My tear down, and rebuild thread.

[Kolk1]

Well, I now have every part I need to put the versa back together in my possession.

I took a couple pics of what I came home to today, and on my next day off (thursday) it all goes back together.

Big thanks to VersaSpeed. Bob helped me out on a lot of stuff, and made things alot easier for me.

So onto the pics, I didnt take pics of all the panels, it was raining and all the panels were soaked from the truck ride home.



Notice a difference besides the fact I need to swap over the fog light covers?

Yep, I had him paint the bottom part blue. Figure that, along with new springs, it should make the versa look a little lower. What I should of done was have him also paint my stock side skirts, might have him still do it anyway.

OH.. These showed up too:

those 3 subs look like something out of killzone

Well, I got some more work done today, but not as much as I wanted. Maybe ill get to finish it tonight.

Current Progress:Front Suspension is 100% doneHeadlights are 100% doneFenders I only need to do the 2 bolts that are behind the side skirtsInner fenders wells are only half way back onFront bumper needs connected to the fenders, and then across the bottom. Hood prop needs moved over to new hood.

Once thats all done, ill probably just need to tweak the body lines a little, and when the front is done, ill jack up the back and do the rear springs, but besides that im just about done.

Nice hood holder

Hey man, different scenario. Could you actually order the sport bumpers and side skirts instead of painting them? Will they fit?

[Kolk1]

I thought about ordering the other front bumper, but its more expensive, and I didnt really care that much. Either way they have to be painted, everything ive seen thats New, always comes primered, or just plain plastic.

i guess thats the beauty of the versa... its so easy to take apart and put back together, so long as you dont lose any of the plasitc tabs... ive had to resort to using a squeegie at a gas station the day after i got my carbon fiber hood... i needed a jump start, i was playing with my hid's the night before and it killed my battery... i should have taken a picture of my hood prop in action...

[themadscientist]

Your A-pillar took a hit like that and the windshield didn't crack? I'm impressed.

[Kolk1]

Im impressed too, the hood flew up enough to crush my wiper blade on the passenger side, but yet the windshield is fine.

Well, even though its Valentines day, the woman was tired and went to bed at like 8pm, so for the last couple hours ive been working on the Versa. And ill be glad to announce, I just got done taking it for a drive, and putting full tank of gas in it.

Tomorrow ill work on aligning the panels a little better and stuff like that. But besides that its done. Im going to wait a week or so to let the springs settle, then ill take it up and get the new tires put on, and a fresh alignment.



One thing I did find out, my seatbelt is locked. Im going to try and take it apart and release it, but I have no idea if thats even possible, or if I just have to replace the whole assembly. It is released enough I can still put it on though, so thats a good thing.
