ok so some of you know i was planning on 4 dooring the green nissan but could never find a pathfinder for the right price or at the right time. well i was at work and right now they are crushing out alot of cars to make room for a bunch of newer vehicles and i noticed that this pathfinder was marked for death. so i asked what the rule was on cruser vehicles and they said if its marked and you want it take it so i said fuck yeah. then i asked what they would charge me for a back half of a standard cab nissan (we have 3) well my boss really likes me and loves my work and i had told him what i wanted to do with the pathfinder so he said go find witch one you want and its yours so i then said fuck yeah again. so where i am right now i pretty much have a full cab for free. the plans are to keep driving the blue nissan (my 95 std cab lowered on 17 inch billets) and build the cab when im not building anyone elses truck then when the cabs done ill probably get a frame from work and stock floor it and bag it maybe with a 720 rear end being they are 3 inches narrower and narrow the front clip so i can lay on my 17s with the big tire (i fucking hate low pros) and 2wd fenders as i hate the prerunner look the 4wds give then when im ready to transfer the motor and bed and what not ill drive the old ford

well heres the pics sorry ther cell pics forgot my camera

roof beforehardbody roof marked and cut offused the top of the pathfinder hatch and rolled the edge in the back a bit to match the harbody curves and trimmed to fit then tacked onhad to addsome to fill the gap because i made the door longer than i originally planned so i used part of the pathfinder roof marked my lines then rolled a flange to help keep the roof from warping and keep from blowing holes in this thin sheetmetal
