1998 Nissan Repair

[Ice]

Hopefully Cody wont mind me sharing these pics with you guys.. He is a member on here too...

long story short... he had another shop bag his truck and install suicide doors. Cody is by far not happy with there work , he recieved his truck not laying frame and the suicide doors would only open about 30degrees out...
someone back into his driver door and destroyed his whole door.. so what a better time to get everything fixed!
he trusted us, fix the damages and fix the suicide doors so they would open more... later the suspension will all be cut off and redone....
i do admit.. this truck kicked our ass... not as much as the truck , the having to fix "another shop's" work. they butchered his truck .. and half ass alot of work on it.... so in the long run, Cody is having to pay more money to fix his truck the second time around... but we'll make it right as possible here..
having to work around the "other shop" work , was really difficult and like everyone else, Cody had a budget.. so we did what we could ... and i believed it turned out good.. but ill let ya all be the judge of that....
heres some pics...

this is how the truck rolled in ....

this is the side he got hit on ...

http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/73/l_beb1bb286f11494a92c76cc49194b570.jpg
you can see how the door rubs the bottom.. it was like this before the wreck.. and the other door is the same .

"other shop" work
shitty welds..

[jimmy726]

hollyshit that bitch was a kick stand if he hits sides. We have a dude here in lake city that is proud as fuck of the same kick stand bullshit doors. I dont understand if your doors sag like a mofo theres something wrong. But he says hes got 5 trophys for his truck lmao. I guess we just have alot of hardees on friday night drive ins and they hand out trophys lmao

[Ice]

ok .. i started hammering out the dent from the inside and tig welded the holes shut
http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/105/l_cd62ffd44b5548c3a2e4062d2cff2972.jpg
this is where i overstretch on purpose.... so i can shrink and move the metal where and how i want it .. the metal is my bitch... i control it...
http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/80/l_d07c47057f8d4519a5cbc5959100fdf2.jpg
word of advise.. dont buy cheap hinges.... i had to modify these to make them work..
here i am cutting them up ..
http://c4.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/90/l_4d7bda909b9949d98584f5bae9984a27.jpg
we extended the arms out too...
http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/105/l_da438303f22a439bb8ae5be18ce378d1.jpg
welded over the "other shop" welds , and tig the box back together..not the prettiest , but will work

http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/86/l_404abceff52b49af8fa538ff09a5426a.jpg
its better to have a metal truck then a damn bondo custom truck... just take a look at the straightness of this bitch...

he prob got Whitley show trophies... :rofl2:

Ill be back again for sure.

If anyone is wondering what happened i was backed into by a z71.

yeah.. thanks again for your business!!! if you have any problems please let us know...

i forgot to mention , we had to replace those bushings in the hinges... way there built, they will wear out in time.... so if the door starts feeling loose, prob due to the bushings.. but you shouldnt have to worry about that for several years.... just make sure no monkeys dont hang on the doors and stuff...
:rofl:

[bggd00frnt]

First no fatty's and now no monkeys? What fun is that?!?:dunno:

I'm sure there will be no problems.

[Ice]

no i said.... you can haul fatty's now... cause your doors will open more.and i know you been eye'n that girl at Dunkin doughnuts ! haha...
and yes.. no monkeys on doors....

hahah

[Ven]

NIce rebuild..it amazes me when I see the type of work some people put out. And Ice I hear ya on rebuilding other peoples work...It Sucks and unfortunately you have to charge more to fix other peoples fuk-ups. Bottom line you get what you pay for. Keep up the good work Matt

[pugz]

first no fatty's and now no monkeys? What fun is that?!?:dunno:

I'm sure there will be no problems.


stick to sheep.. They dont hang on doors.


Great work as always ice. Cant wait to see some of the stuff u do to mine :d

[ScottXGTR]

definitely looks much better.

i like the bracing you did on the door. there is no need to add a 50lb 1/4" plate to a door to keep it strong. that setup is much better

[jcjcsoccerkid]

why can i not see the pictures. im at work but it always displays pics from photobucket and stuff. its not even showing red x's

[jcjcsoccerkid]

now i can. truck looks good! good work ice

[asphaltsurfin98]

I 2x that good work ice

[bagndrag]

thats some sick body work man always more and more impressed with your stuff

[sparkinframe]

i know this is an old thread, but ill try anyways.
what did you do to have the function on the interior handle?
pictures would be awesome, but just an explanation will help.
