I might be exaggerating on the couple weeks, but he did do amazing work and it always seemed like it didn't take very long. You might want to think about joining the Gateway Z Club. They usually have some pretty good hook ups for parts and discounts at two or three Nissan dealers in the St Louis area.

King - We paid $6,600 for it. It has 32k miles on it with new springs (who knows which ones) and "silverline" exhaust. half of the exhaust is missing from behind the y pipe and back.

thank you sir! its a pretty roughed up one, but it can definitely be repaired. it should go into the "frame shop" sometime next week for the unibody work. then it will be piecing everything back together and any painting we have left.
