I purchased this Xterra a few months ago. I got it for $2,000. As you can say it was a real rust bucket. I ground all the rust I replaced the rear hatch...and did numerous grinding, PORing, and herculining. It looks pretty good now. But she was rusty! I have never seen an Xterra like this. But I assume it ended up like this do to the previous owner left it outside all its life and they had a gravel drive way. So losta moisture. Done the less I put around 1200 bucks into fixing it up. 3200 for an X is pretty good in my book. I plan to keep her for a few years...and maybe pick up a 2nd gen.

So here are some pics of her when i first got her










I did a whole bunch of grinding. I stripped the whole bottom half as it had rail rust...and the rocker panels were crap...so I stripped those.


Then I POR'd them so they wont rust again....I HOPE. People swear by this paint for auto restoration....I sure hope their right.


So here are some pics of it all done.
