Sorry is this is a repost but was browsing ebay and for this:

My jaw dropped..

 

How do I get the back half of my car onto the front half of that one....

 

wow! Thats not a bad price!!
You could sell the BRAND NEW brembos for like nearly 2k, perfect bumper 500, sideskirts, whole interior, etc etc.
Not a bad buy for 6k

 

damn that sucks

 

hmmmmm the rear of my car is fine....



that would be fun...

 

That is a very good deal.

I would buy it for a project car, if I had the money!

 

dang - what a waste.

maybe MC should update the Nismo Owners registry that # 0028 won't make it to our list?

 

This car looks pretty smashed. Sent it off to two shops for quotes.
Will bid on the item. Looks like a deal @ $10K+/-. Easily $12K to get
this thing back to semi-normal. Hmmmmm.... Should have made some
effort to see this thing as i was in NC last week. Bad timing. I am sure
the seller wants $15K++++

 

my heart just sunk when i opened that link

 

 

Do it!!

 

for that price it's a deal. But if fixed the car would never drive the same.

 

Rear damage is the worst and a lot more difficult for repairs compared to the front.

 

Evidently you've never seen a decent bodyman.

 

It's a lot easier to do a rear clip than a front clip.

 

You're kidding right? - I used to manage a body shop for 2 years and front ends are way easier to do. The rear, you have to cut and weld the quarter panels, floor panels, etc. The welding on a front end job is minimal.

 

That's why you do a full clip. Cut it at the front pillars and the seam at the door. You go to welding in two quarters, a rear panel, and the rear pan and you're likely going to end up with crooked car.

 

I think the car would be great as a parts car. Just depend on the final bid price.

 

Oh! You're talking about clip swaps. I think performing mostly bolt on work from the front end is A LOT easier than welding and sealing panels from the rear end. But changing out actual clips, I think both front and rear are pretty comparable, the front is just a pain to flush and recharge the cooling system.

 

Ahh. I'd definatly agree on that. I thought you meant comparing a clip front and back.
