My 95 Pathfinder

So here is my 95. Finally got to drive it a bit today. Got it a couple weeks ago but needed to get it registered. So it's been parked since 2012 more or less for unknown reasons other than the girl who drove it had an accident of some kind and wiped out the passenger front corner. The guy I got it from took it apart to fix it but never did and it just sat in his yard collecting leaves and dust through the open sunroof. I straightened out the core support and fender enough to put it back on. Front bumper is gone and the pass bumper bracket is pushed back about an inch. I put the turn signals back on a la prowler style bolted to the brackets for now.

 

Took it over for an oil change today which it needed badly. Typically I do all my own wrenching but can't beat 25 bucks and not getting dirty sometimes! The shop manager said they smelled gas in the oil so I'm going to have to watch that, probably bad injector seals from sitting so long. I have a decent list of repairs that it needs, all typical maintenance stuff really. I do have a vacuum leak to track down soon. Idle fluctuates when the oil fill cap is removed running. Power steering hoses are leaking at the reservoir. Brakes, strut bushings, trans service. It runs good and smooth but has a pretty good tick from the passenger side valve cover unfortunately. That's it for now, great forum I feel very confident that I can fix any problems I encounter with all the info here!

So you were able to simply bolt the fender back on? I've been reading that they are welded on. I need to change the passenger side as well.
