Here are the latest pictures, i finally got all of my parts in, the car is ready for the paint shop. The latest pictures are posted on page 6!
any mods i should do b4 it gets painted???


After 6 months of searching, i finally found it! I bought an '04 G35 with 6MT, diamond graphite, wrecked in the front end...
Being a college student doesnt give you a lot of spare money or the ability to afford any kind of payments so i decided to buy a wrecked G35 and then invest some money and fix it up myself...
I am sure that i have already pm-ed quite a few people on this site about various parts and possibly got on someone's nerves too since i am rushing to get the car put back together so my bad!
I just want to thank anyone who has helped me in one way or another, i have learned quite a few things within my first week being a member...
I will be posting some pics of my progress soon!

 

Pix.

^^^how it is now and show us a finish pic when ur done

 

this was the shape of the car when i bought it, two weeks ago... I didnt see it in person until i bought it... this was all that i saw.. later on tonight i will post some current pics

 

What are your plans for the car?

 

how much did you pay for the wrecked G35? ...looks like you have to purchase alot of parts..esp in the engine area..looks beat! but gl on you on goin fixer upper

 

Welcome to the 'Driver boards, mali_mG. Good luck to you on the fix. Looking forward to seeing the progress.

 

Tha plan for now is to get the car on the road asap, i am going to do some cheaper mods just because i want my car to be distinct from regular g's, and since i have maybe seen like 3 other ones in my area that wont be difficult... I am in the process of getting NISMO cai and thinking about getting the 5/16 spacers, the hood which i bought is made out what i believe to be wither strengthened fiberglass or polyurethane material, lighter then reg one... I just recieved my black housing corner lights, bought my ballasts and i am interested in buying a lip for the front bumper, maybe all the way around?
Any suggestions for some other good, not too expensive mods?

 

well good luck with the project

 

The car was purchased at an insurance auction in Washington DC area, a nearby junkyard bought it for me since i don't have dealer's license... It ended up costing me around 8500, being on 04 with 30k i am happy with the price, and having sold my '95 325i bimmer i had just enough saved up for it...

Partswise, i have spent close to 2500 which in all reality is not horrible, considering that i had to purchase the following:
-Radiator support
-Radiator
-A/C Condensor
-Fans
-Headlights (Thx PearlWhite03)
-Ballasts (Thx SFLG35)
-Front and Rear Bumper
-Powersteering line
-Powersteering Sensor (pending PPGFREAK)
-Shock absorber (pending PPGFREAK)
-A/C line (pending PPGFREAK)
-Coolant overflow tank (pending PPGFREAK)

 

I am waiting on my fenders and couple small pieces before the car is complete...

Anyone has any suggestions for a front lip? I am also looking for either z tube and a pop charger or cai, any opinions which one should i get?

 

wow thats alot of improvement. i wouldnt think its the same car if u didnt post b4 and after.

 

Nice Improvement!!!!!!!

 

damn! looking good bro .$8.5k for an 04 with only 30k miles not bad...looking forward to your finished G!
