CNTLOSE Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Just bought at 1989 2 door Pathfinder 4x4 3.0 5 speed as a project. Runs and drives great but has no brakes and some body issues. First thing I am going to do is make it roadworthy, then decide where to go from there. Here are a couple pics of how she looks now. Good side.. Bad side... Need a few things I can find on the usual online stores so I will be posting some WTB threads soon. Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerch641 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Awesome find! I always liked the 2-door Pathy's. Looks like all your glass is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranovation Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Welcome to the forum! First things I'd be fixing would be new side mirror, new right hand front fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Who needs brakes? Just mount an ARB bumper and hold on! Welcome to NPORA man. Good luck on your project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, the two door is what made me decide to go ahead and get it. I have a '96 Grand Cherokee that I love, but wanted a two door to start playing with. All my glass is good, but some of the rubber molding around it has shrunk. Hope to find some aftermarket or one in a jy that will have what I need...although finding anything from 1989 in a jy around here will be hard.

CNTLOSE Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Welcome to the forum! First things I'd be fixing would be new side mirror, new right hand front fender. Thanks, Yeah need a fender for sure. My first car was a 1983 Ford Escort and back then a passenger side mirror was an option...lol. I will get around to it, unfortunately whoever removed it also cut the wires to it. Going to have to see if it is before or after the power plug. May just go with manual mirrors if so.

Precise1 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Welcome to NPORA! Be sure to check under the back seat and the rear frame rails from there on back as well. Those are usually the trouble rust areas, unfortunately... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised that other than some surface rust, everything was solid. The floor is perfect so I will probably just sand the frame down and spray it with bed liner.

xterra Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Always great to see another 2-door... Best of luck on the project, and I'm sure you'll find whatever information you need on these boards. The depth of knowledge (and other stuff) is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
