After taking the car to the body shop last week Friday, my friend went straight to work on the car and this is where it stands so far. I'm trying to have it track ready by the weekend, so I can see if I can rip off a 12 or 11 second pass on a stock CA18DET. I guess we'll just have to see;)

That's great Dee....especially after all the wonderful luck you've had with your vehicles lately. Looking forward to seeing the results if you get it to the track this weekend. I'm sure you've told us before but what wheels are those?

I've scrounged all the parts to rebuild my front end...all except a radiator support. Gonna have to take a hacksaw and hammer/chisels to the boneyard and tear apart a B11.

Those are the 1999 B14 Sentra SE-L wheels done in gunmetal from factory. Have fun chiseling at the yard:) . I have a friend who owns a junkyard who cut the damaged portion right at the tack welds (perfectly) all for $20 bucks. All parts totalled nearly $170. the car is getting a full spray job with the addition of my old MR-2 spoiler that I had on my old red sentra. It should be ready by thursday because I still need to prep it for tech inspections at the track.

Awesome. It's nice to see your car has more body parts than mine again! Good luck at the track!
