my 04 g35 rebuild project

Hey everyone. Well I have finally bought a g35 after wanting one for awhile. Almost got one last year but purchased a 06 gto instead. Now I have sold it and bought a project sedan from the salvage auction.
It's a 04 sedan automatic. She **** in the right front. So far I've bought a right side xenon head light, radiator support, and right fender. Still I need to buy some suspension parts for right front as they are bent mainly control arms and tie rod is bad. Also am hunting a front bumper so that will likely come from ebay. And also dreaded air bags. The crash blew the steering wheel and dash bags. Found the bags with dash and seat belts for 400 but they are dark gray where mine is black. But hey can always paint them I guess unless I find black ones before. I look forward to having a beautiful finished product and will update as work happens on the car.

I'll be interested to see how this comes along. I tend to think of a good bodyman as an artist. Because to really restore a vehicle from a wreck, it's not very easy.

I usually rebuild about 10 wrecked vehicles a year. This one will need some light pulling on the inner fender but not bad at all. I'm excited to get it together. Friday I will be pulling the suspension off

Nice project. I say pull the motor and drop an LS3 in her and you'll have a beast.

Curious to watch the build as it sounds like you know what you're doing.

u enjoy rebuilding cars? the time investment for me jus makes it not worth it considering used 03/04 sedans are plentiful and cheap as hell. I for one don't have the energy to be doing it for fun
