 Thank you guys for the comments! I am slowly working on my 180SX and the most frustrating thing is getting the OEM parts. Since the car is out of production for over 2 decades and this particular 180SX is almost stock, which makes it harder. I got a pair of OEM fender from salvaged red 180SX which I ordered a week ago from Japan, costing about V$ 250. Getting spare parts is really important.  It wasn't a hard task to replace the old fender and put the "new" one in. The hardest part was fitting it perfectly like the crash never happened. The pop up headlights sounds a tad bit different from before, but it is working at least. I have to check that later. The bumper latch on the right side was warped, but it looks okay I guess. The battery was kinda dying at this moment so I had to replace it. I bought it for V$ 300 including the anti-corrosion washers.  It was really lucky that the radiator wasn't blown and nothing critical in chassis was all okay. Well the shocks have to be replaced though. The car gave the wonky feeling when I go over the bump, especially on the front.  I might have to repaint the fender someday. It's kinda sad to see my 180SX becoming like a drift missile. I guess it is time for transformation? Who knows  |
