A sad day for me.

[Xdisaster240sX]

So, Its a nice day out and I decided to go out and take a look at my engine bay. For those who dont know Im starting the major work on my project and I wanted to make a to do list so I dont forget anything. Well...I find this, Now Im going to stitch everything I can. Im sad now. Anyone ever have this problem?



Heres my build for those who didnt see it.zer...age=1

[Dittoz7]

Dayum!

[ABNRML4U]

Rust, Rust go away don't come back.....lol!Yeah, maybe a good welder? may do the trick IMO.

[Papi Chulo]

Anyone ever have this problem?

No.... I can't say that I have.

[E7-S14]

I like your sig ABNRML4U

[initial_jc]

Dang, I havent but damn

[Xdisaster240sX]

eh...shes not all that hot.

[E7-S14]

eh...shes not all that hot.

and im not looking at her face

btw to op.im worried to see what the rest of the car looks like

[Xdisaster240sX]

I rest of the car is fine...Trust me I checked. I jacked up the car as soon as I found that. I guess I just let the rust go for to long.

[krash]

dude! I'M sad seeing that. I think I'd cry if I came out and saw that on my car. Get it welded up and cleaned up!

[breadbox]

Damn! Hopefully I'll have it all stitch welded before that happens to my hatchling.

[f1seb]

No point in keeping that car. It's not going to be worth it in the long run. Time to scrap it!!!!

[Xdisaster240sX]

f*** no! I love this car. I can fix it. Its no big deal.

[f1seb]

f*** no! I love this car. I can fix it. Its no big deal.

Big mistake....but you're young and you'll learn from it in the future.

[Xdisaster240sX]

How am I young? I plan on keeping this car until it dies. Whats the difference between stitch welding it and half of the other useless mods that people do to their cars. I have alot of passion for this car and Ill do what it takes in order to keep on moving and keep it looking good. Im sure alot of people will back me on this but thanks for the heads up.

[Steady_One_S13]

rust sux.

Time, money, equipment needed and the possibility of having the important bits of the car never true to intended dimensions again.

What kind of welder do you have?

You plan on keeping the car till it dies... but what does that even mean?EVERYTHING is fixable, just a matter of what your willing to put into it. The car only "dies" when the repairs needed cost more then a replacement...

[Xdisaster240sX]

Ok...I take i back...I plan on keeping the car for a long long time. I have to go look at the welder but Ill let you know what it is in a bit.

[Red coupe]

Ok...I take i back...I plan on keeping the car for a long long time. I have to go look at the welder but Ill let you know what it is in a bit.

If you don't even know I am gonna guess you don't REALLY know how to use it either...

This is starting to sound bad.

[Xdisaster240sX]

I dont know because its my Grandfathers and I do all my work at hie house. I know how to weld if thats what your implying

[nissangirl74]

Anyone ever have this problem?

Most everyone has seen it at some point. It'll be a b**** to fix but don't wait any longer. The cancer has spread too far as it is.

The car only "dies" when the repairs needed cost more then a replacement...

The car only dies when the owner gives up.

I have a lot of passion for this car and Ill do what it takes in order to keep on moving and keep it looking good.

Good luck. I have to say this though....please make sure it is rock solid before you try to drift it at the track.

[Xdisaster240sX]

Im doing it Monday first hing. I throw pics up in my build thread.

[Dittoz7]

Mad G-Forces y0!

[S13_love]

No point in keeping that car. It's not going to be worth it in the long run. Time to scrap it!!!!

You're kidding, right?

Ha... that rust on xdisaster240sx's car is nothing. It's definitely fixable.

The car only dies when the owner gives up.

[Xdisaster240sX]

Its not like my frame rail is missing or I can see the street form my drivers seat by looking down.

[Buzzman]

I usually hang around in the Pathfinder forum, but this problem of yours is very interesting.From what I can tell from your pic, the problem is a structural one, and not just a cosmetic problem.It looks like the top of your strut tower has separated, and moved about half an inch or more in towards the engine bay. This is definitely not good. Your alignment, for starters, will be off, to say the least.You will somehow have to pull the strut tower back into place, and then weld the crap out of it.More of a concern is what other kind of rust and structural issues do you have that are still hidden. If you do manage to pull it back together, keep us informed, with pics.Good luck.

[Xdisaster240sX]

Once I pull the motor out Ill see the full damage. Like I said Im sure it wont be the hardest thing to fix. I will keep everyone updated.

[Pieceofsand]

Man sorry to see that man. Hard to say whether if it's worth it or not from just that picture. OP keep us updated with pics once you get the motor pull.

And a comment on that sig, that sh*t is phawcking sexy.
