Hey guys, I don't know if you've seen my G35 project, but I bought it for $6500 with tax. I have spent a total of $1000 so far. I've already replaced the hood (thanks craigslist), radiator support, radiator, condenser, and headlights. I'm waiting on my airbox right now, thanks Shaun.

The car runs perfect, I just need a few small things. I want to replace the fenders, even though they probably could be fixed. But I can get OEM fenders for $182 a piece.

I've wanted a G35 for a while now, just couldn't afford one until I came across this one and I couldn't pass it up.

Elk Grove Infiniti has matched all the prices that I could get online, so I can't beat that, there's no shipping involved.

For those of you who don't know, this car had no frame damage whatsoever. It took me and my buddy about four hours to put it back together. Everything just bolted right together. I took the car out for a test drive, and the car drove great, no pulling, drove straight.

I really don't know why this car had gotten salvaged. As you can see, the fenders aren't even that bad. The grill on this car is temporary. I'm looking for an '03-'04 stock grill if anyone has one.

If anybody needs a perfect Caribbean blue hood, I would be willing to trade for a silver hood or one with scratches and bad paint. Also, if anybody wants it, I have a brand new first aid kit, $13 shipped.

A couple parts I'm looking for are front and rear bumpers with good paint in brilliant silver. I know some of you guys have put on the Areo kit, I was hoping someone has these laying around.

Here's a picture update:

By the way, sorry about the giant pictures. I'm just learning this computer stuff. My 15 year old daughter has to walk me though all this stuff. I'm just a lowely hardwood flooring contractor.

I know my gaps on my fenders and lights aren't perfect, I didn't want to work these fenders too much.

Thanks,

Cool, looks good (minus the blue hood) and it sounds like you got a good deal. Good luck with the rest of it.

 

getting better.......night and day so far.....

 

its coming along great! good work!

 

wow... amazing... i like the front grill as is.

 

i think your car is DP not BS

 

It's brilliant silver, I checked the paint code. It's KYO, as far as I know, that stands for brilliant silver.

By the way, I also have M45 sport wheels with brand new tires going on it, once I'm closer to finishing.

 

i definitely want to see the finished project! don't forget to post pics.. it's gonna look awesome!

 

Good work and congrats on the find.

 

I love what you've done so far in recovering the G. Definitely shows your dedication and effort in pulling this project together, and of course if you need certain stock/aftermarket parts from any of us, just post up either here or in the Marketplace (Wanted) sub-forum.

 

wow... good job.. $6500 is a great deal! salvage or not.

 

Thanks for the kind words. I am not into salvaged cars but this car only has 15,000 miles on it.Plus all the damage was just bolt on. It runs and drives like new!

great find, if you need a front bumper, not the grill, just the bumper in BS i have my old one still, but it looks like you have one, unless you would like another. i am moving to california in 2 weeks.

 

so far so good.

 

the airbags didn't deploy with that crash?
