something out, I'm game. Especially if all you want is a pile of parts.
thats sad steve 
it looked so nice too!
it looked so nice too!

Let me look into making some garage space and I will keep this on the front of my mind.

I'll get it if it's the right thing. I've got the original down to it's paintable shell, and the original lacks rust. I'll give this thing a REAL circumnavigation, now that I know the problem spots. If it's rusty under the plastics then I may reconsider...
... or offer $400.
Ninja: Where are you anyway ? Are you remotely close to me ? Are you aware that it's in a million pieces (Catalogued and bagged pieces, granted) ? It has a rough idle sometimes, and once it was so rough it didn't hold an idle. The frontfenders are shot, but I have one new one awaiting it's paint. Rear bearings may be bad, the hydraulic systems need flushed and bled, the front end needs a major alignment and it runs really rich (With no CEL). Like I said earlier, the car has been hit on every side, but repaired (The quarters are new and welded into place pretty well - the front was off a hair, drivers side pushed in to the hood just a fraction of an inch)
The back seat has a cigarette burn in it (No wait.. I took the cover off.. hmmm). I haven't made any permanent changes yet.
I'm in Connecticut. PM me if you need to.
