  • Mine are pretty bad as well.

    I repaired the passenger's side by cutting as much rust out as I could, and using fibreglass bondo to patch it all up. Driver's side needs attention though.

    Driver's side is going to be a pain with the brake, and fuel lines in the way.

    • Damned wheel cylinder is already leaking.............

      *bashes head into wall*

      Hell I don't know what to do. I am actually afraid of ordering anything decent from rockauto, because I don't know how long those parts have been sitting around, and the rubber seals are probably perished.

      Also the wheel cylinder I just put on there had a really mangy bag that looks 20 year old, and was stapled shut. Also said made in italy, that should probably tell you quality right there. *sigh* Not much better than Chinese made.

          Frame is still completely solid from front to back. Still got allot of life left in it.

            Before - No floors any more
            After - Hacked together, but working floor again!
            Not yours torque . Is this not the car that the door settled and does not shut correctly ?

            • I almost tripped and fell down the front steps while running to the junkyard for the stainless Sentra wiper mod. I think I may have gotten the wrong ones. The passenger wiper blade just kisses the r/h windshield molding. I also changed the r/h power window motor. It still goes up a lot slower than the drivers side. Next time I will check if there is binding in the glass run channels or resistance in the wiring. I changed my finger pulls from gray to black.

              • I like the Sentra Wiper Mod, gotta get me some.

                  Here is my Passenger side!! Did not snap a pic of the finished version, but I still have to seal it and undercoat it, I will add pic's of before and after by tomorrow! (If my daughter isn't driving it all day)

                  • I retired mine to a yard only car. 400acres so when I need something out back yonder I take the Aspire.

                    I agree. It's just ridiculous getting water up my crotch when I clip standing water.

                    Door all still latch like it's spickin' new.

                    • Oddly enough, I checked Four Green for floorpan pricing, and it costs $153.33 + shipping.

                        Just use a shorter blade on pass side. I use 17' passenger side and 18" on drivers side. They look like the right ones (1987-1990) if they weren't they wouldn't fit! I want to 3 JY's last weekend to find some for my 92. Didn't have a single Sentra in those years. No other years will fit. Way different!

                        Nice pulls. I have the same on my 88

                              • I sprayed it with the silicon spay, greased the slide helped some but still not what I want. Thanks for the advise.
