So I went to two junk yards today, and got the headlights, that plastic bracket thing they bolt up to, and bumper bar, and the plastic absorber for a total of $55. That's by far the best "score" I've had at junk yards around here. And finally bumped into a Maxima at a junk yard, which had nice door sills that say Maxima, so I grabbed those too. :lol: The AC condenser is slightly bent, but might still be fine, so I'll try to straighten that out when I get more of my shit apart. I'm taking pictures when I remember, so I might have a few before/during/after pics at some point. It will be a long project though, since I just don't have the time for it. :( I'll keep you guys posted.

A little update. I started pulling stuff off, and getting parts from the JY. Not sure how quickly the project will go, but I'll do it a bit here and there when I have time. I took some pics this weekend. Might as well post them.

Doesn't look too bad.

 

One area of concern is this bent at all, and how hard is it to replace. This is the 5mph bumper in those cars, so if it is bent at all, you'll probably fail an inspection for it.

Doesn't actually look like it is too bad. You should have that thing up and running and looking good pretty quick. Good luck.

Thanks guys.

 

About this bent piece. Is it something I can just straighten out and get away with, or do I need to replace the pieces? I just used some wide pliers to straighten it out today after work, and it looks fine, nothing broke, but I don't know if that's an acceptable solution.

It's gonna be a busy week, so I'm not sure how much time I'll get to work on it, but I'll try.

I would just try to make it straight as you can get it and call it good enough. Just get it good enough so your new bumper sits level.
