Hey guys i bought this 2007 Nismo last week with 62k miles & its a little bit of a project ! but nothing my employees cant take care of.

 

Whoa...
Welcome! What # is it? Good luck with fixing that up!

 

Since you have the means, looks like easy work!

Congrats

 

congrats man! keep us updated on the repair! do you plan replacing that exhaust with something else? what about the rear bumper, are you going to go w/the v3 or something else?

welcome to the forum

 

how much did pay for it? I was thinking about buying a project car, but i figure it would be a lot work.

 

My car is #0562. I'm going with all original parts & the exhaust is intact. it was bent a little but nothing some heat can't put back into place

 

Looks like a pretty big project! Welcome and best of luck. You should keep this thread going with progress pics. Also, there's a single rear NISMO wheel for sale right now, you should ****** it up. Check it out here: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tire...ear-wheel.html

Also, post in the registry and I'll update it.

 

My rear wheel is fine I just put on the spare so it's easier to work on & thanks I'll put it on the registry

 

Welcome and congratulations. Its a little bent up but workable. Rear suspension - drivetrain OK?

 

Yea suspension is okay no issues whatsoever. I will post more pics soon the build is starting today

 

heres a preview of how the build is coming along. i have more updated pics at the office, i will keep you posted tomorrow. Happy thankgiving to all

 

lookin good!

How do you guys go about pulling the trunk back besides using a new panel. I'm guessing it's all hammer time to get the form back?

 

looks good so far

 

Yes sir a lot of hammer to get the form back. I'll post more tomorrow, I just need to do some work on the trunk latch & wait for the bumper to arrive.

 

update on the build.

 

Progress.

 

Wow, body work is such an art.

I am curious - did you pick this up for a steal, thus making it a good project car? Given your position, could you resell this for a pretty good profit or does it somewhat even out in the end?

Considering the time and effort invested, would this be worth doing if one did not have access to their own body shop? I figure, Nismos in average/good condition sell for around 19-23k these days, so take that into account.

 

I honestly did purchase this nismo for a steal & with the advantage of having my own body shop then it'll definitely be profitable selling it. unless i decide to keep her i will keep you all posted with how much i have invested in total. Monday my employees are back in and the rear bumper should be arriving Tuesday.

 

Congrats & thats some great progress. Its sure to be good as new, soon enough.

 

Thanks for the support. you will see a huge transformation very soon !
