ey guys, my name is Jason, and im starting a project on rebuilding an old 1991 Nissan Pathfinder 4x4 4dr that has lived in the crummy conditions of quebec...icy, salt, bad roads etc... heres some details on the project
Cost on truck: $650.00cdn
Owner before me put in
-New windshield
-New Clutch
-New Transmission
-New altenaor
My repairs initialy when bought
-New brake line
-New gas line
-Full tune up
Repairs done later on...
-New power steering lines
-New battery
-ECU computer
-02 sensor
-Speed-o-meter
-Change engine gasket
I then bought a 92 pathy for parts at 300$
-Took the speed-o-meter
-Took the o2 sensor and whole airfilet peice
-Used the ECU
Saved me a bit over 1000$
-This truck also came with side bars, roof rack, seats im going to use and a @!*%load of spare parts in general. Also came with 5 brand new summer tires + 5 brand new winter tires with rims.
Right now all that bills out to about 3000$ total... a bit less
After all that I spent 3000$ for the following
-New fenders
-New inner fenders...skids for all four wheel wells
-New rocker panels
-New flooring
-New rad support
-New corner lights
-New bumpers front and back
-Remove all rust
-Install roof rack+side bars+front grill
-Put custom ZRC primer on everything...
-Install light bar and wire it
-Sandblast my whole frame and paint with special anti-rust primer=ZRC then put a black coat
In total I have a bit under 6000$ and im getting basically a new pathfinder.
Ive always been a big fan of the secound series pathy body so I saved up my money. When I first started I had a budget of 5000$ so I took all that money and em building a brand new pathy basically at this point. Then when summer comes I will add offroad mods to it.
Also you must understand I live in Quebec and the roads/salt eat away any car here. By doing all this I will have a brand new truck that I can oil spray etc... keep it mint. My plan is to bring it to my auto body shop 1-2 times a year and get everything looked and fixed so I dont get progressive rust.
SO FAR im still saving up to do the following... its expensive. Ive gotten 1 sponsor so far for lights but em looking for more if anyone is interested.
Thanks
Jay

I bet you are cursing that body hardware especially 10mm bolts that the heads snap like a bitch when the threads get a little rusty. I had to strip my pathy once for a paint job, so i can relate. more power to you though
