How big are the dents were talking about and whats the damage to the trunk?

[shadowfox295]

I'll post pics of it

[240TKE128]

Looks like a nice rear end collision happened to it. I was going to suggest just a dent popper if it wasn't to bad. If you got the tools you may want to just remove the quarter panels and take them up to a local shop to fix it that way then when the car is running get the trunk realigned, other option would be to tow it to the local shop for repairs id recommend one of the shops on DeKalb street. as long as its an established body shop i wouldn't worry to much about those kinda repairs. On a side note is there any damage to the rear end of the frame or was it all cosmetic? Also if i am guessing wrong just tell me i am an idiot, lol.

[shadowfox295]

Really i don't know. When i got the car it was like that. The rear end was welded back on so I know the rear isn't the same. I might just have to pay someone to do it and paint it my self.

[240TKE128]

I don't really know in depth a lot about the individual businesses in Camden only spent the weekends there. But i am sure if you can get it to one of the shops they can do it pretty easily, now cost on the other hand who knows, lol

[shadowfox295]

well I'm looking at City paint and body. The do a good job and don't cost too much

[240TKE128]

I think thats one of the ones on dekalb right?

[shadowfox295]

yes it is.

[240TKE128]

Cool, if they cant do it i know there are plenty of other shops in the area, we use to have a house out on the lake so we spent some time over the years out that way. It shouldnt be to hard to find a place now the cost of the work that is a whole other story, lol.

[shadowfox295]

yes well none the less it looks like i have to bite the bullet. I can't do any real body work, so I have to send it to someone

[240TKE128]

Yeah i completely understand, Let me know how it goes with them. Post some more pics when you got them.

[shadowfox295]

Will do. That is going to take some time. but I should have it striped down soon as well as the paints and rest of the body parts i need soon.

[240TKE128]

Hey man i just came across your thread, im in the middle of a vq swap in my s14. did i see this car recently on craigslist?
I live right down the road in mcbee (35 minutes?) if you need a hand engine wise let me know im pretty resourceful. not to be stealing your thread or anything but do you still have you s14 front end? mine is a little rough.

[shadowfox295]

I still have the stock front end for it. The core is done for, but the rest is still good. Also no this car wasn't up for sell in sc. I got this in FL. Thanks man I can use the help. Really i need a lift and a stand. I can't move on until I remove the engine and transmission

[240TKE128]

Man Shadow thanks to this thread all of the SC Niconauts are emerging from the woodworks, we are going to have to start a midlands nico club after this.

[shadowfox295]

Maybe. I was thinking of starting up a crew one day. Also It's good to meet other car guys and girls around here. So we have friends here to help with projects as well as to throe big bbq and beach parties

[240TKE128]

Definitely if we still had the lake house in Camden we would throw a massive party out there.

[shadowfox295]

I got about an acre of back yard. Just got to watch the music. And maybe once all our rides are up and running we can do a trip to the beach.

[240TKE128]

sounds like a plan, mine still runs cause luckily i hadnt broken it down yet before i had to stop.

[dudewutup]

Hey man I havnt quite posted enough to reply to p.m.s lol. But if you want to speed up the process shoot me a txt .(ill be deleting this after you send me a txt)

My core is pretty bad too but I have a lift and stands let's talk.

[shadowfox295]

well I was in basic when I started to rip mine apart. Cool Dude. ight need to talk to you on the lift and stand

[shadowfox295]

I wonder how many more people are from SC

[240TKE128]

I know there has to be atleast another one of us in grovetown i always see stuff from that area on craigslist from the 91+s13's

[shadowfox295]

cool cool. Well i hope others people form sc start to show up

[shadowfox295]

anyone in here knows someone in sc that has a 5 speed they don't need any more.

[240TKE128]

Something happen to yours? craigslist your out of luck noone ever posts 240sx stuff on there. Well atleast in the columbia area, checked it out found a guy in summerville has 2 s13's hes parting out completly he says call or text for info PM later ill send you the number.

[shadowfox295]

No My transmission is auto and i was trying ot go 5 speed from day one. Just so happened that when I moved here. No one seems to be selling parts. I have some parts Im tying to sell my self. Unless someone wants to trade.

[240TKE128]

The guy in summerville fell though he already got rid of the two transmission's, what parts you got up for sell/trade? I would still keep checking craigslist as long as its here in SC or even if charlotte or augusta area would be easy to get.
