Hey Guys I got into a car accident and am thinking of taking on a big project.

Just want to know the difficulty involved

1. Buying a Nearly stripped out shell2. Taking apart said shell, having it blasted and painted3. Swapping everything from my car including harnesses to the SHELL4. Wiring in Altima Fans5. Used airbags6. ETC>>>!!!!

As long as you have the knowledge to use the tools and have the tools to use, everything you listed is relatively easy.

Used or "deployed" airbags should not be reused again.

Use a LOT of caution when you do this. Inspect the harness VERY carfully exspecaly in the areas of the crash damage. As long as you take your time and mark where things came from / where they go it should be no problem. If you need to repair some areas of hte harness and you have never done harness work, PLEASE, PLEASE get help on the proper way to do the repair. Otherwise you will go crazy trying to locate the problems when you finish the swap.

Sounds like a long term fun project.

i agree,if there is any damage to the wires,fix it the right way ie. soldering..shrink wrap.not just twisting and electrical tape.and try to stay away from wire nuts.just my two cents.
