shredded tire raped body. opinion on repair? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Tantwoforty · 08-27-2009, 12:46 AM

so im driveing along and my tires tread ripes off.. and the rubber slapps my body to death and bends the piss out of it.. now my question for you body work guys is how should i go about fixing this, bend it back down and try to hammer it straght, or clip a 240 in the junkyard and find someone to weld it in.. or get a body shop to fix it all.. keep in mind im pretty broke.. opinion?

*fliprayzin240sx* · 08-28-2009, 03:23 AM

Leave it alone...it adds character...honestly, I dont see that shit being cheap...

JEDIs13 · 08-28-2009, 10:50 AM

is this why you never hit me up to go get your car smogged lol

projectRDM · 08-28-2009, 11:20 AM

Cut/weld is one way, or pull, hammer, massage into shape. Either way will take a good deal of filler and bodywork afterwards.

s14unimog · 08-28-2009, 02:01 PM

What Russ said. If you plan to do this yourself, I would invest in a slide hammer and weld on some tabs to pull from. Its going to take a minutes, so just go into it knowing that.

Sergio180sx · 08-28-2009, 02:05 PM

holy shit just from the tire!! aw man i better change mine today the wire is showing already

Tantwoforty · 08-28-2009, 03:09 PM

ok cool thanks for the advice, i think ill attempt to message it into place the bast i can and see how that comes out and go from there.

zenki.life · 08-28-2009, 03:13 PM

oh shit sorry dude. you got a lot of work ahead of you sorry to say

Sileighty_85 · 08-28-2009, 03:53 PM

bend it down as best you can

time for Aero

Tantwoforty · 08-28-2009, 04:45 PM

yea imma bent it down and hammer i out a little and do the best i can to make it look ok and find me some valences, they should cover the whole damage area.. i mean sure its ghetto... but... meh

Lozer · 08-29-2009, 12:29 AM

photoshop will fix that right up. LOL

seriously i would go to the junk yard find a car with a good rear piece and cut out a big chunk. Cut out the chunk above the pin stipe area. drill some holes in the new chunk weld onto just below pin stripe area, use that definition line tohide the edge with some bondo and sanding.

drift freaq · 08-29-2009, 12:45 AM

best way would be to cut and weld. Trying to straighten and fill? LOL bondo bucket time.

4x4le · 08-29-2009, 02:30 AM

I would cover it up with a kit....

Then you will be kitted for less money and work than it will take you to get back to stock body status.

although thats totaly the lazy and wrong way.. thats pretty much the plan lol

tryangle · 08-29-2009, 07:35 AM

Thats a easy 3 hour repair with a lower section from the yard if you know what yur doing. Im a collision tech. fixing the damage will be a pain, im sure its ripped in a couple places anyways. A nice cut and section at the lowest bodylinbe and careful welding will be the best bet in my eye.

fromxtor · 08-29-2009, 07:42 AM

Aero rear bumper, or stud weld and dent puller.

stevo180sx · 08-29-2009, 10:52 PM

i say over fenders best choice

jza240sx · 08-29-2009, 11:06 PM

with the money your gonna use to get it done at a body shop, you might as well just save up for an aero kit, nice set of rims and tires. while your saving your money take some time to work on getting it back into place

good luck fixing it bro

4x4le · 08-29-2009, 11:58 PM

I dont think that is really the wrong way to do it, kit it to cover damage.
Actually the only reason I dont have a kit currently is because I dont have any damage to hide, so I figure im going to not waste any money on a kit untill I need one. If I had one now Id have to buy another once I damage it.

haha yeah. the panel is quite bowed out as well so evin getting the areo to fit will be a pain in the ass. but its less work than trying to fix that.. i tryed to pull it down a little and it wont move at all, it joined all the other layers of steel and it just wont move. always check your tires guys lol

S14_Kouki · 09-13-2009, 01:37 PM

damn that sucks it happen to me and my friend with his fc just cut and weld

Pacman · 09-13-2009, 02:49 PM

You may need to cut your car first to see how messed up the metal is behind it, that way you know exactly how much material is needed from the junkyard.

Tantwoforty · 09-14-2009, 05:58 AM

im not the most confident in my cutting and welding skills, ill havr to look for someone who is to help me out lol

thatdrifterguy · 09-14-2009, 06:42 AM

just get one of those dent pullers. so what if its gonna have a few pounds of filler.
unless you wanna keep the body super clean then nevermind what i said

wideride · 09-14-2009, 05:24 PM

just cover it with type-X rear valances, i got one on hand...cheap/will shipped...LMK!!!

Kouki_Mnster · 09-23-2009, 01:22 PM

+1 for aero, just pull it and hammer it to get the basic shape back or just cover it up with AERO!!!

Any time we see these two statements together it pretty much knocks the body shop out of consideration.

At best it will be hundreds if not even thousands to fix that to original condition.

drifter92 · 10-11-2009, 01:33 PM

i say leave it alone

HyperTek · 10-11-2009, 01:50 PM

considering you probably drove your tires to the belt, going with a bodykit will not help lol... leave it alone and save money to buy some proper wheels/tires.

I forgot what it looks like behind that, drop your gas tank and pound that shit out.
