Every car has a story, and this one didn't go so well. This thread focuses on my 1987 GN with 37,113 original miles. Why does a 37K mile GN need a revival? Well this one got smacked hard in 2002, and was never repaired. It is a highly optioned car (original window sticker MSRP $19,101), and deserves to be repaired. The interior is immaculate, and everything is original.. except for the tires. I have acquired another 87 GN parts car that will donate its frame, hood, front right fender, core support, header panel etc to repair this car. I'm a 20 year old broke college student with a goal of getting this car back on the road by Thanksgiving (optimism or insanity?) Our goal is to keep the car as original as possible, only fixing what is necessary. When the car is done it will have as much original paint as possible. It is a survivor to some extent.
The game plan:
Swap frames
Send the car to the frame shop to fix the tweaked a pillar and firewall.
Do the paint and body work on the hood, fender, header panel, etc while the car is away.
Once the car comes back install original motor and trans installed etc.
Throw the front clip back together and drive it until the snow flys.
Here are some pictures of where its currently at. The motor is just sitting in it, ready to be removed. I am picking the parts car up next weekend.
