Well... about time I took the time for a Members Rides post. Some of you may know my car already, some may not. Anyway, I bought my first car, a really beat-up ST162, on April 29th 2000. It cost next to nothing, and at least the engine was running strong, so the project begun. In the following months, me and a guy who is a mechanic, started fixing her up.
How I bought it
Left frontside damage, and both side sills trashed
We quickly decided to ditch the brown interior, and get a complete grey/blue one instead.
After cleaning
After we got all the parts to fix her up, the chassis had to be bent back into its original form.
Panels fitting again
After some welding, both side sills were OK again, and the car was sort of complete again.
I think there's about 5 different cars in there!
After the 3S-GE engine received an overhaul, we painted the engine bay, sills, etc. ourselves. I decided on Nissan BS7, a pearl blue-metallic paint.
After that, the tedious work of finishing the exterior began. The dad of the mechanic guy worked at a panel beater, which was quite handy.
One thing is for sure, I'll never do that again! I was really, really bad at it. Always sanded too much filler off, sanded through primer, etc.! Oh well, you can't be good at anything right?
