Buddy just smashed his '93 max!

Yeah he did it alright. Took a curve a little to fast, I'm guessing aobut like 40-45, not sure I wasn't looking at his speedometer. He got a little to far toward the shoulder at a really bad spot, gravel all in the road from a small driveway type thing. Next thing I know he slams on the brakes and we start sliding toward a barb wire fence. The posts were steel pipes filled with concrete. His driver side front fender is completely collapsed to about 4 inches from the strut tower. He punctured the radiator, and crumpled the hood and the bumper is toast.

This accident is a true testiment to nissan reliability! After all this damage and what on first glance seems devastatingly beyond repair, once he got it home, it started right up and runs fine.

Figured I'd share his story, and see if anyone has any thoughts on repair or salvage.

Is it a VE or VG (SE or GXE)??

If its a VG/GXE pull the motor and give it to me...lol jk

Post up some pics so we can really see the damage...descriptions are hard to gauge...

At least your buddy is ok...but the poor maxima...

glad to hear that everyone is ok! on the other hand we do have many experienced people here on NICO that specialize in Auto Body. I know a bit, took a few years at a local adult school to rebuild a classic truck for fun. post some pix and we will have a better understanding of what needs to be done. take a lot of pix of ANY bent seams.

first question is, did he rip off the front left suspension?

next. get up the pix asap, lol!!

peace out

front suspension is good, like i said the damage stoped like just a few inces in front of the strut tower, and if i get any pics ill post. i thinks its an se, not sure, most of the emblems were taken off
