Front idk if it's factory but none of the welds fill the holes, it's been hit front and rear but I don't think major, just needed some not ball pein panelbeating to sort it (drivers guard has been hammered in and bogged something fierce, passengers had a little rust and I picked up a replacement for that) Anyways I cleaned out the old seam sealer, phosphoric acid'd the seams and zinc primerd the front
-
There's some rust, but whatevs They all rust out here in the tailgate latch. I have made a new panel to go in here Also some in the edge of both front doors, I think some has already been done in the front floors, oh and all the rear hatches rust out at the hinges, mine doesn't look too bad, but needs a tickle

Basically I have been to the wreckers every week as the get new ones in quite often They are all stuffed But I ended up getting all the interior trim I needed, new carpets (sentra have different boot carpets to the wingroad) wheels, drivers seat (hole in it and broken and welded cos coast car), mudflaps, tow bar, bumper steels, a guard and so on. So many parts
-
Then I went to check the miles and the odo didn't turn on anymore So I pulled that out and resolderd it

With the interior now mostly out I could address a few issues 1. The clutch felt a bit harsh. The pedal had simply snapped off at the firewall, so I got another from a y10 sentra at pickapart They all crack at the front door frames, every one I have looked at has this Im not overly concerned, the metal here is surprisingly thin, so i think it was marginal from new and 23 years of use, the last 5 being on gravel roads took its toll. Crawled all over and under the car and dont see any further fatigue, so i just welded it upand then stitch welded the lower door frame because race car i guess

Whining noise on the way out of town was just a low power steering level, so topped that up and put $20 gas in and drove home. Got back no worries other than the suspect smell inside, radio even works, aircon does not Closer inspection leads me to believe that this was Jim's mowing car, the trunk space being covered in dog hair, mulch, and grass. And then a few litres of oil all through the carpets So I pulled all the interior out, waterblasted the carpets, and upholstery vacd everything else

Every now and then I go on trademe and search for a good car I do this by limiting the distance to a couple hours from me Live rego Price lowest to highest. One day it will work, but for now I have a 1998 Nissan Wingroad JS jdm import with engaged driving style 5 speed manual and fuel sipping GA15de engine. That's right fuel injection wow. Absolutely grot, but it ran, had a couple weeks wof and rego and actually made it from coro Town to Auckland faster and more comfortably than the ractus

I originally read that as saying it should bolt to the original mountng holes, but I guess that's not what it means. It's a luggage rack isn't it anyway Linging here, but you can also do a mid brace across behind the front seats and use the lower belt bolts to mount it
