Figured it was time to get out of the new people section.

 

I bought my Pathfinder in June for 500 bucks. It had 260k on it, 4 bald tires, and wouldn't idle. She looked like this.Gon7GMK.jpg

 

The first order of business was to replace the throttle body. Probably could have cleaned it, but as a proper Nissan enthusiast, there was a new one sitting on the shelf. I also pulled off that stupid dirt catching trim. hsJyBgn.jpg

Got it running well, and put decent rubber under it.SQGahlq.jpg

 

Got new sway bar links and shocks all around.

After the mechanicals were taken care of, it was time to replace the Swiss cheese fender and fix the rust on the other. Eo8PLQK.jpg

The other side got sanded, the rust pitting filled and painted with the closest paint I could find.

Not sure if I should be concerned or impressed. Original radiator hoses?!

Got a optima for it, but the j bolts are too long. Temporary fix until I can find the right length.
