Remus92 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Well rough day to end it off. I know I've been MIA around here the last couple years. Ole Flapjack died on the way home. It's too damaged for me to repair it... So I guess I'll find something else to drive and hopefully get into another pathfinder sometime. RIP 334K to end it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus92 Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Another angle. Right side got pushed in quite a bit. At least we had one last trip to the mountains in September.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remus92 Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Yeah I'm good. Airbags never went off. Lower frame was untouched but that upper radiator support took all the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Yikes! That's too bad. Good that the truck was the only casualty, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Sorry for your loss. How do you feel about a blue 2 door `89? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riderman Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) If the frame is OK, just go to a JY and purchase a front clip and bolt in on. You can straighten the inner fender parts Close enough to bolt the new metal on using scissor/bottle jacks and a piece of wood 4x4. We have done it many times. Yup, when you pop the hood you can look at the inner fender and tell it's been wrecked before, but NOT from the outside. Just did this for a neighbors PU truck a while back.

AR97Pathfinder Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I totally agree, given there is no problem with the frame or anything major under the hood. Especially if you didnt have problems with the vehicle prior. I mean these trucks are great, I have a 97 and they just keep going and I'd hate to get rid of it. Most of those body parts can be purchased aftermarket and relatively cheap such as the bumper cover and the metal bumper above that. Lights are easy to find at the junkyards as well as the fender and hood. I have seen that hood around a 100 aftermarket and fender cheaper. From that pic though it looks like the radiator is gone also. I'm pretty certain, not sure what your budget is, but if you can do majority of the repairs it could be about a 1000 or even less. At the end of the day at least you weren't hurt. If you dont mind me asking, how'd it happen? did you get rid of it yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Reverse Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Problem is the R50 is a unibody. There isn't a separate frame like the pickup and the WDs. You have the subframe, but the body is a structural part and the struts are bolted to the body. Generally, the R50 just doesn't have the value to make the expense of fixing the body structure properly worth while when wrecked like that. My daughter's 18 Versa was totaled and all the damage was in front of the front doors and windshield. The engine and trans were ok and even the windshield was unbroken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
