Hi all I'm in love with the verts and made the move from coupes when my window regulator took a dump on me. What better way to fix that then a convertible? ;) I purchased this car back in July of 2010 and have not submitted it to the registry but i will. The car is and was a beautiful 92 still auto cruiser and served me well.

A few days ago my girlfriend of 2 years got hit in the rear and I'm afraid it might be totaled out, it was my favorite car now it hurts to think about it. I'm currently deciding what will become of this car in the next week or so but where it stands seems to go down the road as a rebuilt titled car.

Its gone through a few cosmetic changes since i've had her and I'm sorry to say you wont get a chance to see her at her best anymore.. on to when i bought her 300 miles away.

This was how she lived most of her life with me:

I later added on CDM OEM sideskirts (FOHO of Austria) and a Pignose front bumper and lip(Zenki). Will post pictures when I find them.

Now for the ugly.. may or may not look bad but its between $1700-2300 more than 60% of value..

I'm fighting for my life to win this claim since i do not have insurance and the other party does so my decision on repairs will be determined by the outcome of the claim. I hate to say it but I might be forced to go widebody.

Even if its totalled you can buy it back and fix it.

Its not sooo bad, missed the upper body line but the fact is its not gonna be the same and it sucks. I dont mind buying it back but I just hate the fact that I'm gonna want to find another clean titled vert on top of this one to swap my rb in. I'm just upset and dissapointed that the plan has yet another road block.

Heres how she stands now:

That should be pretty easy for a good body shop to get out. If you buffed it and put in a new marker light it would look 100x better. Either way, its a beautiful car and good luck getting her fixed.

It is staggering that our S13's are almost identical. Other than yours being a pig-nose and mine a DE.

$1700 is highway robbery. $700 is still high, but realistic.

I miss my Vert, but the AP2 makes up for it. :D

Mine is a 92 DOHC with a pignose bumper. l0nestar, I'm on northwestnissans.com and maybe in the last year or so there is a member that has your exact username, coincidence? maybe but just wanted to know if that was you?
